Ratings and reviews

Simple, functional and without many of the flaws other apps have. Overall very impressed Pros Doesn't forget where you were in an audio file even if your battery dies. VERY handy if youre playing a 15 hour long single file audio book The snooze feature is brilliant and stops playback after a set amount of time. Very handy if, like me to fall asleep listening to books and don't want to spend ages trying to find your place the next morning Cons These aren't really "faults", and may not bother a lot of people, just things that I think would take this from being "great" to being excellent 1, Have the option to remove the time limit on plugging headphones back in. I listen to ABs in my car, So I would prefer to have the option for it to ALWAYS continue playing no matter how long its been since the headphones/audio lead was plugged in 2. The play widget on the lock screen vanishes when you stop playback, which means to start it again you have to log into the phone. It would be nicer if it just remained there so you can stop and start it as you wish from the lock screen 3. Full width progress/search bar in landscape That's it

This app is simple and amazing to use. You can also export the bookmarks which is very useful. One thing that is missing is an auto timer to switch off the app. Useful for the sleepy books or music. Maybe this could be a request for an update. REWIEW EDITED: yes that worked, the symbol DP was not enough intuitive for me! My bad. I guess know you can add an AI to index the book automatically. (I'm joking but would be amazing)

Very nice interface and great features. I love this app. Two problems I face are: 1. Some times it jitters. I have to rewind 5 seconds and then it plays smooth until it jitters again. 2. I have "resume on replug" option disabled. But still when my Bluetooth headphones are connected, it starts playing automatically without me even knowing. I miss parts of my audio book and have to go through painstaking efforts to find my last known section of book manually.
