What's New in Lysn

1.7.1

October 24, 2026

Voice Boost now works everywhere Voice Boost previously had no effect on most books, including everything streamed from a server — the control was there, but the sound never changed. It now works during normal playback, on downloaded and streamed books alike, lifting speech out of a noisy or quietly mastered recording. Speed and Voice Boost are remembered per book Each book keeps its own playback speed and Voice Boost level. Books you have never adjusted follow the defaults in Settings, so changing a default now affects them as it should instead of only applying to newly added books. Streamed books keep their own settings too, rather than borrowing whatever you last set on a downloaded one. Fixes • The progress bar can be dragged on books that have no chapters. Dragging it did nothing before — it snapped straight back. • Dragging the progress bar to the very end no longer restarts the book from the beginning. • The position no longer freezes after you drag backwards. • The percentage next to the progress bar now matches the bar itself. • Changing speed while paused no longer starts playback. • Speed changes now take effect immediately on books played through the backup audio engine. • Playback speed is pitch-corrected for speech, so voices stay natural when sped up. • Starting playback from Apple Watch no longer resets the book's speed to 1x. • Hardcover sign-in accepts your API token however you paste it, including straight from Hardcover's own page. Sign-in problems now say what is actually wrong — a bad token, a token without the right access, or too many requests — instead of a single unhelpful message. • Hardcover book search reports connection and sign-in problems instead of quietly showing no results. • Trimming a clip near the very end of a book no longer fails.

User reviews

Brilliant app

Fab app works much better than the last app I was using. I trialled it for a month at 99p but have now bought the lifetime access for £19.99 because it runs smoothly, works in the car with car play, is simple to navigate and does small things like jump back a bit on the audiobook if a call interrupted you to make sure you didn’t miss a few seconds. All round great!

Fast and reliable

Excellent player for large audiobook catalogues.

Great App!

After using this app for a couple of weeks, it has quickly become my go-to platform for listening to audiobooks. Its intuitive interface makes navigation a breeze, allowing me to find and resume playing my audiobooks with just a few taps. It’s rare to find an app that combines easy to use with elegant aesthetics, but this one nails both, making using this app enjoyable to use.
