Bound - Audiobook Player-apprecensioner

Perfect! An audiobook player for my Dropbox files, with all the good things I'm used to from the Podcast app. Frequently updated with fixes and improvements.

Edit: now fixed and working perfectly Always crashes when scrolling through time of audiobook

I love the app! But there is a bug: when I try to pause playback from a locked phone (or headphone play button) I have to press twice for the playback to stop. One press does nothing. I have an iPhone 6 on iOS 11.4.1. Tested with multiple headphones. This problem has been on older OS versions too. Could you please fix this bug? :)

So, so good. The only thing I'm missing is a dark theme, and perhaps a way to make collections/lists to separate books into series. FTP/SFTP functionality would make it absolutely perfect.

But it would have been nice if bookmarking could rewind a couple of seconds (optional?) when the button is pressed. And folders too.

This is absolutely the best audiobook app if you want to listen to your own audiobooks. The simplicity to download your book from your favorite cloud service and skip the transfer via iTunes. If you are in to audiobooks and have them ripped on your computer then this is the app for you.

Bound is super convenient for playing audiobooks and other sound files, Just airdrop from the mac and then import in bound with very few clicks. The only thing is that lately I’ve had issues where it doesn’t always move to the next track in a book. Not sure if it’s a bug or an issue with my current book, it didn’t use to happen. Anyway love the app and wish I could pay more for it!

Just got this app and fall in love with it! Awesome app, super clean and simple to use, and works like a charm!

Strongly recommended

This app has a lot of good features. Apart from the obvious it also can import books from iCloud, Dropbox and more. And what I really like is that it displays a folder of many mp3 files as a single book. Perfect if you ripped a CD book or downloaded as smaller files.

There is no shaking to add time to the sleep timer. If there were I’d give it a 5 star.

I just bought this App! Earlier today I had bought an audiobook not available on Apple/Audible on a local store. I couldn’t figure out how to copy it to my phone and the book app. Within 30 seconds of buying this App I had imported the book and listened to it. I also love that you can use this app with intention, there is no stressful algorithm which tries to distract you from listening to books.

After several years still the perfect player for my non-streaming books. Clean, simple and powerful. CarPlay integration works great. (The app doesn’t seem to appear when making new shortcuts anymore but the old shortcut still works.)

iTunes sorting tags is a must, to organize books that are part of a series of books without clutter naming. And also needs support for displaying longer titles:subtitles.
