Wow!
Was looking for a simple audiobook reader and this has been phenomenal!
perfect app
literally the best offline audiobook player ive found! has everything you need and so easy to add personal audiobooks. also appreciate how you can have playback speeds higher than 2x as some other apps dont allow that. love this app
Cant be beat!
The best dev around, fixes every issue I encounter and still the app is fluid and smooth and just so GOOD. Carplay CHECK(version 3.1) Organization CHECK Sleep timer CHECK
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.

Perfection
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!

What All Apps Should Aspire To
This app does everything it needs to and nothing it doesn’t. A sleek, simple interface and enough playback customisation to allow many different listening styles.
This is like finding a wonderful Linux program made by someone who both cares a great deal and is expert enough in design to get it right, then having the decency to give it away as an act of supreme public service. Bravo and thanks to the developer.

Almost perfect
Very clean, simple app to use. It would be amazing if it supported car play!
Great but no CarPlay support
Great app in all respects bar one: there is CarPlay support.
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.

Love it
I’ve used a couple of similar apps and this works really well for audiobooks.
And it’s free, too?!!!
So, the fact that there were so few reviews made me doubt the high rating, and the fact that it was free had me doubting it was any good at all. But, after reading the other reviews, AND seeing the praise for and responses from the developer, I decided to give it a chance.
In a word…? SUPURB!!!
Interface and controls and pretty intuitive, and I love the prompting for combining files into one book and the details box. Only thing I can see missing is being able to grab that details info from the file meta data. Maybe that a future update?

Response from developer
Hey, thanks for the kind words! If you're referring to audiobook details populating from existing file metadata, that should already be there. I'll double-check just to make sure. Feel free to drop me an email with your suggestion and I'll be sure to take a look.
Love it
Didn’t think an app like this would exist. Searched for it nonetheless. Found this. Love it! Simply perfect!
Top Audiobook Player
The player is really great. It has everything you could want in an audiobook player. There’s just one thing I’d like to see added: the ability to rename the title and author if you made a typo.
Response from developer
Hi Andy - glad you're enjoying the app! You can swipe left to edit audiobook details, which allows you to change the title, author, audiobook cover artwork, as well as add missing metadata if needed. Drop me an email if you encounter any issues with this.
Simple Yet Superb
This is a great example of an app that is well designed and coded to accomplish the single purpose it was created for.
I use it to listen to audiobooks that I bought without DRM on my iPad Pro. Just enough customization and features to make the player disappear into the background while enjoying the audiobook.
I honestly wish there was a “tip” in-app purchase available. This app is WORTH a contribution in my opinion.
The only “wish list” feature I can suggest would be to allow access to audiobook files outside of the app versus importing them. I have many already stored locally on my iPad in the Files app but they have to be copied into Novelwave to be used which uses more storage of course.
