Great augmentation for Plex. Best in class design. Needs Bookmarks.
Beautiful design. Does what it says. Does it well. Great augmentation for Plex. For context: I am moving over from the Bound App (and several other prior). I listen to a dozen or two audiobooks each year on top of hundreds of hours of podcasts in Overcast. The only glaring absence this app is bookmarks: if I fall asleep listening to an audiobook, bookmarks are a huge help in finding the point I last recall. If it could pull sleep data from Apple Health to automatically mark where I likely fell asleep I’d find some way to give this app six stars. Voice Boost EQ feature produces some audio clipping on well-mastered books, but is helpful for lesser sources. I understand good voice boost algorithms are a major undertaking in audio processing, so I’m still glad a simple EQ fix is offered. It’d be great if time skipping buttons were smart enough to increase the skipping interval with repeated taps to allow faster search (like Overcast). Still, I’m aware of no other audiobook app with this feature, so it’s not a relative shortcoming. Five stars for this app, because grade inflation is real, and this app deserves notice. Insta-buy for me, and I plan to throw in a tip with each book I finish.

Phenomenal app!
I never bother to write reviews for apps generally unless they’re awful. This is the literal opposite of that. This app is the perfect plex based audiobook experience. Between time left in book actually being listed to consider me listening at faster than 1x speed, a full history of when I listened and to where (I listen to books when nodding off in bed and sometimes lose track of my place if metadata isn’t top notch.) I also love being able to download the books I’m listening to as well. All in all, awesome experience anyone that doesn’t give this 5/5 has no brain.

Excellence executed beautifully
The app is very nicely done. It’s among my favorite apps to use. I’m usually listening to audiobooks more often than anything else. Managing them through iTunes has been my go to forever, and it was annoying that my Plex server handled audiobooks so poorly. this app solves that pain point just like Overcast and Apollo solve the podcasts and reddit pain points. The developer has and continues to do a really good job trying to make the app feel as native and intuitive to use as possible. The whole app and UX is beautifully executed. I really enjoy using the app.
