### 3/5 — Copy of BookPlayer?

*2024-10-24*

Seems like a stripped down copy of BookPlayer.  Even the menus are exactly the same.  What gives?  Is a nice lightweight version but funny it seems like an exact copy for features it retains.

### 4/5 — slightly buggy but pretty good

*2025-12-28*

yes, this is a pretty obvious fork of bookplayer. The playback circle doesn't show progress properly. But you can use standalone apple watch app without the app nagging for tips or a garbage subscription model.

### 4/5 — Nice and clean

*2024-12-01*

Love how minimal this is! My only complaint, which is huge for me, is that there isn’t a complication for easy access to the app—otherwise this would be my go-to

### 4/5 — Copy of BookPlayer?

*2024-10-31*

Seems like a stripped down copy of BookPlayer.  Even the menus are exactly the same.  What gives?  Is a nice lightweight version but funny it seems like an exact copy for features it retains.

Update: Aparently the claim to fame is the ability play books directly on Apple Watch.  Otherwise it is the BookPlayer clone. Have to see how it works on watch.

### 5/5 — Seems Solid

*2025-10-13*

Clean interface with chapter time remaining option I like. Doesn’t pester for money. Works and is intuitive.
