User reviews

Really nice!

I really like this app. I was given an iPhone 6 that I use like an iPod. Unfortunately, Audible’s app will no longer play on it. This is a more than adequate replacement. The only improvements I would like to see are an automobile mode similar to Audible’s app and a bookmark feature.

Almost perfect - please add gapless track playback!

I listen to a lot of audio dramas, and this app is so nearly perfect for sorting and listening to those dramas that, for one reason or another, don’t have an app of their own. One little thing keeps it from perfection - a lot of my dramas are broken up into individual tracks, so gapless track transitioning is essential. Unfortunately, Undulib lacks this feature (as far as I can tell), resulting in a brief but noticeable pause in the drama as tracks change, which is very distracting. Otherwise, it’s perfect. Please, add gapless track transitioning!

Best Audiobook App & Supports CarPlay

This is my favourite audiobook app! Very simple,not filled with useless extra features and supports CarPlay (which works flawlessly). I'm so happy I no longer need to depend on iBooks in my car.

Perfect

My original review seems to have vanished so I am commenting again. This is what Apple’s audiobook app should be like. Simple and remembers where you left off. It also now has CarPlay. What’s not to like?? A nice addition would be to be able to recall the previous bookmark. I have been known to fall asleep while listening in bed and finding where I was previously can be a mite tedious. Absolutely. Great app, thanks a lot!

Lacking features

Update
The index is hugely helpful, and makes the app much more useable.

Looking forward to further improvements. :)
————
While I do use this app daily, it lacks features that have me searching for a replacement.

For perspective, I keep over 200 audiobooks on my iPhone.

Features this app needs:
1. Search
2. Index on the right side, as found in Contacts app
3. Condensed list display / ability to turn off cover art in the book list (I.e. show more titles at once)
4. Sorting options (by author, A-Z/Z-A)

Other features that would be appreciated:
1. A way to sort series/show series titles together (folders, tags, ?)
2. Ability to have the book list presented using just the cover art

Response from developer

I really like these ideas! I've just got the index working. I'll for sure be adding the sort options and see what I can do about searching. In regards to sorting series together, I suggest either putting all of the titles into one album or using the "sort album" field in iTunes. For example, I have my entire Sherlock Holmes collection sorted under the "S" section chronologically.
