Audiobook and Podcast Player Reviews

Does not work

Bark2

Get an "add book" on screen. Press and it brings up iPhone audio books. Press a book title and app disappears. No guide or help at website

Awesome app. Very detailed and full of features found nowhere else. Even a dead man's switch to make it pause when you fall asleep. How clever! Wish: load all parts of a book at one rather than individually.

Perfect

Awesome App!

The adjustable reading speed for audiobooks works great for studying, especially when you need to slow something down to take notes

update destroyed it

Whatever the developer did regarding DRM files made it so that the player no longer displays the chapter list for DRM protected files.

bookmarking doesnt work

Pictoushead

annoyed that i paid for this. My frustration was with the stock media player that always reset or didnt remember where i was with audfiobooks when i switched to music so i bought this app since it is supposed to remember where you were. It doesnt and sometimes resets itself to random spots in the story. So basically i spent money for an app that doesnt actually do what it is supposed to. I do wonder if this is something to do with bluetooth effects though

Solves iOS’ huge fail of not recognizing chapters

#1 problem solved, 5 stars just for that. Requests: Beautified UI iPad app

As unreliable as it can be

The reliability is the issue - if creators were not able to do practical UI, they at least could make it not jamp back randomly, many they ?..

Works well for what it does

My main requirement was an audiobook player with adjustable playback speed over 2X. That requirement was totally met as you can adjust playback in increments all the way up to 4X. Increments are in tenths so you can really fine tune a playback speed you are comfortable with. I have had problems with other apps of not bookmarking correctly so that it looses your place in the book, no problem here in that regard.. So based on that alone I am happy with this app and will continue using it since I listen to a lot of audiobooks and have particular requirements. Now as to the reason this is not a five star rating. 1. There is only one way to get content into the app, synching it to iTunes. No option for Dropbox or other forms of synching wirelessly and you can’t even upload to the app directly via iTunes. 2. The UI provides plenty of options, but graphically is rather odd in it’s conventions. Was not sure what one of the buttons even did. 3. There are some interesting settings available. The one I wanted most was to be able to fast seek in increments. The option seemed available, but I could not use back/forward on bluetooth headset to skip. if I enabled “Skip instead of fast seek” it would move between chapters. You could enable the volume button to act as fast seek and that worked. So I would like to see improvements in this area and the ability to create your own bookmark. Still its playback speed controls are better than all the other apps I tried.

Great player

After trying probably 10 other apps that claimed to do it, this is the only player I have found that goes over 2x playback speed without skipping. Fantastic, thanks!
