Decent

I like the layout and the simplicity of the app, I wish it could play .m4b and that it would pull the cover art from the files I uploaded

not well thought out

so the add book feature lets you upload a single audio file, but the vast majority of books out there are a folder with hundreds of mp3s in them. so bad

Fails at uploading book

Tried a couple of times to upload a book, failed every time so gave up and deleted the app.
