User reviews

Nice on iOS but CarPlay has room for improvement

I‘m a heavy CarPlay user. The app has improved in that manner. To be more precise, it is almost indistinguishable from Plappas CarPlay UI. However, the watch status/progress is missing, a key functionality.

Response from developer

Thanks for the feedback! I've made a lot of CarPlay improvements since April, and the latest version adds even more, including a new Library tab. Please give it another try, and if podcasts still don't show up, feel free to join the Discord or open an issue on GitHub.

So good

This app is unbelievably good.

Every feature is incredible

You’ve done an incredible job with this app. The read along feature and the take a photo of a page in the book feature is incredible, they’re both things that I felt like should exist, and just happened to find while using this app. Deleted all the other apps because they were “pay to use” pretty much, but happily going to tip for how well made this app is. Great clean UI design, snappy, and WORKS.

The power of FOSS

THIS is what all apps should aspire to be. Simple, elegant, intuitive, blazing fast, no BS, robust, feature rich, no data collected, etc.
You can tell this app was made with love and not greed. Ironically, this will get me to donate to the project. Great job dev team!

Perfect

I’m glad I kept epubs in the same folder in my audiobookshelf library… the Read along feature is absolute perfection. Helps beat Reddit/news doomscrolling addiction too.
