Versions 8.* buggy
Fabrice102
This app worked very well until update 8.0: now it regularly skips the end of iTunes audiobook tracks, which unfortunately makes the app almost impossible to use. (I have audiobooks with many short tracks). Adding iTunes audiobook has also always been very buggy (very slow and I often need to do it several times, because the first times introduce duplicated tracks). Apart from these two bugs, the app is great and performs much better than Apple book app which completely drains my battery.
Version 8 removed feature and is buggy

It should just revert to v 7.9.2 until V8 is totally fixed and offers the same features. For example you could read the podcasts downloaded in the Podcast app. No more with V8. Too bad because the app has been my favorite app for podcasts for years due to all the controls and the possibility to speed down/up with precision. The bookmark feature is also essential although it has always been a bit buggy and functionalities could have been improved. But before that, please give us 7.9.2 back! (call it 8.0.2 if you wish!)
Waste of money

This app allows you to change the order of your audiobooks, which both the apple iBooks app and the Audible app do not let you do. But when you get to the end of a book, it just stops. If you are in the middle of a long drive, or a long workout, and you set the order that you want the books played, you want the app to at least have the option of a mediately going to the next audiobook.
Latest version introduces an AWESOME bug

I have been using the paid version of this app for a long time. Latest update broke the ability to copy from the newish iOS cloud file app to bookmobile. Would be nice if the dev just INTEGRATED the iOS files app into bookmobile because, hey, I wonder if people host their own audio content on the iOS cloud and then listen to the same content across a family of iOS devices. iOS: we just made sharing your content across devices. If the app dev is too lazy to integrate the hooks into iOS, you can still manually copy the content over to the app. No one: App dev: Let me break that fundamental copy functionality in the latest update. Everyone: ... App dev: And I still won’t incorporate iOS files into the app.
Sadly, it’s not good anyone.

This used to be a good player about two updates ago. But it’s buggy now. I hope I can find something better.
Clumsy, confusing, “feels engineered”

I only got this app so I could play zipped mp3 audio books without having to go through iTunes. It does that well, but it’s a complex process that requires using the web browser, a URL, or another device to push it. The app BookPlayer does it much better, and the UI is easy to navigate. The UI in this app is atrocious and confusing. And I am a software engineer, too, and can see this is like something I would make for a personal project...
Import playlists more easily please!
Faith by the word of God
This app has a lot of great features. However, importing transferred CDs through iTunes playlists requires too much tedious work, sometimes needing to relabel every track of every CD—and some audio books have 16+ CDs. If the bookmobile folks can allow for a simpler transfer of a playlist, this app would be flawless.
Quite good

My go-to audiobook app. The UI is at its best on the main reading page, which is especially nice when driving or walking. The rest of the UI is at least workmanlike, if sometimes a bit confusing. And it steadily gets better.
Game Changer

Before I started using this app, I was constantly forgetting where I was in my audio book. Now, I can jump back and forth between multiple and it always has my place, ready to go. Amazing app.
