The only way to listen to audio books.
By far the absolute best app I’ve ever purchased. I’ve never once regretted the small cost of the app for how convenient it’s been to listen to my collection of audiobooks on CarPlay!

Needs a search function on library screen
The app is good, but the current bottleneck is vertical scrolling through hundreds of audio books to find one?

Great app
This is so helpful to organize and listen to audiobooks. It requires a few steps to get them from my computer but once you are used to the process it is very easy. Recommended. Plus, now you aren’t supporting an evil billionaire and this one is free

Great App
It’s a great app that does everything you need it to do for downloaded audiobook files, If only there’s an update that allows speed to be adjusted by .5 instead of .10 this would be a five star app!

Great
Things I wish Bound had: - smart speed to cut out silences - voice boost or EQ, some of my audiobooks are much quieter or muddy to listen to.

Great App
So easy to use and it gets out of the way to let you enjoy your audiobook.

Lacks basic functions - Can't create folders to organize audiobooks.
Why can't you create folders to organize audiobooks into folders? Huge miss for this app.

Outstanding app, essential
Great. Better than every other option by far. Well designed, works great, what more could you ask for? I essentially think it’s about as ideal as it can get. I’m Very happy this exists.

Good design but buggy
Great potential but had issues simply adding mp3s to it, so cannot recommend as is

Great
I mostly use this for language learning (audio from the program I’m using), but I’ve listened to a few audiobooks as well and I’m really happy with it. The web uploader works great. Only thing I’d add is a dark mode!

It just works!
It does what it says it does and does it well. And it has CarPlay!

Ok but could be better
This is a decent audio book player that I was ok paying for. But there is a really great free one out there that has more features that I’ve now switched back to

Great app!
Great price. Does what I need it for. Am able to easily move items from my files in iPhone into here. Like that I can bundle the separate files to go into one audiobook here. Like that it is easy to add a book cover. Would love some additional features like an “unread” option and an option for sorting the books into categories. But overall very pleased with the app; satisfied with my purchase.

Buggy mess
Riddled with bugs. Constantly keeps deleting/not showing books.

Merging audiobooks
I can put 30 different parts of an audiobook that I downloaded, and it’ll automatically sort them into chapters

Often need to restart the app
This app was pretty much perfect, but starting in iOS 17 a bug started where the app, having been backgrounded, will get into a weird state where it either won’t start playing at all or it will start playing and then stop once the app is backgrounded (starting again when you foreground the app). The solution is just to restart the app and clear whatever in memory value is not being set correctly, but it is getting more and more annoying over time.

Issues Persist
After years of owning this app and contacting the developer about issues, almost all the original problems persist. - Sometimes M4B files just freeze when trying to resume them with Shortcuts. When the app is force closed the book returns to 0. - You can't bring folders of audiobooks in. You have to navigate into each folder and select the files you need. Very impractical for series. - You can't export a book once it's been imported. - For the last two issues I suggested this a while ago: "import and export books via the Files app. (Add Bound as a source. Maybe have an inbox that you can

The best audiobook app I’ve tried
There are some apps that really change how you feel about developers, and this is one of them. Not only does this app does everything what you expected to do it does it effectively and flawlessly. Adding new books is a breeze, and it’s as enjoyable (if not more so) than other apps including Audible’s.

Love the app
Does exactly what I need it to. Plays my audio books. Isn’t choosy about format or source. Did I buy it or make it. Wish it had an applewatch sister app. So I could leave the phone at home while out exercising.

Perfect but needs iCloud Syncing
Almost perfect. If you have multiple devices (iPad and iPhone) you won’t be able to sync up over the cloud.. it’s the only thing missing imo…. Please add this and it’s a 5/5 app

Can only select individual files from apple files app
The apple files integration doesn’t support importing more than one file at a time. This is not practical if you have a large folder in iCloud you’d like to use.

Great alternative

Continuous play locked behind subscription
Continuous play feature is locked behind a subscription, don’t pay for it. Worthless without ongoing paid subscription.

Solid local media player
Does everything it says it will and looks good too. Glad I found this player. Happy with it for about a year now and no plans to look for another one. Well worth the money

THIS APP DOES EVERYTHING YOU NEED
Probably the best app I’ve downloaded from the app store. Just the fact that you can directly upload tracks over wi-fi is like changing
