Ratings and reviews

Perfect audiobook player. Thank you for making it FOSS. Just one issue: In some audiobooks there's an issue where in long chapters, the seek bar doesn't match the actual progress of the chapter. So if I paused playback and resume right after, it's starts later in the chapter. If I didn't pause, the progress bar goes to the end but the chapter still isn't over. For example the chapter is 50min, it goes for around 51:00. If I paused and resumed at that point, the player jumps to the next chapter.

Perfect app? Maybe not the best on earth, but limitations exist in all things. This is by far the best free audiobook file player available. It has all of the necessary features including a feature I REALLY wish Audible had: auto rewind on pause. Playback speed adjustment, audio boost, bookmarks, custom directories, the whole 9. Can't really get much better. Oh, and it's ad free.

This is the best app for audiobooks, period. I would just like to point out one thing, it would look better if the android navigation bar was not black and followed the theme color like in many other apps nowadays. Other than that another feature I'd like to see added is the ability to group audiobooks into folders/categories/tags.

What's new

In the language of updates, and code being refined,
Comes an update note, in verse to be signed.

First, for the chapter mark parsing so keen,
Fixed another edge case, now smoothly seen.

Added a feature, exciting and new,
Search for the covers, in color or hue.

Lastly, to Samsung users, a word of amend,
Fixed audiobooks not being read, we promise to mend.

So update your app, dear users, don't delay,
For the Voice Android Audiobook Player, gets better each day.
