Beautiful UI, a few missing features
This is THE Audiobookshelf app. It has an absolutely beautiful UI. The official Audiobookshelf mobile app feels cluttered, slow, and old. This app is great, and it mostly works well! There are a few features that I miss from the Audiobookshelf official app that keep me from using this app. Primarily, I wish this app had a slider for fine-tuned control of playback speed instead of a select menu. I like to listen to my audiobooks at occasionally 1.3x or 1.4x speed, but I can not do that with this app. Over all, it's amazing, but the most important part of an audiobook app -- the playback -- is lacking features. With that one feature I'd be sold.
Quite Fantasitc
It is fairly early still in this app’s development, but it’s really great and sure to only get better.
Awesome
Bravo developer, this is perfect
Great for books!
This is great for books and podcasts. However, CarPlay mode for podcasts needs a lot of improvements. New episodes are not displayed. You have to start the podcast in the phone and then continue to listen on CarPlay. No way to see new episodes in CarPlay mode. Also I have noticed that podcasts won’t resume automatically if paused by maps or any other apps. The phone experience is amazing and very polished.
Better than nothing, but needs more usability features
I want to like this app, as I really wanted a solution to work with my audiobookshelf server. The apps worked, but was to hard to deal with a large library of audiobooks. What I wanted was to go to an Author and go to the next book in the Series I was listen to. Problems: 1. No series tab 2. If you go to all books you can collapse series, but cannot search by author, series name else 3. If you go to author tab, the series info does not show, ie. Series name , number or order 4. No sort by date, as that would at least show me which book came first 5. No link back to Series 6. No search/ filter screen to help find book So good start, and if you have a small number of audiobooks you may find this software useful, but for those who have a sizable library you should probably pass for now.
Exactly what I needed
I have my own audiobook server (audiobookshelf) and I was sorely in need of an iOS app to use with it. This app has filled that void. It’s intuitive, easy to use and works great.
Finally a good iOS audiobookshelf client
thank you for making this— it’s perfect
