This sounded like exactly what I was looking for, a simple, streamlined way to play my audiobooks. Unfortunately, there was no indication before purchase that it would not play audiobooks already on my device. Lots of ways to import audiobooks into the app, none of which would work for me. I have a few hundred audiobooks already on my iPod touch, which I had to download directly from Audible. iTunes, Copytrans etc., wouldn’t import them to my iPod, even though I purchased and owned all of them. I was hoping this app would let me play them outside audible. It doesn’t, and a request sent to the app creator seeking a way to use this app has gone unanswered. Seems like a very nice app if you want to import your books into the app the way the app wants you to, but if you’re looking for a clean, unbloated app to simply play audiobooks already on your device, this isn’t it.

Update 2: last update fixed the fuzzy cover images. Still has minor layout bugs but refreshing booklist fixes it. Not a biggie. This app is improving day by day. Worth the price as is though. Important things all work fine. Just cosmetic things are left as far as I can tell. I’ve found that rather than loading a list of files, it works better if the files are in a folder and you just add the folder. Seems to work smoother that way. Update: Updated rating. The last release seems to have corrected the issue with Finder file loading I referenced below. You still need to be patient when loading books since there is no progress bar as it loads and assembles the files into one book. Works well enough but you have to give it a little time. Also found the Cover art very fuzzy even when a file works crisply in other players. Trivial but annoying. Lastly the round icon below the play/pause button doesn’t appear to do anything on my phone. Not documented but I’d like to know it’s purpose. Note I have only used with m4b files so far. ————— Loading via airdrop is ok. Loading via Finder in Catalina just doesn’t work well. May have worked in iTunes but file load in the Catalina’s Finder iTunes replacement just doesn’t work reliably. Also all the help files are for the developers older MP3 player app which really confuses the new user because all help just f doesn’t apply to this app. The app could be quite good but all these issues need to be cleaned up.

Does just what it says it does, good value, and stable! Love the fact it can download from the web as well!
