Great
Great and awesome. So easy to use
the best
polished app
Perfekt
Das ist der absolute Wahnsinn.
Die Apple Podcasts-App ist zwar in den vergangenen Jahren etwas besser geworden, aber trotzdem weit weg von gut.
Darum hoste ich Podcasts jetzt selber mit Audiobookshelf.
Aber das eigentlich tolle an dieser Lösung ist diese App hier. Die Möglichkeiten für Einstellungen sind absolut perfekt. Ich werde zB. niemals wieder aus Versehen im Podcast im Sperrbildschirm zurückspringen. Und vieles mehr.

Works perfectly
Simple enough to use and just the right amount of complexity to figure out how to use features I would find useful. I would love it if I were able highlight parts of the book I was reading to come back to later. And I would absolute love and appreciate it if I were able to synch my audiobooks with the pages of the ebook as it plays. Hopefully in the future it will be possible
Also I would absolutely love if there were different intervals for rewinding or better scrub control for audiobooks, still an amazing app even as it is though.

Fantastic app
This app is amazing, what a great job by the dev, thank you!
Beautiful, intuitive, and safe to hand to anyone
I run an Audiobookshelf server used by several friends in their sixties and seventies, and I’m so glad that, with Audiobooth, there’s finally an app I can recommend to them that’s beautiful, intuitive, and reliable.
From its design to its functionality, Audiobooth is a triumph, the type of app that I’d be proud to have made myself (if I knew anything at all about doing so). I must especially commend the obvious care that’s gone into ensuring that the impressive range of customisations available in the app settings never comes at the expense of a clean and well-organised user experience on the home page, or in the library and collection panes.
Yesterday, for example, I set up Audiobooth on a septuagenarian friend’s mobile and quickly found the options necessary to make sure audiobooks download automatically when she starts listening to them; delete themselves from the phone when she finishes; and appear clearly on the home screen (or the downloads folder) in the interim. Easy. My friend was thrilled when I switched on the ‘Your stats’ feature, which allows her to see, at a glance, an overview of her listening activity and select a daily listening goal.
I want to make sure I mention a couple of the other design features that make Audiobooth a joy to use. For example, I love that when I select an audiobook to continue listening to it, the ‘continue listening’ button itself functions as a clean visual progress bar that shows how far I am through the book in question. What a great idea. Similarly, the addition of an activity overview to the ‘Your stats’ page in the style of a GitHub contributions graph is a lovely touch. Both features add clarity without getting in the way of the app’s core function, which is to make it easy for you to listen to audiobooks. That’s outstanding design in my view.
All in all, Audiobooth is an app so satisfying to use that, even though I’ve seldom written app reviews in the past, I wanted to make an effort for this one. If you’re after an Audiobookshelf-compatible app, and you’ve been disappointed by the other offerings on iOS (all of which I’ve tried), then look no further: Audiobooth is the app that will make you feel sorry for people stuck on Audible and glad that such an excellent alternative has finally arrived.
If I had one hope, it’s that Audiobooth doesn’t get too stuffed with features from here, because I think the app’s restraint is part of what makes it so attractive and user-friendly. My compliments to the developer: you’ve really done a terrific job.

Kinda Perfect
If you use Audiobookshelf, then this is the app for you. I’ve tried it on iPhone, MacOS (via iPad app), and Apple Watch. All are just great and I can pick up on one device where I left off on another. The UI is clean, functional, and intuitive. There are a lot of settings that allow you to personalize the app a bit, and again, all are great.
I signed up as a monthly subscriber and I encourage you to do the same to support this incredible app!

Best app there is !,
It’s really good and well made and free! Huge props to the devs!
Amazing!
After buying another app to access my audiobookshelf, and trying this out, it’s better in every way! Thanks!
My best audiobook App ever
It’s free yet incredibly professional—I’m amazed. I have so much respect for the creator; I’m happy to pay for something like this by choice, which is exactly what I did. The app works beautifully as a widget with Docker on my private server—it’s fantastic. Thanks!
Thanks
Thank you so much for making this I was about to roll my own and found I didn’t have to because you all had already done the good work! Glad to see a native solution for Audiobookshelf. Works fine for podcasts too!
Wonderful app
Best audiobookshelf app I found so far - great work!
Very nice!
Amazing. Provides for free, what others charge for. Snappy ui, well balanced between cozy and clean. Useful features like Auto Download
Simply the best AudioBookShelf client
No other client even come close, and the developer keep adding great features and fix bugs. Thank you!
终于支持简中了
给一个大大的赞👍
Richtig gut!
Ich habe schon richtig viele Apps für Audiobookshelf ausprobiert, aber diese ist einfach Perfekt!!!
版本更新以后完全无法使用
软件打开就闪退
It just works.
I’ll be brutally honest. I’ve not used any other app out there. I run my own audiobook server and this was the first one I tried and works out of the ‘box’ with it and I’m happy not to fudge around trying to find how things need to run or work around issues.
It just works and the super simple for me.

Pretty decent, just don’t use the time function
The time function is broken. At the end of a chapter l, if enabled, it will auto complete the book for you every time on any book. Very annoying, but works otherwise
Amazing Quailty
This app is amazing and I have really enjoyed using it
