## Bound Reviews in United States

### ***** "Does exactly what it’s supposed to"
Perfect for playing your audiobooks from your files app
-- Jjjjhhhgggfg, 2025-01-09

### ****- "Great player"
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.
-- HayateV4, 2025-01-07

### ***** "long time happy user, one request"
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!
-- lev.lc, 2024-12-29

### ***** "Great app"
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!
-- Jormathog, 2024-12-27

### ***** "Great interface"
Happy with the speed adjustments, sleep timer, and general UI. Very easy to upload.
-- Chicago413, 2024-12-25

### ***** "long time happy user, one request"
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 paying this year and I may come up with several ideas how to improve it, but the only critical thing got me is the option to export and import the bookmarks! Bookmarks feature was how I initially discovered Bound.

-- lev.lc, 2024-12-25

### *---- "Stopped working!!!"
Most of your files will not be available anymore due to DRM restrictions.
-- Shan5177, 2024-12-19

### ****- "Hands down favorite Audiobook player."
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.
-- IndigoSlugPancake, 2024-12-17

### ***** "Daily Companion"
I have used Bound every day for years. The Cloud storage access and ease of use make it indispensable. Worth every penny.
-- Swayswaves, 2024-12-13

### ***** "Exactly what I’m looking for"
I was looking for an audiobook player that would allow me to load books from my iCloud Drive (Files) and this works flawlessly!
-- tlawrence17, 2024-12-10

### *---- "Google drive no longer working"
I keep my audio books on google drive and the app dropped the feature to use it. What a bummer!
-- TheGreenGoose, 2024-11-28

### ***** "Best Audiobook Player."
Your search is over. Enjoy the best. Welcome to the Bound family.
-- Marc1337g, 2024-11-22

### *---- "App is 5 stars except they removed a paid feature"
Took away one drive support now 

The developer claims Google wants to audit which will cost money but no other app has been affected or said similar. The work around no longer works so chapter support has been removed. 
.
-- TJTENNISPRO, 2024-11-21

### *---- "OneDrive doesn’t show full list of available audiobooks in Bound"
Was excited to find this app from Reddit recommendation. When first set up, this worked great. Suddenly it shows a fraction of files in OneDrive. I have no downloaded files, these are options to choose for download to listen to using the app. Downloaded one audiobook, listened, removed download then went to choose my next listen and only part of my file list shows! Makes this a waste of my $ to buy.
-- Why need a nick, 2024-11-14

### ***** "Great!"
Purchased to play downloaded mp3 podcast files I had. I love being able to open the app and pick up where I left off.
-- CashMoneyWizard, 2024-10-08

### ***** "Such a great app"
CarPlay, Dropbox support and a nice clean layout. Everything I need.
-- egkrateia247, 2024-10-07

### ***** "Exactly what I was looking for"
Praise God, Lord of the universe for this amazing app.
-- Bouytey, 2024-10-02

### ***** "Worth paying"
I absolutely hate paying for apps but this has been worth it for all the audio books I have downloaded.
-- Monkey224player, 2024-10-01

### ***** "This is the one you want"
Stop looking at comparative reviews and get this one it’ll do what you want perfectly every time, metadata, covers everything, any cloud file service it gets it done. Essential app.
-- escap3st, 2024-09-23

### ***** "A hidden software GEM*!"
Stop searching fancy, magic aaps resulting in broken promises: take advantage of a GREAT, CLEAN and FUNCTIONAL Resource for your portable audio needs. Once you try Bound, it becomes in a forced habit. GO FOR IT, you won’t regret; I hardly write reviews, but in this case…I couldn’t avoid to!
-- UserOne23, 2024-09-22
