User reviews

Phenomenal

Such a fantastic app. Love having such a great user experience for hosting my own books and podcasts. Recently upgraded to premium so my family and I can download books to listen on the plane and while we travel. Highly appreciate the one time purchase vs subscription model. Rare to see anymore.

No longer useful

I was a fan, but it seems to no longer function. Iโ€™m not sure but given Reddit and the GitHub forums not having any response to login issues, and this being a paid app, Iโ€™d say itโ€™s an abandoned/retired app. If anyone is still working on it, they are doing so very part time.

Great App

Makes audiobooks with Plex a pleasure. Just need to add the ability to create and edit collections.

Great!

The app makes it super easy to set up your own audio book library. And feels like a professional app! Also I love that itโ€™s a one time payment instead of a subscription. This feels like the team actually cares for the people using the app. Thanks!!

Great app. Could be better

Great app for the most part, but it works be even better IMO if it returned to showing the book being played and the larger playback controls when going back into the app. After all, what do you think the most likely action is going to be when something has already been started? The smaller playback controls on the home page just make it feel more awkward to use and itโ€™s almost as if you have to peck at the screen. And showing anything to do with the library is pointless if users have already chosen something to listen to and just want to go back to that.
