### 1/5 — Not usable

*2023-02-08, version 2.1*

This app is not usable without a purchase. Literally the only thing that works is the default daffodils by Wordsworth. Bit of a con.

### 1/5 — Rip off

*2022-08-06, version 2.1*

I upgraded It’s not acknowledged I get a page where buttons don’t work and there are no working features Completely useless waste of toile and money

### 1/5 — Can't open files from the Files App

*2022-07-31*

It doesn't work on my iPad.

### 5/5 — Perfect with no fluff

*2021-01-14*

If you’re looking for an audio book player that just works and plays books, this is it. It’s very simple so that might be a turnoff for some. It has chapter select, bookmark and saves your spot. Can’t ask for more. Aside from adding files to IOS being unreasonably contrived, adding files to this app works amazingly.

### 1/5 — Don’t download it

*2020-10-27*

Terrible app! No information and confusing!

### 1/5 — Ripped off

*2020-10-19, version 2.1*

Ripped off on this app.

### 1/5 — Upset

*2020-03-07*

HORRIBLE DONT GET THIS APP!!!!!

### 1/5 — No user help

*2020-02-12, version 2*

I do not use a Mac so near impossible to upload a book.  No help in either the app or internet so had to give up.  The developer assumes we all use Apple Macs, are familiar with icloud etc.
Can you perhaps put simple instructions for someone who uses windows and ipad/iphone but not a tecky geek please.  
I have tried, asked friends who also tried but all to no avail ☹️☹️

### 1/5 — Needs bug fixes

*2019-12-03*

This app used to be great but now it just keeps shutting down every time I try to play an audio book and the last update was a year ago so I’ll have to look for another app instead ☹️

### 5/5 — Greqt

*2019-07-04, version 2*

Such a great app, i can pause and play the last audiobook, this might me the best audiobook app on the AppStore
