What's New in Book Mower Audiobook Player

3.7.6

September 3, 2018

This app has been updated by Apple to display the Apple Watch app icon. Alright, I'm still working on a major update, but I've found this feature too useful to hold up... Pin Drop/Play: There's a new "push pin" icon on the main screen that creates a "Pin Dropped" bookmark. Once that has been tapped, a "push pin play" icon is available, which will, you guessed it, play from the dropped pin location. Why is this useful? Well, let's say you're done listening to an audiobook, and you hit pause, and put your phone away, but something happens that causes the audiobook to start playing again without you noticing (bluetooth, "pocket dial", etc.). Sometime later, you open the app and discover you're not where you expected, so you have to dig through the bookmarks to find where you last paused. With the Push Pin, whenever you're done listening for a while, you "drop a pin", then it doesn't matter what happens, when you open the app back up, you push the new "push pin play" icon, and you're right back where you left off. Or, perhaps you want a simpler method to create custom bookmarks, without having to wade through the sea of Pause or auto-bookmarks to find the one to customize. Just drop a pin (no need to pause), and customize it later (they're gold colored, so they're easy to find). Or, maybe you want to play a particular section of the audio over and over. Just drop a pin at the start location, and hit the "push pin play" button to get back to it as many times as you like. When you customize a "Pin Dropped" bookmark, a new bookmark is created, so you don't lose your "pin".

User reviews

Unable to purchase

Great app but the worst support. I have sent many emails notifying that I’m not to purchase the paid version. Not a single response.

Any chance of CarPlay?

Love the app, but CarPlay won’t seem to save the player between drives, and restart, instead falling back to the last audio app, music, audible etc.
any chance of cleaning up the CarPlay experience?

Brilliant app

I love this app, Ive tried a few and this is by far the best. It’s so easy to use and has lots of useful customisable features. Best thing is the auto sleep timer. It makes it really easy just having to press one button when I want to play books at night to get back to sleep.

Would not recommend

The app was good but the went down hill fast. Even worse, the creator lashed out at me when I tried to ask for support. They were cranky that more people wouldn't buy and use their app... lashed out at me, one of the ones that did buy and did use. They demanded I give them more money to help make the changes but were hazy on when those changes would appear. Seems like it's become a scam.
