One of a kind
There is lots of room for improvement with this app but I’m still giving it 5 stars because it’s open source, there’s nothing quite like it, and the devs are awesome so I have no doubt it will only get better and better.
I use Storyteller as my central client even for reading ebooks without an audiobook and vice versa to keep everything in one place. I’d love the option to sort by series and such so I’m not fishing through hundreds of books.

401 error
I’m sure it works great, but I am unable to use it. Everyone I log in I get a 401 error. It works on my other devices and platforms but on iOS
Amazing app
Such an amazing system. I was able to use elfhosted to run the server for me, and it is working like a charm. Like whispersync for books I actually own. Chefs kiss.
God bless yall
This is what the internet and community is about. Thanks for this resource. Works amazingly. Started a family book club and can share w them as well. Been wonderful as someone with ADHD. Thanks for doing what you do and for free. It means the world and I hope so many blessings come yalls way. Hoping for dictionary integration next cuz ik yall are working on syncing bookmarks. Cheers!!!! Mwah

Awesome but a few bugs
This app is great, I use it to learn new languages. The user interface is simple which is not a bad thing. However, the app is a bit buggy. For instance, I wish to add custom fonts but the app won’t let me do it. After having uploaded fonts from my files, they don’t appear in the app.
Also, a search tool would be very welcome!
To my knowledge, it is the only app offering immersive listening!

Great app
This application is great & support is amazing
Exactly what I needed
This is the perfect app for my reading. Everything is amazing once you have the server running. This is my everyday ereader app. All the features are great. Thank you. Below is feedback on what I want changed.
Allow users request to server admin books they want to expand library. Have a request panel for admins or everyone to see on the app.
Bring the scrollable layout from web to app on ios and android
Maybe a comment section for each section of the book or for each book. But id have that probably toggled off by default so maybe not

Amazing app, amazing dev
I love storyteller, my family and I use it daily. The ability to seamlessly swap between listening to an audiobook while driving or on a run and be at the exact sentence when in the ebook has single handedly renewed my love for reading.
I also really appreciate how the developer has built a great community on discord and actively responds to support requests. Shane fixed a bug I reported in just a few hours. Insanely awesome!

A hidden gem.
This app (back-end server included) is awesome. I don't know of any other solution in the Apple App Store that can do this. You'll need to run your own (Docker) server touhg, so for home lab enthusiasts, this is pure gold.
The developer definitely deserves our appreciation and support to keep this project alive and growing so we can get quality-of-life updates and new features in the future.
GUI improvements and personalization options would be appreciated. If it’s not too much to ask, metadata scraping and graphically reading stats would be awesome to have as well.
Thank you, Shane!

Love this app!! Have feature requests!
Exactly what I was looking for. Does what is on the label and nice to look at! Suggestive feature auto scroll/ scrolling view. Where the screen scrolls down vertically as it reads along. Would be a nice feature to have!
Exactly what I was looking for
Awesome app, can’t believe it’s open source. Brilliant job by the dev.
If I was Apple, I would buy this app and make it a key feature!
This is such a good app on its own. It’s pretty and respects users. On top of it, the underlying self-hosted alignment server is amazing! This is truly a gem and I hope the developers are able to continue to work on it.
This is exactly what I was looking for
Incredible. Syncing without being beholden to Amazon is a dream come true.
Amazing app, if this is how all Audio books should be
You need to learn some Docker commands to setup the Storyteller server but once it's done, it's very easy to build these ebook + audio book synced ebooks. It's the best of both worlds, if you ever got lost in though listening to a audio book and wished you could just read the last few lines to get back to where you were, the try this app. The only thing I wish they added was a sleep timer, so I can go to sleep listening to my book

Much better than Whispersync
Does a much better job of keeping an ebook and audiobook in sync than Whispersync does. My new favorite way to experience books.
I Love Storyteller
First, I love what Storyteller sets out to accomplish! Having a synced ebook / audiobook is just awesome! Also you can tell this is a labor of love, and that’s awesome. Keep up the amazing work Shane! Also, I really appreciate there is an iOS app, that’s incredibly convenient! Setup of the Storyteller webserver definitely still requires some in-depth technical knowledge but I’m excited as that becomes easier as time goes on.

The WhisperSync Killer
Absolutely nothing else like it anywhere. If you like to switch between audio and reading (or do Immersive reading) and have DRM-free versions of both, this is for you. The developer is putting something amazing out there and could not be more responsive and kind. Use it, support it, and spread the word!

Thanks for making something like this definitely helpful
God bless you
Thank you AWESOME appp!
The app is a God Send, Please add a form to contribute to the development process. This app allows me to create merge my converted audiobooks, of super thick technical guides and hear and see them. And with dyslexia this is amazing. Is it possible to add another feature to the bookmarking which we can highlight specific part to quickly reference them like a higher like in Apple Books app. Again thank you either way.
