I was hoping It'd work
But it doesn't work, I woke up at 2 am with books and podcasts playing anyway
Really like it
Easy to use app. Love the fact that it's only$.99. Although my credit card hasn't been charged yet but hey im able to listen to my books with arguing with an app.
SUGGESTION
It would be great that when you hit play, after pausing, that the audiobook has been rewound a couple of seconds. That way it's not paused in the middle of a word and you don't have to rewind it automatically. I've seen that feature on some other audio apps, so please add that. Thank you. Like the app a lot and use it a lot.

Excellent
First class audiobook player. Excellent bookmarking and very useful 30 and 60 sec rewind and fast forward. Plus many other features. Highly recommended.
A, much appreciated, replacement for what iBooks player should be if Steve weren't dead.
Great interface. Easy to use and reliable replacement for playing iTunes Store Audiobooks - advanced features with simple big-button controls! I don't fall asleep without it. Thanks!
Muli audiobook player
Only problem I have is the app unable to remember the last place it was.
Otherwise it's a great player.

No playlists
Contrary to the app description, this app does not appear to support playlists, and (like many similar apps) requires audio filed to be 'added' into the app before they can be played. At present, the only app I know of that does support playlists, and doesn't require 'adding', is 'Audiobook Browser', but the latter app unfortunately has some limitations, like only playing a single file at a time (therefore requiring interaction with the app via the screen to move onto the next item in the playlist).

Complete rubbish
Does not recognise ANY of the audiobooks on my device - m4a or mp3. I try to add a book and a search window comes up - type in a title - nothing. What a strange way to earn 99c or whatever it cost me.
works great, except when it doesn't
I would give it 5 stars, but it only works for a couple days and then stops working (just goes to a black screen and eventually back to the home screen). I may be my old-ish hardware, but it is the only app I have that does this.
Nice!
Great free app with a couple of things that could be improved on but for the most part it's awesome. Any non Audible or iTunes audiobooks can be played and the app remembers where you left off if you jump between audiobooks..
App is on the right way!!
The App is pretty close to what I was looking for for a long time! So far best what I've found.
What I value:
1. Function of increasing & decreasing playing speed.
2. Skipping back and forth (note I mentioned back at first) and the adjustment/customisation of skipping back function
3. Zoom loop to set the track to desired place and the display which shows the track seconds movement
What I would love to see in further updates:
1. When a track is playing and I reopen the app (means app is running in background, track is playing) the app pauses the track. Thats what I most dislike.
2. In settings, title of functions are not very clear chosen, I don't get the feeling I know that to expect when I turn on/off a function.
3. In look screen, I'm really missing the track time line (like it does when track is running through iPhone native music player); and a picture of the track (which as well appears in the middle of the screen on iPhone native music player).
I hope that helps for further improvements.

Good
Initial impressions are very good. It really could do with a bookmark feature mind.
Great player
After trying probably 10 other apps that claimed to do it, this is the only player I have found that goes over 2x playback speed without skipping. Fantastic, thanks!
Solves iOS’ huge fail of not recognizing chapters
#1 problem solved, 5 stars just for that.

Very Good - well worth the money
This is a much better player than the default iPhone player. I like that I can skip forward or backward by a certain number of seconds or minutes. I also like that I can adjust how large those skips are.
Unfortunately, it seems to forget where I am in the book if I go back to the library to listen to something else then return.
A great additional feature would be to be able to save a list if bookmarks for each book, not just current position. That way I can return to favourite bits when I want to.

bookmarking doesnt work
annoyed that i paid for this. My frustration was with the stock media player that always reset or didnt remember where i was with audfiobooks when i switched to music so i bought this app since it is supposed to remember where you were. It doesnt and sometimes resets itself to random spots in the story. So basically i spent money for an app that doesnt actually do what it is supposed to. I do wonder if this is something to do with bluetooth effects though

User interface needs work
I had to look hard to find a audiobook player that would work in the car - ie a large play/pause button.
Things to fix:
- move the skip buttons away from the play/pause. If you touch them accidentally, your skip hours of your book.
- turn off the screen when not in use
- get rid of the skip buttons on the lock screen while listening. You touch those and there goes another few hours of the book.

Awesome App!
The adjustable reading speed for audiobooks works great for studying, especially when you need to slow something down to take notes
Incredible advanced features
Awesome app. Very detailed and full of features found nowhere else. Even a dead man's switch to make it pause when you fall asleep. How clever!
Wish: load all parts of a book at one rather than individually.

Rubbish
Doesn't work. Doesn't read mp3s off my library and quits shortly after launch.
