Ratings and reviews

The free version was so good, I bought it even though I didn't need the added functionality. The only new functionality I could wish for is a way to chapterize audiobooks that aren't sectioned. even if it is just to create segments that are X minutes apart. bookmarking helps, but the ability to manually add segments would be so much better.

A great lightweight player packed with functionality. Very flexible in its settings like on adjusting the forward/rewind button times. Great to be able to set the narration speed - most audiobooks seem to be narrated at slow speeds. Love the sleep timer. Can be used for all sorts of audio files, not just ebooks. Dark mode supported. Missing a star because the file manager side of it seems totally illogical until the root folder the books are in can be found Using the paid version - well worth it

Update - still absolutely the best. One of those apps that just works, day in day out. It plays audiobooks clearly and accurately, lets you pause them and make bookmarks, doesn't lose your place, and even has a history of other books so you can resume anywhere in your audio book library and listen to multiple books at once. the free version does almost everything I need and had no ads - but I bought the pro version both to support it and because I wanted an equalizer :)
