A great audiobook app

I have really enjoyed my time using this app! I’ve been able to completely move off of all other apps and am pretty seamlessly able to play all of my audiobooks hosted on my server. I also really enjoy the UI and all of the features available. I did make the premium upgrade and feel it’s very worth it as a one-time purchase.

Must have for audiobook readers

Just flawless - is fast, is reliable. Use daily and it always just works.

CarPlay start up time could be better - seems to take a bit to load.
