Removed Google drive support
I’m disappointed to see that Google Drive support was removed. I tried loading audiobooks via the Files workaround as recommended, but it wouldn’t let me select m4b files to import. 5/5 stars otherwise.
Love this app
I love this app. It makes it so easy to download audiobooks from my Google cloud. I love how it saves the place of my audiobooks as well. On to the feedback: I wish that there was a way to add a title to the bookmarks. This would help to take notes at certain sections of the book that you want to come back to instead of having to look through your bookmarks and guess based on the timestamp.
So perfect.
Just what we’re all looking for. This should be native to iOS. One time payment. Excellent work 👊🏼
No Drive, no m4b support
Can't connect to Google Drive, so I downloaded it to Files on iOS. Can't select any .m4b files despite the app claiming it can.
Exactly what I needed
If you have your own audio book library stored locally or in iCloud then this is the right app for you. Books import seamlessly with full tracks and artwork.
Perfect Little App — Tremendous Value
It’s a real pain to import downloaded audiobooks into the default Apple Books app, you have to plug your iPhone into your Mac and manually import them. Well not anymore. This beautiful little app default links to iCloud and downloading them is just one touch, voila. So worth the money. 10/10 would buy again.
Playlists please
I do love this app and use it all the time for my audiobooks. It is an excellent app and I very much recommend it. The only thing that I would like to see is some sort of playlist or category management. I often am listening to several types of audiobooks -listening to what my kids are reading, listening to a fiction book on my own, listening to a non-fiction book. If I could create playlist or manage the organization in someway that it would be easy for me to I have a subset of books to look at when I need a new nonfiction or fiction or young adult book.
