Ratings and reviews

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 :)

Best audio book player I've ever used. In fact, it's only 1 of 3 apps I've ever paid for from the playstore. You can alter skip distance and it has the most intuitive resume for multiple books. Also, great access to the Android file system, including deleting files. No ads either, even in the free version, although the speed up function is totally worth the price.

I've used a lot of audiobook and podcast apps, and this is so much better than any I've ever used. It's minimalism done right. I really don't need the player screen to have the cover photo, and I just absolutely love the ability to change the skip buttons depending on context. It's amazing that the free version of a $2 app can be better than Audible's app, but hey, this definitely is. Worth the $2 just to support the programmer.
