Awesome Player

I liked the player and I emailed to see if something was available and the change got pushed through. Absolutely fantastic! My go-to audiobook player.

Almost perfect.

Good app, though the AirPods forward and rewind commands don’t work for some reason.

A brilliant audiobook player particularly for a blind thed partially cited

I have found this app to be a brilliant audiobook Player. The developer seems very friendly and helpful and has implemented a couple of suggestions that I have made. I would recommend it to blind and partially excited users as the implementation of the VoiceOver is excellent. The amazing thing is that it is free.

Forces you to pick artwork

I don’t want to pick a random picture from my photos to use as the audiobook artwork. Just let it be a question mark.

Almost Perfect

It’s the best audiobook app for listening to your own file collection.

I wish it had full CarPlay implementation. You can listen and control playback using CarPlay’s now playing interface after starting a book from the phone. You cannot open novelwave or choose a book directly from the CarPlay screen.
