Bought for $.99 many years ago and still going strong. There may be better but works for my needs and I have never felt the need to look for or use other player

Best audiobook player I had. Been using it for years, and I hope to use it for many more. Edit: still using it in 2026, still the best app for audiobooks! Thank you, devs!

I downloaded my audible books and started using this app and after a period of time I just went ahead and gave them my money. The full version is absolutely worth it, and it has been an amazing player.
★★☆☆☆Mark W.· Jun 15, 2026
The app requires audiobooks to be in separate folders, even if it's just one audio file - a stupid restriction on usability. The app doesn't automatically add new audiobooks, it has to be done manually - ditto. There are much better audiobooks out there.

Not smart at all. I'm ditching it. No settings, quits app and stops playback when pressing the UI back button - and of course the back button, duh - developer is clearly not interested. Call it whateverware. No doubt he will keep updating it to the latest API but since nothing's changed in years I'd recommend you ditch it too. So long.

Worthless app! I was able to add one book and now nothing I do puts a new book in. I was going to look more into it until I saw it was going to run out of time, it was a trial!
