### 5/5 — Best there is!!

*2026-07-09*

Great app does everything so well only thing is I wish I could group books by series or something. I have a lot of books.

### 5/5 — Works Great!

*2026-04-29*

Does what you would expect. Has very similar controls compared to Libby or Audible, and it has no ads! Also, it works great for audiobooks separated by chapter in a folder of mp3 files

### 5/5 — Good

*2026-01-20*

I was using the Novelwave player for a while. I like how that app shows book covers in the list view, and the items can be manually sorted and put in folders, and there's bulk import, and the sleep timer can be set to end of chapter. Still, I prefer listening to audiobooks with this one because pause/resume is more reliable and I think the audio quality is great and I like its design.

Two days later. Have switched to this app and deleted the other one. This is the best. Not looking back.

Sometime later:
I'm too lazy to write a new review. Some of my wishes have been granted. Thank you!

### 3/5 — Простенький плеер

*2025-11-14*

•При импорте книги в мп3 берет название из случайной главы(файла) 
•Поменять название или обложку нельзя 
•Показывает общую длительность книги, но не главы отдельно. •Перемотка соотвественно тоже по общему таймлайну книги. Хочется видеть продолжительность главы, особенно используя таймер сна по концу главы
•Начинает воспроизведение сразу после запуска, хотелось бы настраивать да/нет. 
Кароче, добавить бы чуть чуть функционала и кастомизации, и можно будет пользоваться. Надеюсь будут обновления, а пока что я дальше в поисках подходящего плеера

### 5/5 — Nearly Perfect

*2025-02-21*

A sleep timer, and book covers shown in the books section is all this app need.

### 5/5 — Honestly, nearly perfect

*2025-02-18*

Whoever said this needs to be paid, agreed. Charge $0.99 if it’s not about the money, or add banner ads. But this is amazing. My only request is a sleep timer!

### 4/5 — Great app

*2025-01-24*

Love the simplicity and fact that it doesn’t collect any data. Works very well. Only request I would have is a sleep timer.
