Great app!
Love the customizations options. Simple, straight forward, and easy to adjust.
A hidden software GEM*!
Stop searching fancy, magic aaps resulting in broken promises: take advantage of a GREAT, CLEAN and FUNCTIONAL Resource for your portable audio needs. Once you try Bound, it becomes in a forced habit. GO FOR IT, you won’t regret; I hardly write reviews, but in this case…I couldn’t avoid to!
Great app. No notes.
What else do you want? Works as expected and has worked as expected for years. A great, focused little app. Love it!
Still Fantastic!
I often download free BBC programs and use this app to manage and play them back. Would recommend! Update: It’s been years and I still love this app.
Please allow export of audio from the app!

Keeps crashing
Very disappointed. Download audio books for a very long car trip with the kids and now we have half way through listening to a book we don’t have anything to listen to. Unreliable use a different app
Oh yeah
Totally worth the few bucks. Dont even bother with other apps honestly.
Good
It’s useful but I can’t find a way to delete bookmarks.
No Apple Device Files upload support
I am coming from BookPlayer that allows me to upload my mp3 audio books from my PC. A deal breaker for me is not being able to use a USB-C cable to upload mp3 Audiobooks. If I can upload with wire then I will definitely change my review to a 4 or 5.

No folders
I haven’t been able to find a good ios player so I thought I’d try this one. I paid, imported my books, went to sort them,then to my surprise, no way to group certain books into forlder or playlists or whatever!! It feels like I got scammed. There’s also no widget for some reason??
Smooth. Aesthetic. Book in foreground
Nice experience to listen to audiobooks. Adding from Dropbox etc is a smooth process. Interface is simple enough and still unique in style, luckily avoiding cubism trends. I find that no mental clutter is arising when opening the audiobook app to get to the book I want to come back to
App bricks itself and has to be reinstalled
I’ve been using this app for about 15 months. Every few months the app crashes into an unrecoverable state where I can open it but when any of the audiobooks are selected the app instantly crashes and closes. The only way to fix this is to uninstall it entirely, reinstall it, and then re-download the books.

Great but missing some basics
This is a great app with the Web Uploader feature being a real stand out feature to load books. It is only let down by a lack of Shortcuts and Siri integration. It will be more apparent with iOS27 if the connectors haven’t been enabled to allow hands free play and commands. This is available in the free competitors so is a disappointing exclusion as I’m used to be able to say “Siri play my audiobook”. Hopefully this app gets an update for the new iOS and will enable these features given it is listed as “Siri enabled” and yet all you can do is get it to open the app, nothing else.
Other than that is a great app with a couple of UI rough edges but overall good.

Bound decided to delete every book in my files
And its not in my recently deleted. Nowhere to be seen. Unbelievable. I want a refund. If you care about your data, do not trust these devs
The only way to listen to audio books.
By far the absolute best app I’ve ever purchased. I’ve never once regretted the small cost of the app for how convenient it’s been to listen to my collection of audiobooks on CarPlay!
Nearly perfect
Great app, my only issue is you can’t make folders for long series and no grid view. If these features were added it’d be an easy 5 stars
My fav audiobook app
Love using the app although I wish there was some quality of life improvements. 1. A watch app to control the app. 2. Force focus of the audio over other apps, it’s annoying that Reddit will pause other apps even if you have sound muted in Reddit, Audible is able to keep playing while scrolling Reddit. 3. I wish Bound was remembered more when I hit play awhile after playing, I realize if I open another app and play a video or something the phone doesn’t know to play Bound again but if it’s just a matter of time idle it should start back up. 4. I wish there was a widget or something I could access and control the app on my home screen.

So sollten Apps heute sein
Bound ist eine der wenigen Apps, die man einmal kauft und dann einfach nutzen kann. Kein Abo, keine In-App-Käufe, keine versteckten Kosten.
Besonders gefällt mir, dass die App für eigene Hörbücher gedacht ist. Sie unterstützt viele Audioformate, merkt sich zuverlässig die Hörposition und funktioniert hervorragend mit Cloud-Diensten. Das schlichte Interface ist übersichtlich und konzentriert sich auf das Wesentliche.
Mein einziger Wunsch wäre eine bessere Möglichkeit, die Hörbuchbibliothek zu sortieren. Ansonsten eine klare Empfehlung für alle, die ihre eigenen Hörbuchdateien auf dem iPhone hören möchten.

Meh
Seems like a good app except it is difficult to do what I figured would be easy and is vital for my usage. When I added dozens of audiobook files (some files are chapters, some whole books) it auto separated into different books. I wanted them all as one playlist or “audiobook”. I figured out how to move a file from one to another but doing that individually for each file is time consuming. A multi-select/select-all feature would be great for that and/or the ability to specify adding all imported files to a specific book and not use the auto organizing feature. More flexibility and efficiency in manual organization and custom collections/playlists is needed.

Which book?
Why does this app always forget what book I was listening to?
