Reviews of ShelfPlayer

Great app

Saw some people complaining that it’s $5. This price is absolutely worth it. It’s an open source app that is filling the gap left by another open source project. A one time payment to support this project is entirely reasonable.

This app integrates well into iOS and is regularly updated to improve the UX and maintain functionality with the backend that’s not directly under the maintainer’s control.

Love it

Sometimes presses play instead of “skip 30 seconds back”, touch targets might need some refinement.

Great App. Wish it had a Widget with the play-pause/open-book buttons

I love the app. One thing I thought was missing was the ability to clear the cache, in case I updated the metadata of some book that was currently being played. However, the option is available, it just isn’t visible on the main page. I had to go to the rightmost (search) view, and the settings button was there.

The one feature that I miss vs other audiobook apps like Libro.fm or Audible or podcast apps like Pocketcasts is a widget. I wish it had a widget similar to Pocketcasts, that would take you to the book/podcast if you click on the album artwork, and had a button to play/pause the current book/podcast.
