User reviews

A mind bending tactical journey back through over 2500 years.

I love that I now feel as though I lived just down the street from Isaiah’s home. His words pick up weight meaning, color and texture. Words that used to fumix now feel like obvious old friends. If you have any desire to understand this great prophet, don’t miss this chance to contextualize and invite deep understanding to be yours.

Nice work

Satisfied

Works perfectly

This app is a no frills player for your audiobook files. It’s straight and to the point, does whatever you could want. When you pause to do something, it automatically rolls back a few or more seconds so you can more easily get back into where you were, I love that feature. You don’t have to pay to use the app, and the ability to connect easily to my Jellyfin server is peak performance. Couldn’t be an happier with a book playing app and I will be using this app forever

Crisp and Peofessional

Such a smooth user experience. I’m grateful for this app. I was able to pull my audiobook files from my PC onto this app through the desktop Apple Devices app. It works so well and smoothly.

Alarm issue

I love this up and I always like to listen to a book when i sleep. I place a timer for 30min and listen to my book as I fall asleep. But when my alarm goes off in the morning there is no sound and I have been arriving to work late. Please Please Please look into this. That is the only reason why it is not a 5 star app.
