## Bound Reviews in Canada

### ***-- "Ok but could be better"
This is a decent audio book player that I was ok paying for. But there is a really great free one out there that has more features that I’ve now switched back to
-- WarezMonkey, 2025-01-04

### ****- "Some issues"
Opening the app again after switching to another there are glitches. Play button won’t work until you manually close the app completely and re-open it. 

A few other playback issues I’ve had during locked screen or with other apps open.
-- CrunktastiC, 2024-12-23

### ***** "Great app!"
Great price. Does what I need it for. Am able to easily move items from my files in iPhone into here.  Like that I can bundle the separate files to go into one audiobook here.  Like that it is easy to add a book cover. 
Would love some additional features like an “unread” option and an option for sorting the books into categories. But overall very pleased with the app; satisfied with my purchase.
-- CCCC3478, 2024-12-11

### *---- "Buggy mess"
Riddled with bugs. Constantly keeps deleting/not showing books.
-- Omegab0y, 2024-11-13

### ***** "Merging audiobooks"
I can put 30 different parts of an audiobook that I downloaded, and it’ll automatically sort them into chapters
-- Uros12341234, 2024-10-27

### ***** "Excellent Player"
Well designed. Easy to use and understand. Robust and fast. Keep it going guys. Thanks!
-- jollyfellow, 2024-10-14

### *---- "Often need to restart the app"
This app was pretty much perfect, but starting in iOS 17 a bug started where the app, having been backgrounded, will get into a weird state where it either won’t start playing at all or it will start playing and then stop once the app is backgrounded (starting again when you foreground the app). The solution is just to restart the app and clear whatever in memory value is not being set correctly, but it is getting more and more annoying over time.
-- Jamesism, 2024-09-29

### ***-- "Issues Persist"
After years of owning this app and contacting the developer about issues, almost all the original problems persist. 

- Sometimes M4B files just freeze when trying to resume them with Shortcuts. When the app is force closed the book returns to 0. 
- You can't bring folders of audiobooks in. You have to navigate into each folder and select the files you need. Very impractical for series. 
- You can't export a book once it's been imported. 
- For the last two issues I suggested this a while ago: "import and export books via the Files app. (Add Bound as a source. Maybe have an inbox that you can drop files into, that will then get organized into the format the app expects.)"

On the plus side, they did introduce dark mode pretty quickly after iOS 13 shipped. So that's something!

Things that have been fixed since initial review: 
- You cannot add Audiobooks while disconnected from the internet. Tapping the Files option just brings up an error telling you that you're disconnected.
-- Romans B, 2024-09-21

### ***** "Very good"
The web upload has saved me a few times.
-- Donovan Halifax, 2024-06-20

### ***** "The best audiobook app I’ve tried"
There are some apps that really change how you feel about developers, and this is one of them. Not only does this app does everything what you expected to do it does it effectively and flawlessly. Adding new books is a breeze, and it’s as enjoyable (if not more so) than other apps including Audible’s.
-- WatsonHelmholtz, 2024-05-19

### ****- "Love the app"
Does exactly what I need it to. Plays my audio books. Isn’t choosy about format or source. Did I buy it or make it. Wish it had an applewatch sister app. So I could leave the phone at home while out exercising.
-- Superbunnyboy, 2024-03-14

### ****- "Perfect but needs iCloud Syncing"
Almost perfect. 

If you have multiple devices (iPad and iPhone) you won’t be able to sync up over the cloud.. it’s the only thing missing imo…. Please add this and it’s a 5/5 app
-- Jiroudude, 2024-01-30

### *---- "Can only select individual files from apple files app"
The apple files integration doesn’t support importing more than one file at a time. This is not practical if you have a large folder in iCloud you’d like to use.
-- jvatic, 2024-01-09

### ***** "Great alternative"
It has come a long way, almost like audible app.
-- deep_ak, 2023-12-13

### *---- "Continuous play locked behind subscription"
Continuous play feature is locked behind a subscription, don’t pay for it.  Worthless without ongoing paid subscription.
-- JenMcMm, 2023-12-11

### ***** "Best audiobook player on iOS hands down !"
Keep it up guys !
-- Wesam Khalfalla, 2023-10-30

### ***** "Just works!"
This app is still the best non-audible audiobook player I’ve found. And the various ways to upload your audio books mean that it will work however you normally store your audio book files. Highly recommended!
-- CRussel, 2023-09-03

### ***** "Solid local media player"
Does everything it says it will and looks good too. Glad I  found this player. Happy with it for about a year now and no plans to  look for another one. Well worth the money
-- DK3353256, 2023-08-26

### ***** "Simple yet Proficient"
Fastest review ever
-- doo_dle007, 2023-07-27

### ***** "Excellent App"
Works flawlessly.
-- Wiggs1034, 2023-04-01
