Incredibly well designed app.
Settings are tweakers’ dream.
Yet day to day use is a simple joy.

Bestest Ever Audiobookshelf app
I cannot believe it took me so long to find the perfect ABS app. I have tried them all, audiobooth, absorb and others, but nothing even comes close in terms of how so much better soundleaf is. Quickly became my daily driver and fav.
I am speechless - Its just good
Works like a charm!
Form and function
Tip of the hat to the author for a great looking and functioning app. I frequently use the read along feature in Kindle and was looking for something similar for Audiobookshelf. I’ve tested a few different implementations and this is my favorite, for accuracy and appearance. There are also multiple options for the user to control when and where the analysis and alignment of audio and text is performed. The overall look of the app is the best I’ve seen. Whomever is making the design decisions has a great eye. Don’t forget to support the author if you appreciate the effort.

Absolutely amazing
I can't believe this app is free. Incredible feature set, made with care for the user. A breath of fresh air in today's tech landscape.
Easily the best iOS ABS app
Premium quality. Better than the alternatives. Amazing value. Please keep going!
Best ABS out there
Have tried all the ABS apps, but the read along app in this app is so amazing, cant live without it. The most premium feeling app out there, and everything just works. Watch app, ipad, mac support is fabolous. Dev is amazing!!
Best ABS player
I think I tried every ABS player and this one is amazing!!! It has features I didn’t know existed and now I can’t live without!!!
Amazing Software
Beyond my wildest expectations
Great app for listening to podcasts and audiobooks
This app integrates beautifully with my Audiobookshelf instance. I like that there is a Mac app as well as an iPhone app, so I can keep everything in sync. One feature that would be nice, would be the ability to add a podcast to a playlist. Once done, all new episodes of the given podcast would be added to the playlist- sort of like a dynamic playlist.

Amazing App
This app is incredible - it supports all devices (iPhone, iPad, Watch, CarPlay) with proper functionality tailored to each device. The feature set is jam packed - you’d be hard pressed to find an audiobook app that has more features, and features that are well considered. An app made with genuine passion and care.

Thank you! :)
Read along very is poorly optimized
The read along feature and voice matching draws a significant amount of battery life, even when listening in the background. To the point to where my battery is hitting 50% in 2.5 hours of background listening on my 9 month old 17 pro max.
Such a cool feature idea, but not practical in its current form.

Response from developer
Update: This has been fixed, Read Along is now 40% faster and 80% more battery efficient in the background. --- Old Response: Thanks for the feedback. I’m aware of the increased battery usage with Read Along, and I’ve spent a lot of time optimizing it. I also found a few more improvements to the processing flow (thanks to you) that should cut down on unnecessary work during longer listening sessions -- I will include these fixes in the new version v2.6 (would take a couple of days). The main cost comes from voice matching, since SoundLeaf has to transcribe the spoken audio and compare it against the ebook text on-device to keep everything in sync. If you haven’t already, try the preprocessing options in Read Along settings. Downloaded books can be prepared while charging, which should reduce battery usage while you’re actually listening.
Das beste App!
Bin ganz zufrieden damit.
The best and most flexible app
This dev is the best! He added Calibre Web Automated integration days after I suggested it. I finally have a single client that can pull audiobooks from audiobookshelf and ebooks from Calibre Web Automated (audiobookshelf technically supports ebooks but not a proper replacement).
And lastly to bring it all together syncing between ebooks and audiobooks is so awesome, I’m insanely impressed how spot on it is without needing multi-hour PC transcription like I previously needed with Storyteller.

Don’t hesitate. Works very well. Nice design. Well thought out. Support this dev and purchase.
Keeps getting better
I have been using this for about a year on a daily basis. The most recent updates as of this review have greatly enhanced the apps polish and functionality in my opinion. It is a pleasure to use. Highly recommended for ABS users.
Works great with audiobookshelf
Has great ergonomics, keep working on it!
Try and get new audiobooks that have been added to sync quicker- it’s the remaining flaw imho.

Response from developer
It should be much better in v2.2 (upcoming release, and a fresh new look). Added a pull to refresh as well. Thank you for your kind words!
Wonderful update
Have been using the app for probably a year. Loved the ease of connection. The most recent update is phenomenal. Getting the widget feature, seeing what’s in progress and finished, all features i was waiting would arrive. Can’t wait to see what else has been added!
Response from developer
Thank you for the feedback. Glad you loved the widgets.
Useful audiobook app
I like what the developer is making. There are some UI issues and it doesn't have a widget yet. I hope those fixes are planned.
The colour scheme and usability is well thought out. Privacy focused and able to easily connect to my audiobook collection.
Great work!
