Best player I’ve found

I’ve been looking for a way to listen to my audiobooks for a while and tried a lot of different apps. This one has been the best by far. I like that it will break files into 15min chapters. And I can upload directly from Google Drive. I’d like to be able to hide the stats at the top and manually reorder my books but that’s a minor thing and doesnt really impact my experience too much.

Impressive features.

So many things I never thought to ask for in a player because I was satisfied with the features I had from the default players. Identifying characters. Recap. Follow along text. Asking questions before I go to book club.
It’s worth switching from the comfortable player you are used to using. This is better.

Wow, thank you so much! Hearing that Bloox has features you hadn’t even thought to ask for is such an amazing compliment. I’m trying to build all the little things that make listening and reading along feel easier and more enjoyable, so I’m really happy that’s coming through. Thanks for taking the time to write this ❤️ And btw, if you have any ideas or requests for feature - I listen to feedback and try to accomodate all reasonable requests - so please - send a feature request from the send feedback button in settings and I'll do my best to make it a reality for you. Thanks again!

Amazing audiobook player

Worth every dollar I didn't pay for it! Has lots of creature comforts like transcription (love that it's on-device!), session stars, good configurability and chapter nav. Especially love that it has CarPlay integration! Thanks so much.

Thanks again, your reviews help the app grow, and for that I'm forever grateful!

Amazing

I really like this app. Pretty much been able to download a lot of books and appreciate the read along feature. 📚

Response from developer

Thank you so much! Really happy to hear you’re enjoying it. The read-along feature is one of the things I use myself all the time, so it’s great to hear it’s useful for others too. Thanks for taking the time to leave a review ❤️

I love it!

I’ve tried a few audiobooks readers and have since deleted them. I’m reading my liberated audiobooks stored in iCloud. For a free app, this has a lot of useful features, including skipping and rewinding (choosing the number of seconds), choosing which chapter to read, bookmarks, etc. I love that I can see the words as the book is read (they’re not always accurate but I get the gist). I love the appearance inside. That’s just a few!

And if Bloox has earned a permanent spot on your phone, your rating and review helps more than you know - so thank you for that!
