Bound - Audiobook Player

Please add syncing with PC using the Apple windows app. Same way we can download music or videos using windows.

One of the few apps i can say just does what its supposed to without any caveats.

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.

Great app makes the need for itunes for audiobooks completely redundant.

My complaint with Bound has always been the same: import options are too limited: 1. The webserver only works if you have an internet connection and local Wi-Fi, despite only needing local Wi-Fi. 2. There's no WebDAV support, so you're limited to a choice of three cloud drives, or a convoluted method involving extra apps and the Files app. 3. There's no iTunes File Sharing support, so you cannot simply plug in a cable and transfer files from your laptop. I'm sure there was a reason I bought Bound, but whatever it was I've forgotten. I use the other audiobook app now.

The app lacks support for the Files API and for iTunes file transfers. The Wi-Fi network detection is poorly implemented. All this makes it inconvenient to get audiobooks into the app. Aside from the difficulty of getting audiobooks into the app, it's very good - just not good enough to make up for its shortcomings in file management.

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

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.

Simple to use, does everything I want and looks good too. Like the pretty, descriptive icons it makes for each audiobook.

Had to force quit the app for it to play the next chapter
