VPN Tunnel Connection Issues
After I updated to 1.2.8 I couldn’t access my library through my VPN even though the VPN didn’t was connected. I tried to email my problem (so I didn’t have to create a whole new account on git), but it was kicked back as undeliverable. Unfortunately, leaving this review here with hopes of it being fixed quickly.

I’m so sorry you’re experiencing this. Let’s look into it. Please send the details of your issue, along with the logs from the about screen to hello@audrabooks.app.
The best ABS app for iOS
This app is awesome. It supports custom headers so you can do token based auth if you want, and it does both books and audiobooks. There’s no other iOS app that does all of this. Highly recommended!
Only good ebook support app
I bought this app for ebook support. It has a lot of nice support for ebooks just a few nitpicky things for a better ux experience.
- Continuous scroll works till the end of the chapter then you swipe. I keep swiping to two chapters ahead
- Home Screen won’t update with current reads or continue the series. Takes a while to get back to my book I’ve been reading.
- Show my downloaded books. I know my in progress books are there but I can’t see them. Would like to know when something is downloaded and be able to access them.
Otherwise excellent app!!

So much promise
It’s the best there is. But it’s got some bugs. The most painful is hard to describe. When trying to use the app while in airplane mode, sometimes the chapter view disappears. Progress gets forgotten, and downloaded content becomes hard to find. At first it works, but (like on long flights) when you say close the app and try to reopen it, things go sideways. Hopefully these offline inconsistencies get fixed. My expectation would be that the app just works like normal in offline mode, maybe with non-downloaded but cached artwork dimmed. Basic functionality and progress and ui consistency while in offline mode would be the place to start though. If i could donate more I would. Please don’t let the dev fire die

ebooks
I bought the lifetime pass for ebook support but it’s way too finicky. The continuous scroll works until the end of a chapter then you still have to swipe right to go to the next chapter. Clicking a chapter on ToC keeps closing the ebook so I have to turn the page until I catch up where I left off on the audiobook.
Otherwise the UI looks nice and clean and the audiobooks work flawlessly so far.
Update: thanks for the quick fix, I can confirm the swiping at the end of chapters is not on the developers end.
I’ve update my review to 5 stars.
Thank you!

Thanks for your support. The TOC bug is now fixed. Scrolling to the end of the chapter is something we can look at, but likely is how the third party library handles them.

It’s good but needs work
The app drops your login arbitrarily and whatever downloads you had disappear.
Response from developer
This was fixed a few releases ago. Let me know if you’re still having issues.
Awesome App
I’ve tried several and I find this to have the cleanest UI. Glad I found this app.

Thank you very much!
Nice Ebook reader for ABS
That app seems to need a fair bit of further development before it’s ready for every day use.
Nice Ebook reader for ABS. But the app still has its bugs, recently read books don’t show up for ebooks.
The TOC tab in the ebook just closes the book.
It downs show a continue reading ebook section.
I don’t see an option to download ebooks. I have some very large ebooks.
You also can’t select author or narrator of the book to see their other books.
I have messaged the app builder without getting a response. I am a paid pro user.

Good start
App is a good start on a Audiobookshelf Client.
The home isn’t loading properly for me. I’ve validated with other clients it should load fine. Only a single book shows.

Podcast support
Hello, I bought the lifetime pass, but I am disappointed to see that this app has poor podcast support in ABS. When I click on one of my podcasts, it provides no ability to browse and select and episode.
Response from developer
Podcast support is now available!
