Been waiting for exactly this!
I very rarely write reviews, but I felt compelled to for this app because it is so exactly what I’ve been waiting for! I have a number of audiobooks in mp3 that I previously could only listen to as “songs” - very annoying, as song players don’t keep your place or allow speed adjustment, etc etc. Here is finally an app w all the great audiobook player features one could wish for, and it has a free version! The player couldn’t be simpler to use (so easy to upload one’s books!), and the interface is clean and pleasant (no ads smeared all over the place, despite it being free). I’m upgrading to the paid version, just b/c I want to support the company that made such a great product. Keep up the good work!

This app is changing my life!
I usually don’t write reviews so this is a big deal. I love listening to audiobooks whenever I can, when I’m driving, washing the dishes, cleaning the house, so I go through a lot of books. But audible wasn’t an option for me because it’s too expensive. Finding this app was like striking gold for me. I am so grateful to the developer beyond words. If you’re ever looking for a way to make this app even better, might I suggest creating an option to edit the titles within the app? Also being able to sort books in bulk would make this app even greater than it already is. Thank you so much for making my world a better place. Keep up the great work!

Best app for listening to audiobooks imported from Google drive
I had an audiobook MP3 from Google drive that I could not get to play in iTunes or 4 other audiobook apps. This one is the only one that would actually continuously play the files in order. The sound is good and it remembers my place even when I close the app. My only confusion is that there is a delay after selecting the book from Google drive before it begins to download. So I didn’t know that it was working. I wish it would give a status report that says please be patient while files are loaded for those like me that are technically challenged.
