Great When it Works
Like the title says, it’s great when it works, but every other week I run into a playback issue whether when streaming a book or playing one that I’ve downloaded to my device. I have to delete and reinstall the app to clear it; that usually works so to restore playback. Using it with audiobookshelf.

Good but buggy
Clean interface and good audiobookshelf integration. Really struggling with the app retaining positions accurately on my 17 Pro though. The “go back x seconds after interruption” setting does whatever it wants regardless of my setting, and if I pause from the lock screen widget the playtime continues incrementing even though audio starts. Ending a timer from my Apple Watch while a book is playing seems to cause a random increment of 1-5 minutes. This is all with a downloaded local book, so not even a connectivity concern with my audiobookshelf server. I’ll be looking for another option despite paying for this one - keeping accurate positions, always, is my highest priority requirement for an audiobook player.

Amazing
Great app! Clean UI, easy to integrate with AudioBookShelf.
Sometimes I have issues downloading where I’ll try to start the download but it won’t go and I’ll have to reset the app then it works. Never had an issue with just streaming though.
Apple Care Play support was the final feature I needed to kick Audible.
I get books from libro.fm and highly recommend folks check them out for their DRM free content to integrate with plappa and wherever backend you have!

Lovely app for audiobookshelf
Simple, fast with a cute icon and interesting name. Very worth paying for
