So far I am loving this app. Being asked to sign up for the second service at login was a bit of a pain as I only have one service live at the moment but it’s all good because I will be able to switch if I don’t want the one I chose (it has a one month cool down unless you pay for premium). So far it has work well with my audiobookshelf and is quickly becoming my favorite app for listening to my audiobooks. Only minor complaint is that every time I start the app I have to adjust the playback speed back to where I want it, but great news! I talked to the dev and he is working on making that setting persistent.All in all I recommend this app.

Great App
GhostWorlds
The app looks beautiful and works well. I have it setup with Audiobookshelf. The only issue I have is that it takes forever to load when I open the app. I have a audiobook library of over 300GB so I can understand it will take a little while. But it loads way slower than other apps I’ve used. Once everything loads in it works great though. Would 100% recommend for smaller libraries.

Thank you so much for the kind words GhostWorlds! I am so glad you are enjoying the experience!Love the username btw!
