BookPlayer

This is a great app for audiobooks you own. Totally useable on the the free mode. Though, I wish the subscription wasn’t so pricey, otherwise I would pay. Alternatively it would be nice if we could pay for themes and icons separately.

Been using this for a while now and so impressed with how well it works. It has all the major features of other audiobook players such as bookmarks, playback speed etc. But it offers even more than the paid service ones and I wish it was standard for all: 1) saves different playback speed for each individual book (esp helpful for those who listen to multiple books at a time). 2. Intuitive and simple organization structure with folders. 3. Options between chapter view and percentage view. I mainly borrow audiobook CDs from the library and this app has been extremely useful and just works so well! Kudos to the developers for offering this for free!

When i import books, using imazing, i feel the files could be organized better. For example when i import a book, it comes with a .cue, .nfo, .jpg, and the m4b file. With this app i have to click on the book folder and it shows all 4. It would be nice if it was smarter and… just played the audio file instead of making me open the folder and pick the audio file. Im sure i could import differently to overcome this but… i dont want to. Also the apple watch app is… kinda bad. Its good for finding and playing books but its resting screen is often the book list and not the control panel (pause play). I didnt have this issue with the books app. So when i raise my watch to pause my book, its on the book list instead. Also you cannot control the sound level from the watch. I think it has something to do with the boost setting. I dont want to piddle with a boost setting, ive never had a situation where i wanted my books to be louder than my phones default loudest setting. Please just make the audio adjustment on the watch control the phones volume level. Those are my only complaints. Also please consider adding a setting where you can make it so you cant have a progress slider for the whole book. Ive accidentally skipped ahead hours thinking it was on chapter slider. I saw the setting “use remaining time” but no matter how. I adjust it, i can still swipe to change it to entire book progress instead of chapter progress. Will continue using this app because i love: Iphone widget, Ease of adding book, Total Play time, No ads/book store, Smart rewind. Thanks! Edit: played around a bit more, easy enough to throw the books into a folder and even combine them. Also ive noticed the watch audio adjustment works now.

Tried once nd it worked a charm! But now I jus have blanks for shared etc, and there is no way to find any files. I’m sure it’s my fault, but I just can’t get it to work. Darn

I’m really enjoying this app for books….

I had a bunch of MP3 files I wanted to play like an audio book but not very optimistic at all that I could find something good. But on my first try I found this app and am thrilled with it! It’s very I intuitive and everything I wanted it to be!

Love the core features. The app is simple and functions very well for files you have saved already. That said, the download (via direct youtube link) seems like a feature which is broken. I’m wondering if there is a tutorial or info note that explains how this should be used, or if it is simply broken as it seems. Unfortunate as i love the app for its other features very much.

What an amazing app! I love the ease of using zipped files! I love the “total time listened” feature, that’s my favorite! I would love badges and achievements someday as well. I use this app for Krishna Consciousness Audio Books so this is a GODSENT app for a devotee. Pure bliss. Thank you for this project. I subscribed to the monthly and I pray for your success. Hare Krsna and God Bless.

I recently started to read and listen to mostly audiobooks and this app makes it so much more easier and intuitive to listen to librovox.I recommend

Great app, pretty clean not a busy design. I like that I can import books from Google drive, way better than trying to use iTunes.
