### 1/5 — App links to my plex account but will not play files on my iPhone

*2025-11-21*

I tried everything and cannot get it to work on my iPhone but app works on my Hiby R4.  Functionally the same as prologue but $3/month more and has more bugs.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2025-05-01*

I don’t know how others got it working. All it does is list my books. It doesn’t show art. I can’t get any book to play. I restarted it and still no playback and no art. Hard to pay a subscription to an app that doesn’t work. It is pretty useless.

### 1/5 — Pathetic

*2025-03-26*

Not even usable I was willing to sprang the subscription money if it worked but it wouldn’t even recognize my library

### 5/5 — Works great

*2025-03-10*

Setup was short and sweet. Under 1 minute. So excited to use this as the plex interface for audio books stinks 🤣

### 1/5 — Nice idea. No carplay support

*2025-02-02, version 1.2.1*

What sort of an audiobook app fails to support CarPlay? Such promise. Such a failure.

### 1/5 — Do not download this app

*2025-02-02*

Scam. It’s not free to use, and does not function well. It gladly accepts your Plex login info and then most books will not even play. Riddled with issues. SCAM!

### 4/5 — Nice app; Plex is a problem

*2025-01-06*

Bookcamp is certainly a nice app. Now, can you guys tell me how to better access my audio files either on my Plex server or is there another solution please help!

### 1/5 — App fails to locate Plex files

*2024-11-15*

Requiring a login is lame. Charging a subscription is worse. Failing to find audiobooks on Plex or even prompting the user to select a library makes the app useless. If there is a specific setup required to make this work then it should be made known to users.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work at all

*2024-08-04*

Decided to try this app as an alternative to prologue since prologue does not recognize book chapters in my m4b files.  This app connected to my Plex library with no issues and finds the books and also chapters. However, it will not play any book and just says encountered and error please try again.

### 1/5 — Fails to load 9 times out of 10

*2024-06-21*

Just download Prologue and save yourself the hassle.
