Absolutely Amazing

Love this player. Plays everything zipped,MP3s, M4Bs, Etc. Interface is a joy, easy to use, love the book covers. 4 dollars for this player is a bargain. Use player while running, background works great. Rapid -30 seconds is really great for those moments you realize that you had not been listening. Auto pause on phone calls is really great. Thank you

Great App

The UI design is fantastic, and the reliability has steadily been improving. Im very thankful to have such a great app!!! Keep up the good work!

Easy to use

Very easy to use and customizible to suit your needs.

Smooth and excellent app

I tried a number of audiobook apps before this one, and the simplicity yet effectiveness of Bookmoblie blew them out of the water. The developer(s?) keep it updated regularly and the update "whats new" notes are always informative.

Ill be honest

this app could use a little more of cosmetic polishing BUT it works and it works WELL. Congratulations Bookmobile you are the first and only app ive ever purchased. Please do not remove any features :)! Thanks!

Great features

Makes bookmarking easy while driving --just pause and review later.

Best of the bunch

This app isnt the prettiest Ive seen but it is by far the most stable and well maintained/updated. Believe me, Ive tried almost all of them and this is the one that keeps your place 100% of the time. Every other app Ive tried messed this up off and on. The app is full featured. When a bug shows up it is addressed within a release or two and the Dev replies to support emails within a day or two. If there is a better generic player, I have not found it. I dont use the podcast portion but the book player is the way to go.

Great support

Been using this app for a few years. The support offered is fast and knowledgeable. I contacted support and received a response in a few hours.

Broken with latest iOS :(

This was hands down the best audiobook app out there - until the latest update. I have an iPhone 7 with iOS 10 and Bookmobile wont work anymore.

Best audio app

This app works very well and is easy to use. I like the customization options.

Frustrating

I got this app because I want to listen to audiobooks on my iPhone, but the normal iPhone "music" app does not remember where I left off in the book from day to day. This app remembers, which would be great if I could figure out how to use the app. But it is extremely frustrating and confusing. I put on a book that I copied from its multiple CDs, but there does not seem a way to get the app to play the CDs (which it calls albums) in order, or for me to switch from one CDs album to another within the app without out a lot of aggravating clicking and searching.

Works like no other

I use this app to listen to talks that are in mp3 format. I like the way it remembers where i last left off at. Even better, i love the "driving mode" which lets me rewind and forward with a swipe. I tried it out for a month and then decided to buy. No regrets at all.

Nice, but Quirky

Plays audiobooks well enough but has some incredibly irritating quirks. Sometimes after being paused for a while it resumes playback minutes or even hours earlier. Ive taken to only resuming playback from the history tab which always knows the furthest position. Even more strange is that playback will resume without warning when you arent even touching the phone. Very awkward when your audiobook begins blaring out during a meeting or conversation and you have to rush to pause it again while apologizing for the distraction.

Great app, broken on iPhone 6 running iOS 10

The latest update causes the app to crash at the end of chapters. Upon restart the play position is set at a previous save. Please fix. Otherwise great app, highly recommend for audiobook oficiandos.

Finally imports without fussiness!

Ive had both the developers apps for audiobooks for years and they never imported books reliably from computer, until now. Happy to see this is working well and it will now be my go to app (out of about 10 Ive bought for this purpose) o_O I hope to see something like an iCloud folder ability for this app to access similar to how Goodreads app is implemented. Thanks for the update!

Doesnt work since the update

The app stops playing at the end of each chapter. When you restart it, it returns to the beginning of the chapter just completed. It was great before this.

Doesnt play mp3

I downloaded a mp3 book from my computer. It doesnt play at all. All the other features dont matter if the basic is not there. Waste of time.

Fatal flaw

The app does not seem to remember the position. Not sure why this is so difficult? May be the developer call ask Audible or any podcast app how they do it. If this is fixed I will give 5

awesome and easy to use

Not only is this app great for audiobooks and easy to use, but their support is very prompt. Received a fix for a bug I was experiencing very quickly after I reported it. Works fantastic for use while driving.

Update

Thanks for the latest update. Was losing my find trying to figure out why my newest audiobook kept stopping after each track.
