This program does everything I want for listening to books that are an MP3 format that I got off of CDs at the library. It is perfect for me.
So far the only glitch that I’m experiencing is that the app starts lagging after prolonged use, a button press may take like 10 seconds or longer to respond, restarting the app resolves it. Besides that, love the app.
I listen to audiobooks all the time and have used this app for many years. I bought the pro version - you only have to pay once and it’s definitely worth it. It works great especially since I am often in the car with no cell signal and can download books very easily when I am connected to WiFi. Several times I wrote to support with an issue and they replied immediately and fixed it. Highly recommended!
Bought this player several years ago, paying to ‘remove all restrictions.’ But now it’s telling me I’m using the free version, and I have to pay again to remove all restrictions. Contacted the owner but got no reply. It’s a ripoff.
Only 12 hours of audio for free in an app filled with ads. EW
I purchased this app over a year ago and have been using it every day. I’ve recommended it to a couple of friends, and they are very satisfied with it as well.
i’ve been using this app for several years for audiobooks that have I have purchased from Audible and then removed the DRM from the audiobook using Open Audible. One of the things I love about the app is that it has an EQ. Using the EQ, I can fine tune vocals for audiobooks so that they’re sharp and clear. Another thing I love about this app is that I fall asleep with audiobooks on, so you can set the timer to automatically turn on whenever you start an audiobook and the shake to wake feature has adjustable sensitivity levels. This way I can set the timer for five minutes if I’m not falling asleep immediately I can just give it a light tap and it’ll add five minutes. The Audible app doesn’t have adjustable sensitivity levels for the shake to wake and it doesn’t allow you to automatically set the sleep timer. Also, I really love that this isn’t a subscription based app. I don’t have to keep paying for it over and over again to remove ads and get extra features. It’s a small fee and it’s totally worth the money. I also find this app easy to use with my own personal audiobooks. I just use the my Files app on my iPhone to transfer the audiobook from my windows computer to my iphone and then use the import feature in this app to load the audiobook into the app. also, I had a small question about the app and the author replied immediately.
I have the pro version. Tried to restore the purchase and it say successful but still get the ads
I downloaded the app, selected an audiobook by Richard Dawkins I had dowloaded from my library, opened it in Kindle, played it on the Mac, but the iPhone version WILL NOT add the book, even though the same app on the Mac works. As I paid to upgrade to Pro, I either want my money back or for the developer to point out something I am missing. Also my review doesn't show up.
This is a really good application but ever since the new iOS, it’s very clunky working with Apple play. I hope it gets fixed soon.
I have used several readers and continue to come back to this one.
I cannot get WiFi upload to work anymore. I have turned off the iOS ip privacy settings. The app still shows the friendly name rather than the ip and shows no port. I did try the ip:1111 anyway but no luck. I also tried to contact support but the form wouldn’t work. RESOLVED: Weirdly you have to turn “Private WiFi address” on for it to work
This app works very well and allows me to have complete control over my audio files.
I love this app because it’s a great player but most importantly for me is that I can upload my own mp3 books and play them.
I just downloaded and installed free version. I have Dropbox installed. Trying to add audiobook in Dropbox directory to app. Add file indicates it is possible. However, Dropbox does not show up as an option. No apparent way to access. Attempted to use “Contact” option. Entry screen pops up and I filled out. Last field is “Control question”. The control appears to be, no contact allowed. Regardless of the entry, it either responds with an error or “There was an error trying to send your message. Please try again later.”
Used for several months. Will have to go back to using the “bookmobile” app. Not being able to have a playlist which automatically starts playing the next listed book is a deal breaker. Hard to start another book when I’m power walking m. Doing chores and worse yet, in the sauna with my phone out of the sauna. No playlist makes it difficult to go from one book to the next. Incorporate a user ordered playlist and I’ll use it again. App is inferior to bookmobile for that reason.
"I absolutely love this audio listening app! It's incredibly user-friendly and packed with fantastic features. Whether I'm diving into my favorite audiobooks or catching up on lectures, it's become my go-to companion. Highly recommend!"
I have had this app for several years and listen to audiobooks daily. Simple, straightforward, and it works. It
I have the paid "pro" version of this app. It worked fine for a while, but with one of the ios 16 releases the ability to transfer books from my computer stopped working. I contacted the developer but nothing he suggested worked. If you Google this issue, you'll see others are experiencing the same thing.
Fine app, but don’t expect any help from Oleg. He doesn’t care. My iphone suddenly wouldn’t connect to my pc for transferring audiobooks. The fix is to turn off “Private Wi-fi Address” under the ‘i’ next to your wifi network in Settings/Wifi. This feature was added to an IOS upgrade recently and blocks this app from communicating. Turn the Private setting back on when you’re done for the marginal security it provides. Thanks for all your help, Oleg!
I tried many of these kinds of apps that play mp3 audiobooks. This is the one I landed on. Solid, and works.
First let me say I love this app and have been using it for years. I’d like to point out that I recently upgraded to the iPhone 15 pro max and have been having issues with the app ever since. When I stop a book or use the sleep timer, it marks my placement far later than where I actually stopped, about 30 min -1 hour. It’s a little frustrating because I have to go back and search for where I truly stopped listening. Not sure if this is an issue with the current version or the new model phone. I hope this gets fixed because I really do consider this to be the best audiobook app out there.
Once you get used to it. It’s great.
The IP upload has been fixed! Thanks
Whenever I pause and play again, it automatically fast forwards by over 10-15 minutes. It doesn’t start where I left it on pause.
Used to be the best audiobook app I’ve used, but recently, adding books via WiFi has stopped working. Recent update has somehow broken this function and I can no longer get books onto my phone. Other methods like using google drive don’t work either.
I prefer to listen to book series rather than stand alone novels, and this is one of the few apps that lets you combine all volumes of the series into one folder to be treated as a single book. The only downside is that it pulls the title of the book from the first file, not the folder name.
So not really fres
For some reason the audio sounds like it’s coming from the side or bottom when using AirPods Pro. I changed the audio engine from automatic to universal and that helped but when I pause and play again the audio is again messed up and I need to go back and toggle the audio engine back and forth to fix it. I took off a second star because the free version has a limit of 12h per book which they should more clearly say. Overall it’s a decent app but I’m going back to bookplayer which is completely free due to the above 2 issues.
I use this to learn Morse code. I have an app that generates Morse and then I record it into MP3 files. It’s a snap to load these files and to this app and then use this to listen. I record Gutenberg open source books.
I’m glad I found this app. It’s great for audiobooks and ebooks. Easy to add books to the app
If you need an easy way to assemble mp3’s into a usable audiobook format look no further. This application If incredible, so many features and so easy to use. Plus it works with Apple Car Play! What more could you ask for?
Great for moving audiobooks into my iPhone. Web interface makes it so easy.
Cant ask for a better player Best I have Ever used !
Transfer over wifi stopped working
The idea of MP3 Audiobook Player is great, except the performance doesn’t match the concept. I was only able to download one book per IOS device. I could not load more than one audiobook. I bought the pro version for an additional $4.99. But guess what no change. It talks about removing restrictions, I do not know what that means restrictions because nothing is different. I sent a request to the Support email address, no answer. I am very unhappy with this program. I am saddened to give this negative review, but I am also frustrated because the program is not doing what it says it will do.
Works wonderfully. Just discovered I can rip long YouTube podcasts into an offline audio book directly. Only thing I wish was that you could reorder chapters and files as one is out of order with no way to change it.
Use it all the time. Down load from libraries
This is, without a doubt, one of the best apps I’ve ever used! I’ve watched this grow from a simple MP3 player app that was a little buggy at times to one of the best audiobook apps that’s available. It’s certainly better than the one provided by Apple. And don’t let the name fool you. It plays much more than just MP3s. It’s got everything a person could want in an audiobook app. Chapter markings and notes, an equalizer to get the sound just right, a much easier way to upload books than Apple app ever offered. This thing’s got it all! It’s so flexible that it can even play .flac files, some thing every Apple audio program refuses to do. I don’t know what I paid for the “professional” app. Maybe $5? Whatever the price, it was well worth it! Highly recommend it!
I find it difficult to use Apple music or Apple Books to listen to my own audiobooks. MP3Audiobooks is an easy, full-features player. I use a laptop to side load the MP3s onto the phone. Very nice.
I love this audio player for all my online class audios. It’s super easy to load the mp3s. And I love the flexibility of listening at different speeds, I timer function is great.
I've used this app for over 700 hours and it continues to surprise me with how well it works. From the Webdav network transfer to the listening experience, it works exactly - or better than I would hope.
Works great but they constantly try to recharge you for the lifetime fee. It won’t work until you pay again and again. The notice says that if you paid before you will not be charged again but then comes the notice from Apple that you have been charged again. Not a lot of money but really annoying to be lied to over and over.
I couldn’t figure out how to import files stored on my iPhone.
Incredable app. I am very picky about these type of apps & everything must be in order. This has everything I need. Plays beautifully, nice and smooth. Just an all-around excellent app. i've been using it for years. finally a developer who knows what they're doing.
The absolute best!
I use this app for audiobooks and it works great.
I love this app for many reasons. I don’t use it for general music. I have too much. I use it for books (duh), guided meditations and solfeggio healing tracks. I set up my list using bk, med, and snd in the title as the sort item so I can see each media form in its own space/order. I would give this app 4.5 stars if I could. The only thing I would like to see is to have the ability to hit “replay” as an option.
