### 4/5 — Love the app

*2026-07-01*

This app desperately needs an update. No longer opens for me.

### 5/5 — Loving the app!

*2026-05-15*

This app is phenomenal and very well made. It has some great features for finding new books and listing to your existing library. My only complaint is that when you pause for a short period of time and then try to resume, playback doesn’t start for me unless I completely quit the app and start it again. Only then will it resume playing from where I left off. Besides that, phenomenal app!

### 5/5 — Fantastic app

*2026-05-07*

Great way to access your own library of audio books without needing to manually download each one

### 5/5 — Amazing app! Completely replaced my Audible subscription with this!

*2026-03-30*

This app has been a game changer for me, it enabled my to cancel my Audible subscription and save quite a bit of money with a user experience that is just as good! Highly recommend!

### 5/5 — Audio book stremio

*2026-03-24*

Fantastic app. If you’re familiar with Stremio and its capabilities you’ll love this. Pageturner is extremely easy to setup and the dev is kind and accessible on the apps discord. Highly recommend.

### 5/5 — Great App

*2026-03-02*

App works very well for listening to audiobooks. Make sure to join the discord to get access to support and to set it up properly. Occasionally memory crashes but this has been greatly improved in the past weeks. Looking forward to the upcoming CarPlay integration. Would definitely recommend!

### 5/5 — Fantastic!

*2026-02-27*

I was able to get this all set up and it works so well! Really impressive work, thank you for this great app!

### 5/5 — MY FAVORITE APP! The best!

*2026-02-26*

This app is amazing and the dev is constantly working hard to improve it. It works so well and makes it easier to find the books I’m looking for and listen quickly. They are always adding new features and listen to feedback from customers. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

### 1/5 — Restricted content + broken features

*2026-02-26*

This app is frustratingly limited. LibriVox only provides books from the public domain, so 'trending' titles are a dead end. To make matters worse, the API integration is non-functional and doesn't appear when configured. Avoid the headache—there are better alternatives that are transparent about their library and actually work.
