  • 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.

    Hey Bibin, thank you for your Feedback! I'm actively working on the CarPlay implementation! The bug that caused podcasts not to resume after interruptions has been fixed with the 1.1.3 update released on Monday :)
  • 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.

    Hey Gilbert, thank you very much for the feedback! Im actively working on many of the things you mentioned, especially better support for series. The books tab does have a search bar that supports searching by author, title, narrator, series and books within a series. You can change the sort mode by tapping the icon with the two opposing arrows in the top right of the books tab, both release and added dates are supported. Audiobooks within a series are sorted by the series order (first to last). If you have any other feedback, questions or suggestions, feel free to reach out at contact@plappa.me.
  • 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
