  • Doesn’t work at all

    Decided to try this app as an alternative to prologue since prologue does not recognize book chapters in my m4b files. This app connected to my Plex library with no issues and finds the books and also chapters. However, it will not play any book and just says encountered and error please try again.

  • Fails to load 9 times out of 10

    Just download Prologue and save yourself the hassle.
  • Low quality compared to Prologue

    Shouldn’t be a subscription app. Requires no infrastructure and has no updates in 8 months. Abandonware.
  • Potential to be great but…

    I’ve had high hopes for Bookcamp since I learned about it a year back when looking for a good app to play my audiobooks from Plex on. I was bummed to find out there were major errors that didn’t allow the books to play, so I had to revert back to my old app. I really love the sleek look of Bookcamp and kept checking back for updates. Found out today there was an update 5 months ago and redownloaded to check to see if it was any better. The great news is, my books load now and start fairly quickly! The potential dealbreaker now though, is there isn’t a way to see info about a book, when you click into it it just plays. There also seems to be some issues with the main login page, as when I didn’t type anything and just submitted I got an object/object error.
    I want to encourage the developer(s) to keep refining this app, once everything is stable and smooth I can promise the subscription fee will be more palatable to consumers.

  • Abandonware

    This app has essentially been abandoned since release with the creator investing all of their time on the Android version. The one iOS has is still awful and just doesn’t work.

    The subscription is solely to sync your playback location which is so limited in this space that it frankly isn’t worth the money. If you’ve got your own audiobooks and the knowledge to run a server, you’re better off with Audiobookshelf by a long shot.

  • Broken

    Shows api error. Stopped working a few days ago. My plex is fine, works with Plexamp
  • Not free

    This app is not free and requires a monthly or yearly subscription. Sticking with Prologue as it only has a one-time fee.
  • Likely a scam

    They ask for your email then ask for a subscription. There is no free functionality at all, I don’t understand why Apple would allow this app to advertise itself as free.
  • Can't link to my Plex library

    Foloowed all the instructions but it says I have no Audiobooks libarray...when I do.
  • Paid / subscription

    Don’t know why this shows up as free. It has no free component. There is no way to try it out without signing up and paying a subscription fee.
