Hervorragende App
Die bisher beste App für Audiobookshelf die ich gefunden habe. Sieht gut aus, funktioniert gut und die paar Kleinigkeiten die noch nicht passen werden sicher noch behoben (z.B. dass sich die App immer um Mitternacht beendet und damit die Wiedergabe unterbrochen wird.)
用处不大，还不让退款
可我的使用场景不匹配，退款时拒接退款。第一次见这种一味圈钱的软件。买前建议先确定自己有没有服务器端。不然不给退，钱跟扔了一样。
A must if you’re using a AudioBookShelf server
Technically AudioBookShelf do have their own app, but it’s been in Beta for as long as I can remember and you can’t use it. Step up ShelfPlayer to fill the gap 😀. I use it all the time (bit of an audiobook addict) and it works great. It lets you download books for offline listening.
So far from what I have expected
I am connecting to an instance of Audiobookshelf and I have to log in every other time that I open the app. Then it takes a minute to load the main screen and even though it downloads episodes it stll takes time before you can play anything.
I do not recommend at all. There are better alternatives.

Pretty good but lots of bugs
There is a bug where the audio stops playing at midnight and cannot be restarted without going to the app. Also the chapter selection from the book page is broken but it works in the playback menu with visual bugs. Sometimes the downloads randomly disappear.
Decent but needs work
Constantly going offline, losing my current position in my book, skipping too far, etc. it’s just pretty clunky
Constantly losing podcast/audiobook progress
Using the sleep timer function for several 20 minute podcast series and audio books. When the timer runs through several episodes or chapters over the course of an hour long timer I constantly find the shelf player app not saving progress to ABS on timer end and starting right back where the last session began.
I’m losing multiple episodes or chapters of progress and taking up a lot of time constantly re-marking episodes complete or trying to figure out where to resume an audiobook before continuing listening sessions.
The UI is very nice but this functionality flaw is heavily detracting from the experience

Great App
Does everything I need to, recognizes Audiobookshelf tags, collections, series etc. which is super helpful
Almost perfect!
This app is getting really really close to perfect. It's the only one that handles seasons well! My only advice regards the mini-player animation. It is SO cool that you have emulated Apple's shrinking album cover effect (I'm geeking out about it!), but I'm not sure it's really ready for release. Until it's smooth and snappy, I'd rather have the whole player slide down off the bottom of the screen quickly and smoothly than have a fancy animation that feels slow and finicky. If it weren't for that, I could easily be convinced this app was built by the Apple devs themselves! 👏👏👏

Gut
Also funktioniert bei mir sehr gut. Bestimmt ne Menge Arbeit, danke dafür
Finally fixed the background crashing, but many other issues added in the process
Previous update finally solved the background crashing issue, but caused numerous other issues.
1. Trying to play a completed episode without first explicitly resetting progress causes an instant crash
2. If you have used the sleep timer, you must set to random value, then cancels, then set again. Otherwise it will show a negative number in the thousands and prevent podcasts from playing
3. The latest field has disappeared from CarPlay with no discernible way to get it back.
4. Double click AirPods no longer skips forward, but instead SKIPS TO THE NEXT EPISODE unlike every other audio app in existence. There seems to be no way to change this
5. The currently playing display at the bottom of the screen with occasionally stop working and require a force close
6. Occasionally will crash when queueing multiple episodes
To users - maybe just use plappa. It’s clunky and less pretty, but it actually works consistently
To the dev - maybe layoff the vibes. Random things are breaking and changing in every update. Kinda bums me out

Should be fixed in version 3.2.1
Works great when it works
I’m really happy overall with ShelfPlayer as it manages my audiobooks via audiobookshelf running on my Linux server. The problem is, it occasionally starts the book from the beginning. This isn’t a huge deal for shorter books, but I’m listening to 1000+ page books over the course of weeks/months and it takes a long long time of skipping around in the audio book to find my place. Infuriating.
Edit: seems fixed

Been my primary audiobook player
I’m at a period of life where reading books is difficult. I listen to books almost constantly. I have a half dozen audiobook apps and this one is my go to. I have multiple long series that I enjoy re-listening to, and this is a simple way to do that.
Good ABS App
This is my preferred Audiobookshelf app. I particularly like the integration with Shortcuts.
Very promising, very buggy
Unlike Plappa, this runs on everything Apple - iOS, iPadOS, MacOS and provides better UI experience. Unfortunately, critical bugs won’t let me switch away from Plappa. The biggest one is inability to present all books from an author. Say I have 16 books of Dan Simmons. ShelfPlayer shows 16 as a counter of all books from Dan Simmons, but only subset is shown in the actual book list… that’s a hard stop, critical issue for me

A terrible update.
A terrible update. I can no longer see the chapter information in individual music files, and there are also some playback crashes.
Wonderful
This the most elegant and beautiful app I have ever used. The attention to details is amazing when is coming to both functionality and design.
Abstürze!!!
Seit dem letzten Update startet die App gar nicht mehr sondern stürzt direkt wieder ab. Zuvor war ich eigentlich recht zufrieden aber seit heute geht nichts mehr! Bitte bald möglichst nachbessern!!!

Ist in Update 3.2.1 behoben
Great except critical pain point
This app does a lot of things great except for loosing my position in my book every few days leaving me to manually find it again, which is very frustrating.
I will come back and see if things have improved in a few months but for now will use a different player with ABS.

Unusable
This is so bad and unusable. Learn how to sync. You have literally one job and that’s to remember where i left off.
