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

Пользовательский опыт

Умное приложение оказалось глупым. Я скачиваю книги с пк, затем перегружаю на телефон, с телефона импорт в приложение, а у приложения нет функции выбрать папку или выбрать несколько глав. Предлагает мне по одной главе импортировать? Спасибо найду другое

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

Отличное приложение

Отличное приложение , аудиокниги загружаются. Не понимаю от куда негативные отзывы, надо же хоть чуть вникнуть в приложение.
