Quick developer response to issues

I reported an issue on Saturday. Developer responded on Monday that it had been fixed.

Updated. Back to 5! Used to be 5 stars

Updated! Fixed within 24 hours! Thanks! Have been using Plappa flawlessly with ABS for around 6 months. Now whenever I open a new audiobook that wasn’t opened previously, it’ll open the book but no chapters will load and you can’t play or download. Thought it was the audiobook or my server first, but after realizing no new audiobook would work, I tried Audiobooth and everything worked.

Will update to 5 stars once fixed.

Just what I was looking for

Works well with Audiobookshelf over Tailscale VPN, and has all of the player functionality I’ve been looking for. Nice user interface. Includes all of the features that are needed for ease of listening to audiobooks.

Ok for smaller libraries

I have a Library of more than 5000 books and it runs just fine on audiobook shelf. But this app really struggles to run effectively when it’s trying to sync the library. And eventually, it started cutting out about every 5 to 6 minutes and I’d have to restart the app. Ended up going to Prologue and there are no issues now.

Fantastic

The perfect audiobook player.

It makes Audible feel incredibly slow and bloated.

Perfect

Works exactly as described, easy to get set up and running. Absolutely brilliant

Leider bricht Wiedergabe oft ab

Leider bricht die Wiedergabe auch bei heruntergeladen Medien oft beim übergang zur nächsten datei ab. Meist reicht es die App einmal zu schließen und neu zu öffnen, aber manchmal muss das ganz Hörbuch neu geladen werden.

Sonst super.

Excellent

Great app easy to use, just wish we had automatic downloads. It’s something easy to forget before going on a trip with limited reception

配合audiobookshelf完美

非常好用,值得购买

Great app.. however

Seems like there’s some sort of bug with refreshing the library. Like something like a stale cash that requires you to completely log out and log back in if changes to Metadata or other things have been changed with the files. I wish there was a way to refresh the library cash without having to log out and logged back in every time.

Not reliable

When the app works it’s great. I love being able to listen to books as I am getting my stuff done or while I’m in the car. However, I frequently get the error where it says the server can’t be reached. It can take several weeks for the error to be resolved. Additionally, when this happens my place in the book is lost.

plappa + audiobookshelf server + tailscale

My family has been searching for an iOS app that would sync with our Audiobookshelf home server. Plappa does not disappoint! Thank you for creating this awesome app!

(Note: When we are away from home, we connect to our home server via tailscale, and are able to sync/download our audiobooks without having to set up any special remote access configurations in the Plappa app. Tailscale is wonderful for this!)

AMAZING 🤩

BESt APP EVER! Great for my midnight snack entertainment!!!!!!10/10 100% ALL THE WAY!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Excellent

Honestly, I don’t take time to write reviews often. I think this app is just right. I wish it was available on Android, I’d use it over native audiobookshelf app. Is even pay for this app.

Better than audible

This does everything that I need it to do and isn’t annoying at all.

Great for Audiobookshelf

I use this software every day for listening to audiobooks. The only feature I need is to be able to be smart about connecting to my LAN when I am on home wifi rather than routing over the Internet which takes forever to download a local copy.

Does not update chapters

Updated my book on ABS. But plappa stuck at old chapters. Don’t know how to get sync again.
