## Bound Reviews in Germany

### ***-- "No Search/Annoying to Upload"
I generally like this app quite a bit, but I really want to just connect my iPhone to my Mac and copy my audiobooks over. The webinterface is so slow compared to usb c.

I have a ton of audiobooks so this is an issue. For the same reason the lack of a search bar is also very inconvenient.
-- CptNostromo, 2025-01-30

### *---- "Funktioniert nicht wie erwartet"
Kann nur zu Dropbox und OneDrive verbinden. GDrive wird nicht unterstützt. Auf OneDrive werden m4a Dateien nicht angezeigt. Die App ist damit unbrauchbar für mich. Der Anbieter verweigert die Rückerstattung, trotz Reklamation noch bevor die Kaufbestätigung von Apple kam.
-- Maik Lindner, 2025-01-07

### ***-- "Please add statistics"
As an ex audible user I would love to have statistics about my listening activities. The rest is easy to use and very functional. Great app so far!
-- MAC_DJD, 2025-01-06

### ****- "lesezeichen! 😍"
exakt, was ich gesucht habe. macht keine faxen, lässt alle dateien da wo sie sind und versucht auch nicht rumzuspionieren oder dateien ungefragt mit irgendwelchen onlinediensten zu syncn. was ich mir noch wünsche, ist die möglichkeit, lesezeichen zu beschriften und es wäre schön, wenn die lesezeichen beim re-import von dateien erinnert werden. thx und friedliche weihnacht' ✌️
-- ingo z., 2024-12-25

### ***** "Für Hörbuch Liebhaber"
Tolle App! Man merkt, es wurde von jemandem entwickelt, der auch gerne Hörbücher einfach hören möchte!
-- Plumbummmmmm, 2024-11-26

### *---- "Onedrive does not work"
First Google Drive was not supported anymore, now even Onedrive stopped working. 
If you try to load an audiobook via Onedrive, every folder has „no audio files“ in it.
This effectively means the app is useless now. Which is unfortunate, because before that the app was top-notch.
-- InquisitionOmega, 2024-11-15

### ****- "Ganz gut, aber keine Suche / Export"
Wenn man seine Hörbücher von gerippten CDs auf dem iPhone KOMFORTABEL hören möchte und die Übertragung ohne Kabel/iTunes stattfinden soll, wird es etwas schwierig.

Bound, BookPlayer oder CloudBeats (inkl. Cloud-Streaming) oder das neuere Every Word sind dann die Qual der Wahl.

Bound erkennt das Album anhand der Tags und erzeugt die Kollektion automatisch und erstellt sogar ein Albumcover, wenn keines vorhanden ist, leider gibt es weder eine Suche, noch kann man seine Hörbücher aus der App heraus exportieren/teilen. Auch in der Dateien-App wird kein Ordner sichtbar angelegt.

Ist dennoch mein Favorit für lokale Hörspiele!

Die fehlende Suche stört mich nicht, da sowieso immer nur 2-3 Hörbücher in der App geladen sind und der fehlende Export ist aufgrund der Cloud wo alle Dateien liegen nun auch nicht weiter tragisch.

Aber folgende Verbesserungswünsche habe ich noch:
Die OneDrive-Anbindung funktioniert gut (ohne träge Dateien-App dazwischen) ABER leider nur mit eigenen Ordnern. Da aus Office 365 Family 6x1TB ungenutzter Cloud Speicher übrig ist, wurde von jedem Account ein Ordner mit einem „gemeinsam“ genutzten Account geteilt als Apple Music Backup und für Hörbücher - diese 6 geteilten Ordner werden aber nur über die Dateien-App berücksichtigt und nicht direkt von Bound…bitte fixen
-- kyrbies_DE, 2024-11-11

### *---- "Eigentlich 5 Sterne aber OneDrive streikt"
Seit einer Weile zeigt die OneDrive Integration immer „no audio files“ in sämtlichen Ordnern. Laden per OneDrive funktioniert nicht mehr.
-- nebelfetzen, 2024-11-02

### ****- "Super App mit ein paar Abstrichen"
Eine wirklich sehr gute App zum hören der eigenen Hörbücher. Lediglich bei der Übersichtlichkeit der Bibliothek muss meines Erachtens nach noch nachgebessert werden. Hier fallen mir spontan Ordner ein, in welche man die Hörbücher kategorisieren kann. Zudem wäre eine Zuordnung nach Genre oder Reihen super. Wenn dies ergänzt wird, komme ich gerne zurück und gebe die 5 Sterne. Als Bonus wäre dann nur noch eine Cloudsynchronisation wünschenswert. Aber für den geringen Preis ohne Abo macht man hier nichts falsch. Bitte weiterhin diese tolle App unterstützen. Vielen Dank an die Entwickler!
-- PaterProx, 2024-10-24

### ***** "Bester Hörbuch Player - speziell im Auto"
Genau die Funktionalität, die ich mir immer gewünscht hatte: super bequem Hörbücher - oder per KI eingesprochene Texte - lokal aufs iPhone kopieren und dann am Gerät oder im Auto via CarPlay hören. Grandios!
-- Basti84, 2024-10-17

### ***** "Perfect Audible Replacement"
In combination with OpenAudible you can finally listen to Audiobooks without internet connection again. The integrated webserver really makes it easy to upload your audiobooks and I didn’t have a single crash since I started using Bound. Minor nitpick: I find the total time display a bit confusing, showing the elapsed time per chapter would make more sense to me.
-- coder7374726552626, 2024-07-30

### ***** "Best"
The best audiobook player i know.
-- Ollemand, 2024-05-29

### ***** "Great App"
Very nice app, only one thing I miss, it would be nice to create folders to better organize different books.
-- Pogropop, 2024-04-21

### **--- "Funktioniert nicht wirklich"
Leider funktioniert das Upload der Daten per Web nicht wirklich. Mann muss die App ständig im Vorground haben und auch die Webseite ständig offen. Dann kann es vielleicht, wenn du Sonne schräg links von oben scheint funktionieren.
-- Hiki0815, 2024-03-03

### *---- "Leider schlechte Weiterentwicklung"
Leider scheint das Problem mit unvollständigen Folders zb bei Onedrive auch nach Jahren immer
nicht zuverlässig existieren. Eine Mail an Support wurde leider nie beantwortet . schade um das große Potential.
-- exii, 2024-02-26

### ***** "Great app."
Perfect for my usecase. Thank you!
-- johnyboy., 2023-10-13

### ***** "Best App for DRM free Audiobooks"
Btw: there are hacks to even free up Audible Audiobooks of DRM
-- WaldorfPatriot, 2021-11-27

### ***** "Nice and simple"
I love the way the app just works. Thanks to it’s simple design, I prefer it over audible or other alternatives. Highly recommended!
-- metabook, 2021-06-08

### ***** "Perfection!"
Best app for audiobooks
-- User#13, 2021-06-06

### ****- "Tolle App"
Wünschenswert wäre noch ein SMB Support um auf Daten im Lokalen Netzwerk zugreifen zu können.
