## Bound Reviews in United Kingdom

### ***-- "Decent player"
It doesn't have an iPad app though, which was something of a surprise.

It doesn't have support for the Files app or iTunes file sharing either, which is jawdropping. It has a built-in http webserver instead, and that only works if you're online. It doesn't use the internet, it just refuses to work without internet.

Aside from those things, it's ok as a player
-- Marsmite, 2024-12-21

### ***** "Exactly what I was looking for"
I really love this app. After trying SO many other options for my archive of audiobooks, most from CDs, Bound does exactly what I need it to do. 

I can easily organise files in the app, unlike with Books. I can listen to audio from a variety of sources, unlike Audible. I can quickly delete and update files via Dropbox, unlike Apple Music. 

There’s a very simple chapter navigation, sleep timer, and importing files is very easy. Worth every penny. 

Only thing I’d like to see is being able to move multiple files at a time, rather than one by one.
-- AleximoCroissant, 2024-09-22

### ****- "No PC sync using cable"
Please add syncing with PC using the Apple windows app. Same way we can download music or videos using windows.
-- SK - Nickname Taken, 2024-03-18

### ***** "Basically Flawless"
One of the few apps i can say just does what its supposed to without any caveats.
-- tlcarus, 2024-03-16

### ***-- "Good on phone, bad on CarPlay"
Works great on phone. CarPlay is very buggy. No way to skip chapters on CarPlay either. Shame this hasn’t been updated for 2 years.
-- chief muckface, 2024-03-07

### ***** "Excellent"
Great app makes the need for itunes for audiobooks completely redundant.
-- Bear Bick, 2023-12-26

### *---- "iPhone updates"
Since the latest update this won’t run in the background, if you minimise the app whilst playing an audiobook it stop , basically you cart multi task while using it
-- alfydoo, 2023-10-13

### **--- "Had lost my library 3 times now"
Not sure why but every now and then the app cleans out my entire library. 

I think it may be because the apple stores the books in a cache instead of a library. I only assume this. Because in the storage bit in the iPhone settings it just shows the total amount of storage used not the individual books

I think the iPhone sees the books as cache and then cleans them out. Maybe to save space

I am only guessing all this. What ever causes the issues, it is very annoying.
