Ratings and reviews

Good App. It does what I hoped for: slowing down the audio without distortung it. Also, a surprisingly high number of options. Good value for money! Minor issue: It considers files in a sub-folder as one complete audiobook, I found no option to change that. But adding this folder as a source dir adds each single file as a book, problem solved. Minor issue: I'd wish for a UI which feels more modern (think Audible). The look and feel is a bit too much on the nerdy side of things.

Hey, I only had a short window of time to review this app. So far I was happy with another audiobooks player with a very simple and clean UI. Unfortunately that one is lacking Chromecast support which is why I tried out Listen. From what I saw it is a fine audiobook player with the aforementioned lack of Chromecast support. I requested a refund. If you ever plan on implementing that feature I'll happily return.

I have used this app for some eight years now and listened to tens of thousands of hours with it. I take my audiobooks very seriously. Once going so far as to decline a job offer because they would not give me an Android phone and there are no good audiobook apps on iPhone. This app is perfect and it is usually rock solid. Once in a while there is a minor bug but so far they have always been fixed within a couple of weeks.
