amazing

this app is exactly what i was looking for. i like downloading audiobook files for free online but its too hard to listen to them from my files app so i was looking for an app that would let me save my place in the book. it also divided the audio file i was trying to listen to into chapters and im not even sure how it could do that but it did and im grateful for that. i also love that u get the option to pay for more features but u get to CHOOSE a price u think is fair. u get all the main stuff for free and the extra stuff for whatever price u can afford. definitely recommend choosing this app out of all the others🙏🏼
