Great App

There were some bugs early on but this app has finally become one of my favorites. Well done.

Doesn’t sync with iCloud

I purchased this under the impression that it will automatically sync between Apple devices. It does not. Disappointed. Otherwise seems fine

Great app

Love the app, have been using it since the beginning and it’s great to see that is continues to improve over time. The new live transcription is great, would love if it supported Polish as well.

Has Potential

It’s pretty and it has a lot of really cool features but I wish it had direct contact with my iCloud so I could save on storage like it does with most other cloud services

总体还好,有待优化提升

功能挺好,但性能有待优化。书库导入一本有声书,1000+个mp3,每次点开书需要10多秒才能进入

Update paywall blocked useful free features

While I absolutely believe in supporting hardworking devs, forcing payment for basic features in this new update was rather dissatisfying. Previously free features that set this app apart from others, became paywall blocked with the last update. While I am glad I had to opportunity to experience these features and their convenience, now this app is just as limited as every other audiobook app. I am particular about audio organization and metadata and losing those features in this update was disappointing to say the least. Due to the lack of support docs/dev webpage updates, I am cautious of purchasing the lifetime pro purchase because perhaps the features I want access to will no longer be available to lifetime pro members, just like the metadata updates/chapter imports/etc were blocked over night.

Google integration and app support still broken after a month.

No response from their support email.

After buying premium I don’t see any files after connecting my Google Drive, and ‘contact support’ shows a broken page on first tap, then gives me a log file to share on second tap.

Through the library I can try to add a book from Google Drive. M4Bs, an audiobook format, are disabled for some reason. Selecting an mp3 displays a spinner, and it eventually fails.

App looks great otherwise.

Still no background playback on Apple Watch!! Support is not answering

Please fix Apple Watch app not playing in background!! It’s almost useless like this, as the workout app needs to be in foreground when using Apple Watch standalone while running. Will give 5 stars once this issue gets recognized and addressed, support is not answering..

很好

终于找到一个能支持5个G容量音频文件播放的软件,但是其它连接方式能链接成功但是无法播放,audiobook和谷歌云盘都能链接但不能看到文件

Great Audiobook App

If you want an app to play your own audiobooks, this is it. The app has bookmarks with notes, Apple watch, easy import options, and reading stats. The app is intuitive to navigate and has a nice UI.

Top of the rock !

This is THE app for audio book. Simple with many informations / stats / offline gestion, ergonomic, beautifull. Now Abookio is my single audiobook app.

Thanks for your work!

The Calamity Club

Wonderful narration

Most slept on audiobook player

All around banger audiobook player. Literally every other audiobook player has a catch/flaw in some way… not this app. It has a clean UI, is feature rich, has standalone apple watch playback with 2-way automatic sync, and much more. The developer seems invested and is shipping updates which is reassuring. Pricing is also extremely fair and reasonable. Keep crushing it dev!

Doesn’t work anymore

Too bad, I had purchased pro and was really happy. Unfortunately the app stopped working for me and my support request wasn’t replied to.

Not perfect

Seems nice at first but it loses listening position between sessions and doesn’t have a CarPlay open to open the app while driving. Updating to say these issue are still present months later.

Powerful App

I love how much I can do to personalize my audiobook listening experience. I especially love how well it connects to audiobookshelf, with the newest update (updates are super regular!) my data will be synching both ways. I love the how reading speed adjustment has small increments and the speed doesn’t have the funkiness I hear on other apps. And now the Apple Watch app?! It just keeps getting better.

If you’re on the fence, I say just download it and give it a try for yourself!

Looks decent for managing books in cloud storage, not great with self hosted services

I’ve been trying to find the ultimate customizable audiobookshelf client app and have tried both the official one and Plappa.

I was excited to try out this app with my ABS installation but on launch the app did not support SSO. That was fine, but it would be nice if it was explicitly said in the documentation. I reached out to the developer asking if it was a planned feature and it took over a month and two more emails to get a response.

Eventually the update supporting SSO authentication in ABS came out and it didn’t work for me. I once again reached out asking if there was something I was missing like a mobile redirect url for ABS’s SSO settings because again, the documentation for this integration does not exist. It has been over a month and I have not gotten a response.

I’m starting to give up hope I will ever be able to try this app and will have just wasted money to try a feature that doesn’t work from a dev that doesn’t respond.

Buggy, has issued

Problems fetching from
jellyfin, with the paid add-on. Unreliable and buggy.

Looks amazing but doesn’t work

I’ve tried adding my plex server multiple times and it wont work. After successfully signing in, I get red text saying it appears my internet connection is offline, but Prologue works just fine. I will update my review if this is fixed.
