This app is so great. You can cast to kids devices in their room for bedtime stories. You can listen to audiobooks while you fall asleep without losing your place with the sleep timer. The sleep timer slowly fades away the volume, so it isn't jarring when it turns off. Honestly I can't think of any feature it needs and doesn't have which I can't say about any other app I have. Also the author is quick to respond if you have any bug reports. Can't recommend the full version enough.

I honestly prefer to use this for books I have through audible over the built-in audible player.

An excellent audiobook player for your own audiobooks (MP3 - M4B etc.) Lots of controls to make your listening experience personalized and perfect.

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!

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.
★★☆☆☆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.
