The Best Player for AudioBookshelf!

The only thing that would make this app even better would be adding Apple Watch support for offline listing when I don’t bring my phone with me. I’d gladly pay a few dollars more for the option of taking my books with me on my watch.

This app is game changing

I have been a long time user/tester for the “official” ABS app and compared to it, ShelfPlayer is about 100 years ahead of it. Actual working Siri integration, a working CarPlay implementation, and just a clean easy to navigate UI.

Spend the few bucks, you will never look back!

Awesome work!!!

I just wish I had found your app a bit sooner. Definitely a sold app if you want to move over to Audiobookshelf from other selfhosting options (like Plex who ended Podcast support no sooner than a few years after starting it).

Super impressed & CarPlay works!

I downloaded this yesterday and am super impressed! It has a very nice looking interface that is both pleasant to look at and extremely functional. Though a relatively small thing, I particularly like the more books by author and more books in the series that show up under a a book. Also, I can’t over state how exciting it is to have real CarPlay support for books from Audiobookshelf. Add on that this app is truly open source and it’s pretty hard to beat. I highly recommend this app… and already have done so to friends.

Awesome

Absolutely awesome app and a thank you to the developer. This works effortlessly with audiobookshelf on my synology, accessing it via my iPhone and iPad. Just what I needed. Thank you.

Thoroughly Satisfied

I’m very happy with this app! It does exactly what I need it to, seamlessly connects to my Audiobookshelf server, and allows for offline listening.

The developer has done a fantastic job with this one and appears to respond quickly when users need help.

Can I use Chinese?

Response from developer

I don’t speak Chinese but if you want to contribute translations take a look at https://github.com/rasmuslos/ShelfPlayer?tab=readme-ov-file#licensing--contributing I might also added Chinese translations in the future, but then I will have to find someone that I can pay to translate for me.

Brilliant! Impressive and elegant app.

I’m so impressed how well put together and smooth and full-featured this app is. It is easier to use and more stable and better integrated into iOS than Patreon or Stitcher or even Apple’s own podcast app. It’s working beautifully with my AudioBookShelf server and I couldn’t be happier with it. Amazing work!!

Beautiful UI, works great too

Awesome client for audiobookshelf. Very clean and beautiful UI, and works as expected.
I would love to see an iPad version too.

Podcast full support

The audiobooks section is great. However. The podcast options are mostly only available on the app, not much on the carplay. Way way better than the app audiobookshelf app.
