Voice Audiobook Player

About this app

Annoyed by all the ugly players packed with endless menus and features who distract you from what you want to do: listen to audiobooks?
You just add your main audiobook folder and every folder in there will be recognised as a single book. That keeps your library simple and tidy. Here we go.

What it can:
• Remembers last position
• Adjust playback speed
• Beautiful Material Design
• Day & Night Theme. Don't hurt your eyes!
• Bookmarks
• Android Auto
• Sleep-timer. You don't have to stop the player in the middle of the night.

Voice is free and Open Source. That means, everyone can see what it does. It uses minimal permissions.

Suggestions always welcome!

Ratings and reviews

It was awesome, until a new phone. The features of this app are wonderful: no ads(!), multiple books going at once, add your own bookmarks/save points with descriptions, change speed the book is read, FF & RW, and see artwork for your books if equipped. Why 2 stars? Migrated to new phone and despite adding folder of audiobooks, with the multiple option, the app is stuck asking me to pick a folder for my first book. Tried reinstalling - no dice. Please fix!

Regarding comments about the app timing out, I have been experiencing the same recently. A possible solution follows. After doing it, I just went 45 minutes without interruption, just like the old days. Try the following: Settings > Apps > Voice > Battery > Unrestricted. Mine was set to Restricted, so I'm guessing that was causing the interruptions.

Absolutely what I need for playing non-DRM audiobooks; I typically buy them off Amazon and then use a tool to remove the restrictions so I can play them in any app, and this is exactly perfect for them. Also works well with Android Auto, though iirc that may require allowing unapproved Android Auto apps. It also handles folders of mp3 format audiobooks and the like plenty well.
