Bound - Audiobook Player

Perfect for playing your audiobooks from your files app

This is a pretty good, no frills audiobook player. It has a super clean UI and works really well. I consider it my backup book player at this point. The problem is that there’s already a free book player on the market that has the major features that I never really knew I needed until I tried out this app. 1. The sleep timer works as intended, but one feature that would be nice is to have a “reset sleep timer when play button is hit” feature. If you’re listening to a book and haven’t fallen asleep by the time the book stops, then you’re forced to go back into the app and reset the timer. 2. A control panel widget to resume playing the last boom where you left off. Having a 1 click solution to playing your audiobooks is SUPER handy and something I feel gets overlooked.

I’ve been using Bound for at least five years now! It’s one of the few reasons I keep my old iPhone and resist switching to Android! I was happy to see that the app got an update with the fresh layer of paint this year, and I may come up with several ideas how to improve it, but the only critical thing to me is the option to export and import the bookmarks! Bookmarks feature was how I initially discovered Bound. But I can’t keep my entire audiobook library in the app, and perhaps no more than 9 books at a time, then when I remove a book from the app - all my bookmarks are gone forever!

I’ve been using bound for a long time. I love how easy it is to get files off my PC and on to my phone. Great audiobook player!

Happy with the speed adjustments, sleep timer, and general UI. Very easy to upload.

Most of your files will not be available anymore due to DRM restrictions.

Hands down my go to for listening to audiobooks. Excellent integration with Drive, Dropbox and other cloud services for storage. Only minor complaint is I wish there was a better version for the iPad.

I have used Bound every day for years. The Cloud storage access and ease of use make it indispensable. Worth every penny.

I was looking for an audiobook player that would allow me to load books from my iCloud Drive (Files) and this works flawlessly!
