It Just Works!

Nothing fancy, very little BS, just takes audio files I’ve put on Dropbox and allows me to listen to them as podcasts. I hate the stupid device I’m typing this on and keep on swearing I’ll get a dumphone, but no native mp3 player seems to be as good as this app for my purposes.

Perfect Audiobook Player

Been looking for an alternative to mainstream audiobook sources. Audible and Amazon have been giving me the ick, and having my own option to upload my own files and still have it be easy to use, navigate and play has been a lifesaver. Thanks for such a great free app!

Amazing!

All I had to do was load up my audio books from my pc using the ‘apple devices’ app on windows and then whamo, you’re listening with no ads or interruptions. Best part is your phone can be off and the audio still plays. Highly recommend ❤️
