I have commitment issues, but not to this app
When I installed this app back in April, it was pretty barebones and a little buggy, but Leo’s continued development efforts are really bringing out the best in his product. It’s stable, it’s quick, and it is easy to use. The Audiobookshelf iOS app will eventually come out, but as of this moment, I don’t see why I would switch to it.
Keep it up, Leo!Guitarer09
Very good already
Had a need for something that uses audiobook shelf and works with CarPlay. This fits the bill perfectly outside of the typical CarPlay audio issues. Since the latest update that syncs progress with server it’s almost perfect as I use audiobook shelf on my computer. Only thing missing is multiple servers, but I see that’s it’s requested on the GitHub roadmap. Overall very worth the price for the future potential.Zichan
Great alternative to main Emby app
I loaded this app as part of a move off Audible and to self hosted content. The app has been great and is easily navigated. I stayed with Audible for so long because of its ease of use. This is a great replacement.NZiel86
