Ratings and reviews

Works pretty well overall, works well enough that I ended up buying it instead of downloading a free APK offline, so if that is any indication as to the quality and performance then there ya go. Only have a few minor complaints. The app can be hella confusing to navigate around sometimes, and the progress bar that shows in the notification drawer isn't very reliable. But everyone else is spot on. Equalizer works good too; surprisingly well actually. Overall well done.

Clean, simple, functional app for audiobooks. Everything you need, nothing you don't. The motion activated auto-sleep timer is a reallynice touch. you can set it that if your phone is not touched for a certain amount of time, it will play a beep, and then pause playback. Or just nudge your phone to resume playing. The motion of a car or walking is enough to keep it active, its a great feature that works as intended. No ads, no unneceaary permissions either.

I needed to find an app to substitute for BBC I Player which is being discontinued ' outside the UK ', mainly to rewind 10 seconds when listening to podcasts. While it is not as good as the BBC's own app , this is the first one I looked at and has lots of easy to use features and the interface is intuitive. Listening to an audio download from the player in Google's mobile browser gives you no options other than play, pause and skip. This app does the job for me.
