Nutze ich seit vielen Jahren. ### 3/5 — Guter Reader aber ein massiver Bug *2026-03-10* Ich hatte die App gekuft, weil das Interface für die Watch besser ist als von der Konkurrenz. Insgesamt war ich auch zufrieden, allerdings gibt es einen Bug, der die App für mich unbrauchbar macht. Wenn man das Hörbuch über Airplay auf einer Anlage hört, verändert sich ohne Grund die Lautstärke auf Maximum. Das passiert immer dann, wenn die App im Hintergrund läuft und man wieder in die App reingeht. Dann springt ohne Grund der Lautstärkeregler auf Maximum. Dazu kommt: Wenn die App im Hintergrund läuft, kann man die Airplay Lautstärke nicht über die Lautstärkeregler des iPhones steuern. Man muss erst wieder in die App und dann passiert das oben Beschriebene. Da ich sehr viel über meine Anlage höre, kann ich die App so nicht nutzen. Schade, denn die vielen Funktionen sind super. ### 5/5 — Fix both listenbook apps *2025-01-07* Both listenbook app is not working right it’s not letting me download all the audiobook in librivox audiobooks in both listenbook app can you fix it so I can download all the audiobook from librivox and put in the right title version not just title name there are many of the same name it will get confusing ot it’s not the title and version of every audiobook I put in I have to change the title to every audiobook that comes in when it done download do please fix everything even put in the version and number and dramatic one to in the title when I come in after the download and all the covers to not using your cover to use the covers from librivox website ### 5/5 — Audiobook player *2025-01-05, version 2.33* Rewelacyjna apka do słuchania audiobooków ### 5/5 — Simply awesome *2024-09-02* One of the best apps I’ve found to listen to audiobooks on. Super easy to import your audiobooks onto from different sources. The developer did a fantastic job. ### 5/5 — The app is incredible, it’s my first choice app for audiobooks *2024-02-09, version 2.22* I haven't had any issues with the app. I love the way how to import new books ### 4/5 — Almost perfect *2024-01-19* Checks all my boxes for player but one. No playlist. I often listen to books in my car and don’t want to fumble to start the next book. A minor bit is no way to arrange books into a series list. A playlist would solve this however. That said I like the controls and the UI. If playlist is not important to you then I would recommend. ### 5/5 — Has some issues small issues *2023-09-06* Update 3: After months of daily use I’ve concluded it’s the best available! Yes, there are small quirks but once you sort out your best method of use it’s very reliable. Give it more than a few minutes tryout and you’ll be rewarded! Desolately needs sync across devices and the “end of chapter” timer able to use the auto restart feature but the rest is near perfect. Hopefully the dev will consider this. **Developer response:** Thank you! ### 5/5 — Wonderful, possibly the best *2023-07-20* I love this dev’s previous app, MP3 Book Player, and was surprised that they made a new app. But I suppose there’s only so much you can do to upgrade an engine before you decide it’s just better to start a new one from scratch. I love the new audio features, and I can’t imagine life without them now. This is the only app I will use for audiobooks from now on. I haven’t used it for music yet. The only thing that is missing is syncing across devices. I have this on my iPad, but even with iCloud backup sync turned on, I had to airdrop the book to my iPhone, add it to my phone’s library and find the same position I was in earlier. I imagine that if I want to listen on my iPad again I’ll have to search for my “page” all over again. It also means I have to rebuild my library on each new app. It should have a folder in iCloud to sync to all devices from. ## Frequently asked questions about ListenBook Pro ### What is this app?
