Response from developer

Hey there! Version 2.0 should fix all playback tracking issues, and CarPlay is indeed planned as a feature. Stay tuned :)

Does not understand multiple devices

Well… it works great on an iPhone, but when I installed the app on my iPad mini, it immediately recognized that I have audiobooks, but it won’t download them onto my iPad Mini, nor will it play them. Either it should have a way to sync the audiobooks between devices or it should not show audiobooks from one device on a second device. Extremely frustrating, and this is making me look for a more usable audiobook reader.

This audiobook player is literally everything. Simple and functional.

On top of that, the developer is wonderful and very responsive to feedback.

I couldn’t recommend more!
