Losing downloaded content on device restart
Mmmx2
Updated both my app and apple device recently. Twice since then when I restart my phone all of my downloaded books were gone from the app library. The first time, I restarted the phone again and I could see the book titles but there was no content. The second time nothing at all. Very frustrating.
Doesn’t work well with Dropbox

I purchased this app mainly to use it with Dropbox. Somehow it can’t find all folders in my Dropbox. I tried various things such as re-installing the app, re-connecting my Dropbox. None of them works. I contacts the support and no reply!
Almost Perfect

iBooks has become a disaster, and I got this since it supports CarPlay. It works, but some notes: * Cover Art appears in the app but not on the car’s CarPlay screen, instead it shows a default icon for the “currently playing” book. It seems much MUCH more stable than iBooks, but why use CarPlay if you’re not going to use the screen and show the cover art? * Downloading from a network drive is wonderful, but after I download a book it drops me back out to the main directory listing, at the top. This makes me have to scroll all the way down to find where I was at again. * When downloading from a network drive I wish I didn’t have to select all the files and could just select a directory. Whether it’s “yes, download Prisoner of Azkahban” or it’s “yes, download the entire “Harry Potter series, even if that means multiple subdirectories below this one”, being able to choose a directory instead of a file (or set of files) would make life much much easier
Works well but latest update broke it

This app is wonderful when it works. Latest updates though have broken the Dropbox connection. Can only see a handful of folders now and sadly the audiobook folder is not one of them. Emailed the dev but got no reply. Hopefully they fix this problem soon. Issue seems to be with shared folders
Buggy

1. I listen mp3 from the device download folder. At the end of every file it stops. I cannot even select next file manually. Only application restart works 2. It adds all mp3 files from different folders to the single book with name “unknown”
Loses library data on restart

I purchased Bound 2 years ago and I recall it working pretty well. I recently tried using it again and haven’t had a good experience. I’m able to import audiobooks successfully via iCloud, local file import, and via the web uploader but each time I close and reopen the app, my books and location are lost and I have to reimport them. I emailed the developer 4 weeks ago about the issue and haven’t heard anything back. It’s a shame. The UI and support for importing from a bunch of different sources are both great. But constantly losing track of my library and location makes the app pretty unusable.
Please add landscape view!

I listen to audiobooks on my iPad to go to sleep and with no screen rotation, it’s very hard to use. It’s seems like a small thing, but it is a deal killer. Thank you.
Love the app, would love it more if..

.. if the audio will not just stop abruptly at the end if the timer and it will fade over a few seconds like audible it would stop the app from waking me up when i fell asleep and then the voice just stops
A few disappointments

1. No iPad app - I should have checked first. 2. I was under the impression this could steam from cloud storage, so I could update there and keep my library all in one place. The app can only download. 3. Because of 1 & 2 organizing a large library on my phone is a pain. The app UI is really not designed for organization. 4. The real feature I’ve been looking for is a way to listen to my files on multiple devices and sync the progress. This was a major bummer. I read online that Bound could do this, but I guess not :( This app has real potential, but I don’t think it’s going to fit my needs right now.
