MP3 Audiobook Player App Reviews

Very Good Overall

Overall I like this App, and its the best audio book app Ive found to replace Apples pre-8.4 functionality. The interface looks nice and it has all the core features you really need. I didnt rate it 5 stars because of a few minor annoyances: (1) you have to upload your books directly to the app - it doesnt read the audio books loaded via normal iTunes. (2) the chapter names are the audio file names, including the file extension, rather than the meta-data in the file (which is odd given the book name and author is extracted correctly) (3) I had to zip my books before uploading to get them to be grouped and played correctly) (4) the playback controls for skipping and bookmarking arent always displayed, so you have to tap to see them. Overall I like the app far better than Apples attempt in 8.4, and better than the horrific interface of bookmower / bookmobile where you have to go through multiple screens for all the basic navigation functions.

Exactly what I needed!

Perfect way to play synced audiobooks!

OK, but need more

The interface is very basic and the watch app is missing all kinds of information. What chapter am I on, how much time is left on the chapter? Etc, etc, Not too bad otherwise

Great but some small issues

App is great and easy to understand and use. I think the best audiobook free app. The uploading the books from iTunes is easy but when you try to bring the book up in the library I had to restart my iPhone every time I uploaded a book to get it to show up. Just quitting the app didnt do it. The only other small thing is that if youre in the middle of listening to a book, the app takes a long time to turn on the further in the book you are. Its almost like the large the book the longer it takes to open. Other than that its a great free app.

Exactly what I needed!

I love audio books, and have several that are one long audio file. This lets me bookmark it and save my space, as well as setting sleep timers if you like it to shut off automatically. Other features are pretty standard. Highly recommend.

Crash on launch after update

The new integrated browser is the cherry on top.

Good app, deceiving upgrade practices

The app is good. I was looking for an app to play my audiobooks at 2x and this does it. Also has very nice ways to import a book. The problem is when I went to upgrade to "pro" version I paid the $1.99, BUT that wasnt it. I had to pay an additional $0.99 to get rid of the ads. I felt VERY DECEIVED and would head this warning when looking to upgrade. Otherwise this would have been 5 stars.

This is what you need!

This is a great Audiobook player. Getting books into it works differently than Apple native apps, make sure you read the documentation for how to do it. Thank you to the developer for making my audiobooks work well again.

Love this app

I needed an app to play my audiobooks I use to help me fall asleep. This works great! The recent fix resolved my crashing issues. It is a bit confusing to add the files into the app but works great once youve got them there.

Exactly what I was looking for

For those of us who already have audiobook files and just want a decent app to import and play them this is perfect. It looks good, has the functionality I need, and is free to boot. The upload file process is super easy though it is not apparent how secure it is. Overall great app and there are not many like it.

Bad app

This app dose nothing u cant search any books! The help button doesnt help at all!

Wow exactly what I needed

I needed an app for all my audiobooks converted to MP3. This app will start my mp3s where I left off even after app is closed. I hate iTunes and never use it for anything but this app makes it easy to load MP3 folders in with one drop window. Just select your phone in iTunes, click APPS, then navigate to MP3 books, and in the right hand window drop your folders containing your MP3 audiobooks. Done!

Exactly what I was looking for.

Lets you play MP3 audiobooks broken into many individual files, seamlessly.

Wonderful App!

This app is precisely what I wanted- what more can I say? It is great! Thank you!

The better mousetrap

This is so much better than iTunes for listening to MP3 audiobooks. Easy to download them into the app, it collects chapter files into one book folder, plays them in proper order and most important, remembers where you left off, even if you quit the App! This makes the 1.99 cost for unlimited length books well worth it.

Best audiobook player on iPhone

Havent found a better one to replace it yet.

The best audiobook player for iOS

Ive tried a ton of audiobook player apps and this one is the best. Allows for users to upload mp3s via the browser, very clean and intuitive interface, sleep timer actually works (unlike the audible app) and playback speed options are quite customizable.

Prompted to re-purchase

Although this is a great app for listening to audio books it seems to have one really annoying feature. I have already purchased the full version of it but for some reason in the middle of listening to a book it cut out on me saying that my 12 hour limit had been reached and that I had to purchase it to continue. It did say that I wouldnt be charged if I had already purchased it but it still was extremely annoying. I was walking to work so I couldnt really stop to get it all sorted out so the rest of my walk was spent in silence. This is a bug that really should be dealt with.

Disappointing

Quite disappointed with the app, loved the idea but the app doesnt recognize the whole audio files... For instance my audio file will be 18 hours but it will only recognize 10 hours of it. iTunes and other Audio players recognize the full file so its something screwy with this app. If this can be fixed I would appreciate it and increase my rating. I paid 2.99 for the upgrade for this app and cant really use it.

MP3 Books

I have tried most Audiobooks apps available and by far for my personal needs with a large personal audiobook collection of audiobooks, this app is the best. It has never lost its place, and recognized my media perfectly in m4a m4b and MP3 formats. It works perfectly. Nice artwork handling. Make iBooks look like a joke by comparison. If you have your own audiobook media, must have.
