Local Audio Books vs Island Reader

Local Audio Books plays the audiobooks you own, free classics in eight languages, and podcasts that just play. EVERYTHING ON ONE SCREEN Listen holds everything on your device, from every source: the book or episode you played last, with its progress and a play button, then the rest grouped — in progress, favourites, podcast episodes, not started, finished. Every source — your folders, each free catalogue, Podcasts — has its own tab, and Search looks through all of them at once. FREE AUDIOBOOKS IN YOUR LANGUAGE • LibriVox — public-domain books read by volunteers, with catalogues in English, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Dutch, Portuguese and Polish • Wolne Lektury — Polish classics read by actors (CC BY-SA) • Project Gutenberg — synthetic narration Tap Listen now and the book plays at once while it downloads in the background. Afterwards it is yours offline, with author, narrator, source and license recorded. PODCASTS AND RADIO DRAMA Follow shows from recommendations, your country's top charts or a search of the podcast directory — or paste any feed address. Episodes stream straight away, newest first, and each keeps its own position. Download only the ones you want offline. YOUR FOLDER IS YOUR LIBRARY Point the app at a folder of audiobooks (one subfolder of MP3 or AAC files per book) on your device or in iCloud Drive. No hidden database: manage everything in Files or Finder. BUILT FOR LONG LISTENS • Resume exactly where you stopped • Sleep timer — in minutes, or at the end of a chapter • Speed from 0.8× to 2.5×, remembered for each book • Skip intervals you choose, chapters and bookmarks • Lock screen, headphone and CarPlay controls MADE FOR EVERY SCREEN A Liquid Glass design for iOS 26 with the system tab bar: each source is an icon with a count, and the bar tucks away as you scroll. On the iPhone Duo it becomes a rail on the right edge, right by your thumb. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account, no ads, no tracking. The network is used only for catalogues, podcasts, downloads and cover art. Available in English, Polish, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Dutch and Portuguese.
