Ratings and reviews

Still no update. Looks nice but it's super buggy. FWD/RWD isn't consistent, sometimes it goes back or forward on its own and leaves you lost. Bookmarks are a bit basic. Adding covers doesn't always stick and makes it annoying/tedious. Old: I got a new phone and transferring things over was a major pain. It'd be great if there was a system for backing up and restoring settings, covers, and audiobook data like progress and bookmarks. Also, it could use basic features like undo.

Simple and works well. Requires a little "manual input" meaning making sure your files for books are in an appropriate folder, but it's very simple and I like the freedom and security of knowing it's done right. Once you have your folders selected in the app, the books display properly and I've had no issues. No ads. Plenty of settings to tune things to your liking but I find the default settings perfectly fine.

App is pretty good, with a nice clean interface and looks rather professional. I have trouble with how it structures my books but it's not so bad. However, the latest update seems to have broken something. I play with the speed turned up to 1.4x multiplyer and when I pause it it seems to skip ahead. I have to rewind back constantly now.
