Audiobook Player

I like to import my mp3 files and listen to them. SmartBook is by far the easiest app to use. The way of transferring using the website is clever and works very fast. The app can also find png’s in order to have a book photo which is nice. It also knows the order of your book spot on. Overall does everything I need :)

Wanted to love this app, but unfortunately, when I pause from the Lock Screen, and then switch over to the actual app (or Vice-versa), it does not remember the pause location, and I’m reverted back to the previous position. It’s quite frustrating, especially since there is no option to add a bookmark to get around that issue. It defeats the purpose of having an audiobook app if I have to search for the position I left off at every single time. I do appreciate that this app is offered for free! Also, I like that the audio settings (speed and volume) carry over from Book to book—I don’t have to reset it each time. And it’s great that there’s no time limit on how long of a book I’m able to listen to for free.

The app is great with its set of hiccups. It does remember where you left off and fairly easy to download apps. The hiccups consist of the app crashing when deleting audiobooks, sometimes uploading, and sometimes glitches on playback if you're not in the app itself. So far it’s tolerable since its delivering what i want. I’ve listened to more audiobooks everyday than i ever had before and i am truly over the moon happy. Just looking forward to an update to fix the bug issues

This is by far some of the buggiest software I have ever spent money on. Sadly there are no good alternatives. But stick with the free version. The developer obviously has no interest in maintaining this product.

Even with paid version smart rewind doesn’t work correctly. Tech support is not existed.

Love!

Perfect to listen my audio books while busy on the computer

Hi! Love your app... but: Firstly, it's not SmartPlayer, but SmartBook -- the ?subject is likely set wrong in the source code for the feedback button. Anyway, here's the bug I wanted to report: after creating a new book by importing it via WiFi, I can't see it listed even after the app said it was a success. It appears after I maximize and then minimize the currently playing book. It's likely a one-liner, just need to make the list view refresh once the upload is done. Thank you for the app once again! P.S. This review was originally an email, but it failed to reach your mailbox.

I tried the free version of this app with the two book limit. This was one of the only audiobook players that went up to 3x speed and still sounded good. After a couple of books I bit the bullet and decided spend the $9 to upgrade to the “pro” version so that I could add more books. (It still shows “upgrade to pro” even after you have upgraded it) After using the app for a couple of weeks I started to notice the bugs. For one, there would be times where I would pause the book and when I came back to it sometimes it’s would jump back to 15, 20 even 30 mins or more from where I left off. So then I had skip, skip, skip forward to find where I left off. It got to the point that I was taking screenshots of my place so that if it jumped back I would at least know where I had left off. On other problem with the app is that you have to load books either through WiFi via your computer browser or from a cloud service like your google drive. And, you had to zip up your books if you want to upload more than one book at a time. Additionally, you don’t get any book cover (minor annoyance, but still), you can’t arrange your books and there is only one view so you end up with big no picture book icons in the order that you upload them. For $9 this should have all the features of the other players that are either free or priced less. The only reason I resorted to this player is that it played a decent sounding 3x playback. If you don’t listen to anything above 2.5x, I would not recommend getting this App. There are better free or lower cost apps that do a much better job.

My biggest concern about switching from an android was losing the ability to easily listen to all of my mp3 audiobooks. This is a spectacular app. Thank you!
