Audio book reader app12/1/2023 Pretty much nothing that annoyed me about the other 5 apps I tried. There are no ads, no glitches, and no pop ups. Simple, bugless, no annoying ads or pop ups. Please add download progress functionality. With a large audiobook and slow internet, it can take 5 to 10 minutes for the audiobook to show up. I think maybe 40 years ago ( at the start of the PC revolution)? When I started using the app, I tapped on the the audiobook multiple times in the file picker, because the app gave me no feedback it was downloading the file. I can’t remember the the last time I used an App that didn’t show download or transfer progress. The second issue is just plain craziness. They all play audio starting at the chapter marker when using their chapter pickers. No other audiobook player I’ve tried does this. This means if you’ve got chapter markers closer than 1 second before the start of audio, the start of the chapter audio is probably clipped if you’ve the chapter picker to start a chapter. Why does the App not play the audio starting at the chapter marker when a chapter is selected? It seems to either suppress or skip the audio starting at the chapter marker to somewhere between 1 to 2 seconds later. It needs to show download progress!! The first issue was almost a deal killer for me (and why I’ve given it 2 stars). The file just suddenly appears after it has downloaded. There are two issues that are keeping me from rating this App 5 Stars: 1: Chapter starts are clipped when using the chapter picker and 2: when importing an audiobook (I use OneDrive), no cloud download progress is shown. Hats off to you devs, I couldn’t live without your app. Wish more apps were no-nonsense and focused on functionality like BookPlayer is. Not anymore! Now I can bookmark before I get into bed and then put on my sleep timer, so I know my place is somewhere just ahead of the bookmark.ĥ/5. Before I found BookPlayer I would drift off and the book would keep playing all night-plus I’d lose my place. I have terrible insomnia and listening to audiobooks helps me sleep. The design is simple and lightweight, so it can play on my older devices as well as my new ones without lagging, and has quality-of-life and functionality features I can’t live without specifically the bookmark feature and the sleep timer capability are exactly what I needed. It doesn’t try and get me to buy anything. I vastly prefer playing my own raw audio files rather than having Audible or similar “serve” my books to me, and BookPlayer does just that.
