Great but wishing for some features. Bound has been my go-to app for quite a while now. It’s simple, I can add files easily, and the option to edit book data or cover art in-app is super nice. I’m finding myself wanting a way to add shelves or collections as time goes on though. I’ve added emojis to titles to quickly find books I want to group together but this isn’t ideal. Also I’d love to have Bound on my iPad too and be able to sync playback but I don’t think that’ll be happening.

Losing downloaded content on device restart. 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.

Use it every day. The are some tools that simply make your life better because they do everything you need in exactly the way you need it. Bound is like that. Connection to cloud services is incredibly valuable. Speed adjustment in fine increments. Even easy importing of cover art within the app. And they continue to update it as needed. Thank you!!!!!

Best audiobook app I've used. Almost perfect, except.... I love that it plays so many audiobook formats and integrates with my cloud storage apps. I was getting tired of converting and uploading to my phone, but if I still want to do that, there's even a built-in upload server! The interface is clean and functional allowing me to quickly get to an audiobook, but I can also drill down to see details about them. But where's the CarPlay integration?

Usually love the app, but no longer saving location when removing Airpods. This but used to be rare but it’s happening a lot more frequently now. When I remove my Airpods, the iPhone automatically pauses what you’re listening to. Cool feature. Most apps just pick up where it paused when you put them back in. Not Bound, not reliably at least. Most of the time, I jumped back to where you originally started in that listening session. For me, that can be HOURS. Very frustrating and time-wasting having to scrub through and find my location.

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

An otherwise great app with one glaring flaw. I was excited when I found this app. I used it for quite a while before I ultimately decided to abandon it and stick with the stock iBooks app. It has a great design, and its super simple to import audio from a number of cloud storage providers. I had to give up on it because of one glaring flaw. I would be listening to an audiobook on my morning commute. When I arrive I would pause the track, then bookmark where I was. When I left work 8 hours and went to resume the audiobook from my bookmark, it wouldn't be anywhere near where I had left off. It would be as much as 10 minutes ahead or behind where I had bookmarked. This is less of a problem in a book with shorter tracks, but a lot of mine have 10-20 minute tracks Until this is fixed, I would recommend against using it. Pros: -Easy to import audio -Easy to edit media -Simple, clean design Cons: -Audio drift

Fantastic!. I will start by saying in the entire time I’ve owned apple products (more than 10 years) I have actually paid for less than 5 apps and have reviewed about the same amount. So safe to say I only download free apps, and I don’t leave reviews. I had been using the book player free app for a couple years to play my downloaded audiobooks but that app is beyond frustrating. Books would never load into the app after restarting, reinstalling etc. my daughter was having the same issues with it. So I gave in and started looking around for other options. There were no free ones that seemed good at all so I FINALLY (after literally days of considering) decided to buy the Bound app. I’m as stingy with money as can be (yep, I’m poor 🤷🏻‍♀️) but I am so glad I got this app. It works flawlessly and is so crazy easy to use. My daughter now uses it as well and neither of us has had any issues (knock on wood 😬). I love that I can speed up the audiobooks and it always keeps my place when I close it. Books download into the app quickly as well. I prefer to either download my files from google drive or do the web upload where I upload my files to a specific address and it automatically downloads them to my phone. I literally have no complaints about this app. This is my favorite app of at least 100 I have on my phone. Listen to it probably 5+ hours every day. I hope this app always works as well as it has for the past 6 months because of it breaks, I will riot 🔥

Great app. This app has every convenience I could want, glad that I purchased it. There’s only one feature that I would want added, and that’s being able to make folder to put my books in, that way I’m not looking at a list of books from multiple series all mixed together. Regardless I love the app

This is the one!. Bound is now my go-to app for audiobooks. It has a simple but lovely and intuitive interface, and the ability to easily add books from the cloud (and later change title, add artwork, etc) is a killer feature. Other apps make this pretty clunky and difficult to do, if at all. The price is more than fair. Feature requests: add the excellent pCloud to online drive providers, and consider a landscape view like the iBooks app. Otherwise, this is a perfect, straightforward app that does exactly what I need it to do.

Looks great, doesn’t work quite as well as it used to. I am on an audiobook award jury, so I listen to a lot of audiobooks. Bound has been my go-to app for most of this year. It works well with iCloud (where I keep the files that I’m sent for review) and it’s easy to use. The latest update looks great, and importing works a little better (fewer skipped files than before), but I’m unable to delete audiobooks from my library. I click the trash can icon and...nothing. It’s frustrating! I have a couple of audiobooks with missing files that I can’t delete and reimport because of this issue. I hope this bug will be fixed soon...I hate having to switch over to another app to listen to these problem titles!

Perfect App. I have tried a couple of "so called" audiobook players on iPhone over last two years. This player is hands down, the best. Very elegant and simple user interface. Every feature is working as expected for me. Suggestion - it would be very useful if this app can stream audio files from Dropbox instead of downloading them all. This way, I can select as many folders from Dropbox without running out of memory space on my phone.

Thank goodness there is a good app for Apple devices. I own various audiobooks that did not come from Audible or another book service, and it has not been easy finding a good app for them. Everything I have tried has had a variety of bugs and problems. I found this app by mistake, and I am glad that I did. Although its user interface is simple, (which I happen to like), I am not noticing any of the bugs that the others had. My one suggestion would be to implement an option that allows the books to be grouped by folders as well as tags, but even though I have had the app for just a day, I am very pleased.

Can’t see Shared Google Drive Folders. I keep all my audiobooks in a Team Drive on Google Drive since my school give me Google drive storage. When I connect my Google Drive it can see the audio files in my personal Google Drive (which is limited to 15GB) but not my Team Drive where I put all my files (much higher limit). Would love if I could add files directly from a Shared Drive on Google Drive.

Worth every Penny. Love the UI and the fact that the developer has it optimized for iphone X already. My favorite part is you dont need dropbox or to sync via Itunes. Click on the web upload button in the app and it’ll give u a safari link to upload your audiobooks directly to your library. Well done! Love the app

The best audiobook app on iPhone. I’ve been using this app for about three years now. Prior to this app I tried everything under the sun, from syncing books over via iTunes to a variety of other apps. This is the only app that lets me use the standard iOS document interface to load files, while offering a great audiobook listening experience. I also appreciate the tasteful design and nice features for managing things like cover images. If you have a reason to listen to any audio files in an audiobook style interface this is the app to use. (Don’t forget that your public library probably has tons of great audiobooks on CD! It’s easy to rip them and add them to this app!)

I Love This App. Adding more to this because I cannot explain how freaking well this app works. It does everything I need and does it with no fuss. I review audiobooks for my blog and I get a lot of books sent to me. This is by far the easiest app to use to add the books. I love the web upload and use it weekly.

I love this but but... bugs. I used this app for a whole year with no problem and I really think its terrific. Recently however, it has been crashing whenever I try to add something to my library. Don't know if this a problem with my phone or the app but if it is the app I would really appreciate it being fixed because at the moment its pretty unusable for me

Playlists please. I do love this app and use it all the time for my audiobooks. It is an excellent app and I very much recommend it. The only thing that I would like to see is some sort of playlist or category management. I often am listening to several types of audiobooks -listening to what my kids are reading, listening to a fiction book on my own, listening to a non-fiction book. If I could create playlist or manage the organization in someway that it would be easy for me to I have a subset of books to look at when I need a new nonfiction or fiction or young adult book.

Very solid app. I’ve been using Bound for a few years now and it feels like a close trusty friend. It fills the niche perfectly that I need it to. My only issue is that recently it does not accept books that I download that are larger in size. It’s rejected three books with no warning message or any sign of where they went. It says that it downloaded successfully and just does not appear in my library. Aside from this quite frustrating bug, I think this app is great.

Finally! Can import audio files. I purchased some mp3 audio files to help study for my medical boards. They would load into iTunes but only as music. This is not ideal - can’t skip forward/backward easily, also total mood-killer on music shuffle. Trying to use iBooks or podcast app was challenging- changing genre (to podcast or to audiobook) was time consuming and the files were not easy to work with. This app worked seamlessly! I imported files into iCloud Drive, separate from iTunes. Each folder there could be added to this app as a chapter. All of the files came over. Quick and painless. I am very grateful for this app.

No Shared Drive option. This is exactly what I’m looking for! but I am bummed that it doesn’t support “Shared Drive” originally “Team Drive” from google. I give it 4 stars because it’s exactly what I want but lacking a certain feature. Will gladly pay again for that option but I will probably not use this till then. If it seems like it’s not a big deal it’s probably not but I have over a TB of audiobooks and it would be a pain to go into google drive to make a copy from the shared drive to my regular drive then open the app and download it. I go through about 1-2 books a week depending on the length.

Amazing app but there’s a chance for improvement. This app has everything I need! The best thing is its ability to merge separate mp3 or m4b files manually into a big one. It deserves the five stars! To developer: I have a lot of audiobooks and I wish if there was a better way to organize them like with folders. Also, It would be amazing if I can add notes to my bookmarks.

Best Audiobook App On Any Platfrorm. Bound is undeniably the best audiobook app on any platform (and there’s really no viable competition) for listening to your personal audiobook collection. Sure, Audible is great but it’s strictly for paid audiobooks from Audible. Bound reads nearly every audio format in a full featured, beautifullly rendered app that accesses your unlimited personal collection of audiobooks from any of the major cloud storage providers: Dropbox, iCloud, Google Drive, etc. Book covers are included, adjust speeds, dark mode. The developers just keep making it better. Love you guys, love this app from its early days! Thanks.

Does exactly what I need. I download mp3s of articles from Wired and New Yorker (and others) a lot and always lose my place when I pause / re open, making me skip around to find where I was at. This does exactly what I wanted - I can open mp3’s downloaded to phone or google drive (if I downloaded it on my computer), and it remembers last place I was at.

The Best. I’ve tried most of the alternatives to apple books which I still don’t like and Bound is by far the best. I never lose my place, it doesn’t do weird things like apple books and it’s incredibly easy to load onto with many different options for loading. Loading via browser is just brilliant and works flawlessly. The support is non existent and I wish the developer would make it apple watch compatible but it is controllable via my watch unless apple messes that up again which they did with the previous update but its working again with the latest. Definitely superb!

Does exactly what I want.. I wanted something that would play my drm free audiobooks, without me having to connect and try to get my phone to sync to the computer. I have cloud storage and this downloads my books from there. Sleep timer works. Speed setting works. Downloads work. Well worth a small fee.

Easier then iTunes. Great app it's so much simpler for me to use since almost everything i have is "in the cloud" I'm hardly am at my computer any way. My only thought to improve it for would be to have folders since I tend to get whole series and is somewhat of a pain to have to scroll so much

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.

Easy-upload is the highlight of this app. The perfect player. Does all the standard stuff players do but also cleverly gets around the annoying itunes file upload requirement with a local web server. Turn it on, drag and drop from your web browser. On wifi. Awesome.

I never review apps. This one is amazing.. I've been wanting to write an app that would store audiobooks locally on my phone, then keep track of where I am in each one of those books. This app has done that in the most elegant way. You can start an http server on your phone at a location where you're on the same network as a desktop machine and upload files from that machine to the phone. It's painless and wonderful. My only complaint would be the file editing features within the app. For instance, I have one book that has a random chapter that wasn't marked correctly, so it's floating out on its own. Otherwise a perfect app! Thank you!

Great to use but not great to add content.. I love using the app. It has all the features I want. It is a pain to get the audiobooks on. I have had errors using the web browser transfer. Several files were skipped and I was unable to add them. When using onedrive bound app says there are no audio files when there are. You are unable to transfer books through iTunes. They only successful way I have been able to transfer books is using Dropbox. It’s unfortunate because the app itself is awesome, but it’s really sucky uploading books.

Only thing missing is a Watch app. This is my favorite audiobook player, and the only one I’ve found with such seamless support for cloud imports and built-in support for Overdrive chapters (a must-have if you listen to audiobooks from your public library). I just wish it had a Watch app so I could take my books with me on walks/runs!

Killer Feature: Cloud Storage Integration. This app ticks all of the standard boxes for an audiobook app, bookmarking, variable playback speed, sleep timer, but the cloud storage integration is it's killer feature. I can offload my huge library of audiobooks from my phone to Google Drive and still keep access to my entire library at any time. Also, playback speed is more granular than what's standard in Apple's app or other audiobook apps (I prefer 1.3x speed better than 1.25 or 1.5x). What's keeping it from being 5 stars? It really needs search & filtering capabilities in both the local audiobook library, but especially in the cloud storage. Trying to find the 3 files that make up a single book by scrolling through my entire library is less than ideal. I'd be happy to help write user stories, or join in UAT or external beta testing for these features.

I love Bound!. I’ve been using Bound for 5 years now almost daily. It’s super simple to attach to my files and even easier to listen to my books. I just started accessing my data off a shared drive. It’s almost as good as downloading my books from my iCloud Drive. So, now I don’t have to transfer them to iCloud and then wait for my books to sync. Even faster.

One of my favourite top 5 apps!. It is rare for me to actually write a review for an app but this app is fantastic! I listen to all my audiobooks via my google drive and it never fails. I can also listen to old CD books and it organises all the tracks into one listening experience. It is one of my top 5 apps and I use it almost daily.

Fantastic app!!!! No brained to buy!. I gotta day I was hesitant to buy this app. Are used to bind all of my audiobooks through a different app and then bring them into iBooks. It was very time-consuming and difficult at times. The apps never really worked quite right. Then I found this app! It’s super easy to sync with dropbox. All you do is download from dropbox and the app does the rest. Even if it doesn’t find a picture for the book you can put a picture in manually, extremely easily. I can’t recommend this book any higher!

Better than desired. Easy to use, solid performance, and useful features. Not only does this app let you download audiobooks from the most popular cloud services it also allows you to transfer from your computer via Wi-Fi. Such a useful feature.

Needs "clips" section. This is an awesome app, BUT it needs the ability to set an end to the "bookmarked" section. This is like "slicing" a start point and end point for each bookmark rather than just a starting point. Audible has this feature and it is killer. Please copy from Audible 🙂

Perfect interface for a simple function. I want to be able to listen to audio books stored via cloud service, and have been searching for an app that can do that without bloat or without pushing a subscription. I've found it. This app does exactly what I want it to do and no more - it's like finding the exact tool in my toolbox for the job. Buy it people!

Near-Perfect Audiobook Player!!. I’m a new user and I love the app! Works great for me and was exactly what I was looking for. All the playback features are perfect! The interface and file management are top-notch and flawless, but the real killer feature is the amazing cloud drive support! This is superb! Wonderful app that has replaced both the Audible app and the Apple Books app on my phone for listening to my audiobooks! One thing I would really appreciate would be if there was support for a small Home Screen widget that would open the app and begin directly playing the current book/file. This would be awesome and make Bound the best book player out there. Thanks for considering!

Great!. I used to use another amazing audiobook app that stopped being updated and no longer works. This app just as amazing! My needs are very simple, and this has them covered: - Simple audiobook playback app (no audiobook store included, I like using my own MP3 files) - Simple/easy file transfer - Fine tuned audio controls (I love 1.1x playback speed, most apps only allow 1.25, 1.5, and 2x) I especially love the web interface for file transfer, but it isn't advertised (I don't believe.) It works GREAT! I didn't know it was included until after I bought the app. Oh, and it's def a plus that the app just looks great. And I love the credits to all the open source libraries and icons used. 🤓 This app has all this covered. Great job, Tim! 👍👍👍

Missing one key feature.. This is an amazing app. I love it. But it’s missing one key feature and that’s the ability to set a global speed for books. I listen to all books at 1.5 speed and don’t want to have to change it with every book. I ended up starting a new book in the car today and couldn’t listen to it because it was slow and I couldn’t change the speed up to where it was for the last book. Add a default speed setting and this is the perfect app.

Bound. When it works, great! However, the web uploader option frequently fails. Often, thee designated web site will not load. I closed and reopened the app as well as the browser many times without success. I contacted the developer but received no help. I would love to see the malfunction resolved!!!

The best audiobook player app. It plays beautifully, handles album art beautifully, and it’s cloud integration between all platforms is perfect. Stuff i have to dispute from other reviews: I’ve never had any cloud download issues, always been able to download the full books no problem (if something happens based on your connection you can back out and go back and download what didn’t get downloaded). 2. Never had any gap in playback, that’s either your files or settings. To developer: Please add DARK MODE. Also add options to change UI color.

Just what I was looking for!!. This app is perfect for the functionality I was looking for. I find it tedious and annoying to have to sync audiobooks to my iPhone using iTunes. I was looking for a quick way to upload audiobooks to my phone directly from my mac or cloud location. This app does both seamlessly. New to using and not a lot of mikes on this app yet, but so far, loving it!! Thanks!

Life saving. Ok maybe not life saving but much easier than the awful system I had before of playing files in google drive and taking screenshots of my progress because that app rarely saved my place. Truly a clever solution for a previously cumbersome process.

Great App! Could move to indispensable with a few tweaks. I love this app and use it every day. I have a large audiobook collection and this works seamlessly with my cloud storage. There are a few features that could take this app to the next level. I love how over cast allows you to swipe the cover art to the side one way to reveal the about section of the podcast and the other direction for the audio settings. It would be amazing to have dust jacket info and audio settings easily accessible like this. Also a landscape mode would make this app much more usable in the car. The other opportunity is to be able to sort the titles based on author and genre. Please continue to work to improve this amazing app!

The best, but needs improvement. This app is carefully designed to satisfy Audiobook listeners’ needs. Few suggestions/comments: 1) at higher speeds (>1.1), the reader’s becomes somehow computerized and unnatural. I have compared thus with iBook app, and I confirmed that the sound quality drops significantly in Bound, and not in other apps. 2) for some audiobooks there is an annoying short noise played between the tracks, as the player transitions. 3) I wish I could add notes to my bookmarks and clippings.

Love it!. This app is perfect for my needs! Great-looking interface, has rewind/fast-forward buttons and bookmark capabilities. Here’s a pro-tip: if you import a multi-file book and it shows up in the app as two books, check the metadata (i.e., album, author, year, etc.). Make sure each track on your computer matches the others (except for title and track number; those should be unique). Then, re-upload files to your cloud service, wait for them to sync, and re-import them into the app :)

Much better than native app for multi track audiobooks - works flawlessly. Fantastic app. Really enjoy using it. Keep track of every position of each audiobook. Organises audiobooks that have multiple tracks into one audiobook. Much better than just using the native audiobook management in music app. Would highly recommend if you download audiobooks online and want to easily transfer them to your phone and listen to them.

Does what it needs to do.. Needed a subscription free service that would let me play some of my own audiobooks. This does the job. The only thing I would like added is a function to be able to organise the library. Have different collections etc.

THE best audiobook player. ***dear devs, please add the ability to play from Apple Watch*** I have a large personal library of audiobooks. Apps that I have used: Audible, Apple Books, Kindle, Bookmobile and multiple others. Bound is the best, by far. No searching through rubbish ex-copyright stuff, no problems re-authorising your purchases (I’m looking at you Bookmobile!)... upload to your Google drive and you are good to go. I LOVE it.

Excellent alternative to Apple’s Books. Really great app. I love the way you can import and make audiobooks so easily. Only two improvements I can really think of: 1. allow sharing of books 2. Allow download from URL; I have an online online library of zipped audiobook files which I really wish I could download directly into the app, rather than having to download them via Safari or another browser.

Awesome! Really simplified my life. It used to be such a complicated process to change the audiobooks my me and my wife’s phones. It’s amazing to have every single one of our audiobooks available at the tap of a button. Just one issue and one feature request. The download process seems a bit buggy; I can’t leave the app while downloading audiobooks, the download fails and I have to force quit the app to try the download again. And it would be good if you could start listening to the file during the download process, so you don’t have to wait for the download to complete before staring.

Great Audiobook App with an obvious UI. The UI is intuitive and through, the feature set is what you would want, and nothing more. Bound does exactly what is says on the box: plays AudioBooks.

Great. I tried many audiobook apps before risking my money on this one. Am very impressed, I can access all my stuff in Google drive without the iTunes torture. Minimalist, solid, attractive. I’d like to be able to put a label on bookmarks but can do without that for a simple interface. Highly recommended.

Really well put-together!. I’ve been using Bound for quite a long time now, and there were a few niggles in the earlier stages, but now it’s really a quite well-rounded Audiobook player, and I’m really really happy with it!! The only thing I would wish for now is for a watch app, in particular one that works independent of the iPhone. This way one could load the current book that you’re listening to on to the watch, and go out for a walk with just the watch and some Bluetooth headphones and still listen to your audiobook :)

Needs iPadOS Support!. Great app. Switched over from Audible and was able to send through web upload my audiobooks to my phone with ease. Great for iPhone, however I would like to see it come with proper iPad Pro support eventually (specifically multi-window support).

Constantly crash. App constantly crash, and most of the time load an empty library. Duration of audiobook is inconsistent, and can change between imports. When incorrect, I am unable to skip section, as it reverts to where it thinks the duration of the audiobook is.

Audio stops working every few mins. Nice app, but audio stops working every few mins and only working and restarting the app fixes it.

Great App. This app is awesome!! Although, since the new update I’m unable to delete Audiobooks... hope this gets fixed soon.

Great app!. The is a very well laid out and easy to use app! Opens up the ability to get audiobooks on to your iDevice without iTunes! Would be great if you could add Siri Shortcuts support to resume playing from the last point.

Great app. Really happy with Bound, it does what is says on the box and it is regularly updated with fixes and features.

Excellent. The best downloaded audio book player I have used by far.

Bound is rad!. I listen to a lot of audiobooks & Bound is not only an excellent player, but makes the task of adding new audiobooks to it’s library simple & straightforward. Hurrah!

Initial audiobook loading is frustrating. I have some audiobooks in Dropbox and some on my phone that I downloaded directly from the web. As there’s no iOS 11 Files.app or Document Provider support, I need to upload the books from my phone to Dropbox, then use the app to download them from Dropbox to my phone. 🤔 Also The settings menu only has a couple of options but is quite lengthy with various acknowledgements; it’d be better if these were in a sub-menu to keep things a bit tidier.

Woeful app. Lost all my audiobooks in the latest update. App has become flakier and flakier lately with the app crashing and some books not visible. Make sure you keep a backup of all your audiobooks beyond this app. Stupidly I put the majority of my books on this app with no backup. Be warned

Just simply the best audiobook player. Title says it all. Simple, easy to use, but extremely well thought and works like a charm. I love it.

Excellent Layout. The app is so pleasing on the eye. Also it’s pretty snappy and a very good option for drm free audiobooks. Wifi transfer is easy and fast. Highly recommended.....

Excellent. The web uploader is brilliant, so simple to use. I highly recommend this app.

Do NOT recommend. On iPhone, new tracks won’t start automatically within a book, so you have to unlock your phone, hard-close the app, reopen, and manually select the next track (becomes very annoying to do, especially when there are a lot of short tracks in a book). Additionally, the rewind button (key feature of the app) fails to work quite often. I shared my feedback with the developers, but they never replied to my messages or fixed the issues. I have moved to BookPlayer, which has been working much better.

Love this app. Can’t live without this app!! Only thing better would be a way to download more parts at once.

Best audiobook app. Very clean and beautiful UI, responsive and fluid. Best audiobook app available on app store for listening borrowed books from library.

Best Audio Book App. Great App, plays everything and has an easy to use interface.

Seriously awesome. Powerful app for podcasts and audio books

Web uploaded doesn’t work. Seems good but the web uploader doesn’t give an IP on iPhone 12 Mini

Highly recommended. Wonderful app, and with its Dropbox connection it makes life very easy. I've had no problems with it at all

Great!. Sync with cloud based management systems, full library control and management including grouping for unabridged tracks. Exactly what I needed to listen to my audiobook collection!

Great app - option for File sharing iTunes. I’m a truck driver and over the years listened to thousands of audio books. I used to use another app for about 3 years and was great except if I turned ignition on it would restart boom. Do I hunted for a new app and found bound. WOW it’s great dimple just get it and use it. Like I said 1000’s of books I know what to expect in a fair app and a fantastic app. This app is 100% great. One question to the author how come you can’t access the app in the list of avail apps in file sharing while using iTunes. In saying that you can install new books by a heap of other methods. Well done Tim Bruno I love it. Peter Parkinson

Great speed adjustment options!. This is absolutely my go-to for listening to audiobooks outside of Libby. I tried a bunch and none compared! If you like to fine-tune the speed your audio plays at without sacrificing clarity then this app is the right choice!

Was working well. Have been using this for a while now as CarPlay seemed to work well. Now randomly my books go blank and when I try and play one it just crashes the app. The only way I’ve found to resolve this is either re upload the book then fast forward to find my spot again. Really annoying bug.

Brilliant app. Well worth the small price. Comes with all the features you’d expect including CarPlay.

Why why why no native locations support?!. This is a great audiobook player - in fact probably the only decent one besides iBooks, with a lot better functionality. But I don't want to have to download my audiobook collection, I have it on my computer. Why doesn't this app, instead of bothering manually supporting file system apis, just implement the native file picker in iOS so we can use whatever storage apps we have installed? Or, simpler yet, use iTunes file sharing so I can simply drop my collection in. It's beyond me why this wasn't added first. I still give it four stars because I'm not one to hold stars for ransom - but I feel like it's a great app that is sorely missing a fairly obvious feature. It'd be five stars if I could just get my audiobooks in it!

Superb!. Easily the best audiobook app for iOS. The new look is excellent and the ability to sideload any audio you like from storage services is

Perfect app if it had CarPlay support. Love this app, works just as I imagined it. Integrates with google drive and downloads and plays seamlessly. And then I hook it up to my CarPlay enabled car, nope, nothing. What good is an audiobook app with no CarPlay. That’s when I listen to audiobooks. Will change my review to a 5 star immediately As soon as Tim adds this feature. Btw Tim, I emailed you about this and my email bounced back. Maybe you change update your email address on the bound website. Thank you.

Now it's perfect !. I love this app but was annoyed that it downloaded the chapters out of order requiring that I take off my mittens in -28 weather to hunt and find each chapter after the one I was listening to finished. This is especially annoying when listening to books broken up into 100's of chapters for faster downloads. The latest fix has has hurt this bug but not killed it. The chapter following 10 is 100 so their is some order, but it looks like my fingers aren't safe quite yet. I do like the book marking a fast downloads.

This is the one.. This is it guys. This is the audiobook app that we’ve been waiting for. I’ve tried (and paid) for most of them out there and this the best one. If you are using DRM free audiobooks through a cloud service — this app cannot be beat.

Great app. Great app, no sign-up required. Not cloud based, local to the phone 👍🏼

Lacks Siri integration.... I listen to audiobooks daily via CarPlay. Bound is a nice looking app, but lacks Siri integration. Without being able to pause playback via Siri, it makes controlling playback hands-free impossible. Unfortunately, because of that, I have to give it 1-star (otherwise, I’d give it a 5-star rating) and will have to go back to Apple’s lacklustre Books/Audiobooks weirdness.

Doesn’t support OneDrive Business. Overall this is a great app. Fantastic design and implementation. Unfortunately it doesn’t perform as advertised. It only supports OneDrive Personal account, if you are using OneDrive Business you are out of luck! Hope the developer can fix this in a future release.

Very useful audiobook app. I love this app. It’s really handy for listening to your own audiobooks. My favourite feature is being able to connect to my google drive. I sync my audio books from my computer to Gdrive, then I can easily download them to my phone using this app. I only wish it had a way to mark audiobooks as being finished, or archiving them somehow without actually deleting. Aside from that it’s great!

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

The Best. Changed my life

Best audiobook player on iOS hands down !. Keep it up guys !

Problem with playing audiobooks with multiple parts. This app is really great. I love the smart rewind function in it to jog your memory when you have to pause for some reason. My only problem with it, and it isn’t a small one, is that whenever I play a book with multiple parts/chapters, as soon as it is done playing one part the app refuses to play the next one. I’m only met with silence. What’s stranger still is that the scrub bar continues to progress as though it IS playing, but there’s not sound. To fix the issue, I have to close the app, reopen, and press play again and then it resumes. This is obviously not feasible when you have a book with 200 parts at 3 or 4 minutes a piece. I’ve tried contacting the devs, but have been met with no reply. I may need to switch apps if there isn’t a solution available which is shame considering the price tag on this one.

Excellent App. Works flawlessly.

App stopped working correctly after the latest update. I can no longer see audio files using one drive. Google drive works fine but all my stuff is on one drive. I emailed the developer but got no response. Still hoping for a fix.

Disappointed!. So just purchased Bound and it does not show all of the audiobooks in my Onedrive. You can’t even refresh the folders. This is extremely frustrating since all of my authors have several books in a series. One author has nineteen books in his series all are displayed in my other cloud app, but only seven in Bound. Please fix this asap or provide a refund. As this is unacceptable.

Great. I’ve tried some other Audiobook readers but this is the best. It just works!

CarPlay compatibility made it five stars!. I’ve loved this app since I got it, but was disappointed to find out it wasn’t CarPlay compatible when I got my new car. It’s interface is clean and I love that the voice doesn’t distort when you listen at a higher speed. It’s so easy to grab my books from the cloud. This was always a great app, but adding CarPlay compatibility just brought it up to the next level! Thank you for making Bound even more amazing!

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. I was looking for this app for so long. It's like Overcast for audiobooks. Imports for Dropbox. I love it. Crazy feature request: tap to extend sleep timer. I would love it if I could extend my sleep timer by another 10 mins just by double tapping my locked phone without having to wake myself up fully looking at the screen. Thanks

Amazing App - need feature to describe bookmark. This is the app I was looking for a long-2 time. It is amazing and make listening to books very easy. I highly recommend it. I would appreciate a way to add text to bookmarks to remember what I bookmarked. It should be easy feature but will make this app very-2 powerful.

Has trouble playing multiple files. I really want to like this app, but if your audiobook is cut into multiple files, there doesn’t seem to be an option to continue playing. App freezes and there is no support to speak of.

DOES NOT EXPORT FILES. BEWARE DOES NOT EXPORT

Nice App. I love the app. It makes listening to self ripped audiobooks much more enjoyable than otherwise. My only suggestion for its improvement to the developer is about the Web Uploader feature. Apparently it only works when a phone is connected to WiFi so it’d be nice if the user can be reminded when they try to use the feature while the phone is not connected to WiFi.

A must have app for audio file playback. This solves the problem of audio files not bought from amazon or connected to iTunes. Must-have especially now that they Finally have iCloud Drive support. I do wish they’d offer a plex style guide to help you make sure files are formatted correctly so they stay together with books/series that have lots of files you want to bind together in an order. The auto feature for this works reliably but there are enough problems where I wish I could know how to prep files for best playback.

Elegant and Easy. Super easy, straight to the point and nothing gets in the way. Instantly became my preferred app for audiobooks.

Great app at normal playback speed... I was hoping to replace iBooks/iTunes with this app, as I hate managing my audio books through iTunes and syncing them to my phone. Bound is great, and does almost everything right.. with the exception of playback speed. I usually listen to my audio books through iBooks at 1.25x or 1.5x speed. However when testing this in Bound, I noticed the sound quality is significantly worse, like there’s some sort of metallic distortion happening. I tested listening to the same section of an audio book back and forth at the same speed between the two apps, and Bound is not nearly as natural sounding as iBooks. So, unfortunately I’m going to have to keep using iBooks for now. Maybe future releases will be able to improve on this?

Solid App. Solid app and works well with all my audiobooks. Clean interface. Would really like to see a progress bar on the audiobook list so I know how far along im on each audibook

Broken app; Doesn’t work. Crashes when importing. Doesn’t save audiobooks

Just works!. This app is still the best non-audible audiobook player I’ve found. And the various ways to upload your audio books mean that it will work however you normally store your audio book files. Highly recommended!

Great!. Awesome audio book app. But one critical feature is missing. Car play. But other then that it’s number 1 in audio book.

Best app for playing your own books. Beat alternative to the default books app.

Excellent Player. Well designed. Easy to use and understand. Robust and fast. Keep it going guys. Thanks!

This is the best app ever written. Thank you is all I have to say

Not for iPad. I paid for this app believing its iPad compatible because its on the IPad App Store. It shows up as an iPhone sized screen and expanding it doesn't help. It doesn't rotate with the iPad either.

5 stars. Best app ever!!!

Great App. As an alternative to Audible when you already have audiobooks downloaded locally and just want to move them to your phone, there’s nothing better!

Simple yet Proficient. Fastest review ever

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

Finally perfect audiobook player. This is finally a player that syncs with google drive and Dropbox so you can import files from pc or Mac and has a sleep timer ! Goodbye forever audible !

Audio Stops. I too have run into an issue with audiobooks stopping after each chapter. It seems to work when iPhone screen is on but when it’s off the audio stops. This is a great app however this isn’t a minor issue to me. I’d be glad to adjust my rating upon a fix.

Great alternative. It has come a long way, almost like audible app.

Issues Persist. After more than a year of owning this app and contacting the developer about issues, almost all the original problems persist. - You cannot add Audiobooks while disconnected from the internet. Tapping the Files option just brings up an error telling you that you're disconnected. - 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 drop files into, that will then get organized into the format the app expects.)" On the plus side, they did introduce dark mode pretty quickly after iOS 13 shipped. So that's something!

Useless in our car. Unlike most other players, when listing our library Bound displays all three basic descriptors of a book: author, title, and length. However, it will only sort by title. If we want to see what we have by Graham Greene or find a book for a 6-hours' drive, we need to go through the list item by item. Then, once we find a book and connect the phone to the car's audio system, we are unable to play it. Our car's Bluetooth connection receives the audio fine but the car's controls cannot stop, start, rewind, or fast-forward Bound. These controls work properly in iBooks and Podcasts.

Great app. You can’t upload really long audiobooks to this app. I’m not sure what the size limit is but it’s a pretty big inconvenience. Other than that problem the app is amazing, definitely worth buying

No support - can’t upload lectures. I bought this app as a workaround to get lectures onto my iPhone and be able to play them in double speed. Although it had some hiccups, it mostly did its job. I haven’t used it in a while and now I can’t add new lectures. I tried reaching out and haven’t heard back from anyone. If I hear back and get things working I’ll change my rating. Otherwise, the app is a waste.

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 sistet app. So I could leave the phone at home while out exercising.

Where was this app all my life. Fabulous app. Simple and efficient. I have wanted a good audiobook reader ever since the first iPod came along. Bound solves the problem I always had of getting my audiobooks onto my iPhone. It is reliable and unfussy. I absolutely love it.

Needs read/unread ability. The blue read/unread dots are pointless. When you accidentally play a book or preview it, it marks it as unread. The UX is poorly thought out. Look at how Apple Books treats a book you truly ‘finished’ reading vs ‘previewed’. If not that, then at the very least give us the ability to mark us unread and put that blue dot back—as simply as swiping right (just as you swipe left to delete).

Simple, elegant audiobook player. A functional and well-designed app for getting your audiobook files onto your iPhone and listening to them. Uploaded and listened to two books so far with no problems. Tried several other apps and this was the best by far. Very pleased.

Adsterra is the most preferred ad network for those looking for an alternative to AdSense. Adsterra is the ideal choice for new sites with low daily traffic. In order to advertise on the site in Adsterra, like other ad networks, a certain traffic limit, domain age, etc. is required. There are no strict rules. Sign up!

Very intuitive and reliable application.. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a lightweight book player.

Best audiobook App. Don’t listen to a few recent bad reviews to the update (users didn’t spend time figuring out changes) - fully adjustable speed control & percentage progress are both still available.

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.

Wish I could get my money back. It got good reviews so I tried it. Doesn’t have enough functions and the ones it has don’t have much of an ability to be adjusted. I keep trying to like it because I spent money on it. I have loaded several books with no problem with web browser. The last book would only download parts 1-13 and then gave me errors with 14-20. With good is a book without the last third past.

It’s a good audiobook player. I am giving 5 stars even if it has missing the search function because I test the others and this is the easiest and most stable one for listening your audiobooks

Can’t see Shared Google Drive Folders. I keep all my audiobooks in a Team Drive on Google Drive since my school give me Google drive storage. When I connect my Google Drive it can see the audio files in my personal Google Drive (which is limited to 15GB) but not my Team Drive where I put all my files (much higher limit). Would love if I could add files directly from a Shared Drive on Google Drive.

I used to love this app. This was my go to app for audiobooks but after the last update it’s unusable. The app crashes when I try and listen to old audiobooks that I had imported into the Bound app. So for example, I import an audiobook to my Bound library, I click that audiobook and it plays like normal; however, if I want to listen to any other audiobooks in my Bound library, I click the audiobook cover and the app crashes. So the app only plays audiobooks that have been newly imported into Bound.

Does what it says, well.. Works well. Making a web server to upload from a computer is handy. Would like some features like a voice boost or smart playback speed adjuster in the future if possible.

Dropbox glitch ruins player, zero support from devs. It worked great until about six weeks ago then suddenly will only show only a single random folder from my Dropbox account. When I tried a workaround by moving an mp3 into that (again, utterly random) folder, it doesn’t show up. No contacted them for help but so far radio silence. Same problem on multiple devices, deleted and reinstalled - nothing. I just want it to work again!

Feature request. Feature request: the bookmarks are great, but please allow me to edit the title of my bookmarks. (please add an edit button when I swipe left on a bookmark)

Problem but still maybe the best?. I find this app will just stop playing from time to time and requires a restart before it will play again. I think it will stop when it reaches the end of a file. Almost as if the sleep timer was turned on. Doesn't seem to happen every time.

Perfectly fills a niche!. I have a collection of out-of-print audiobooks that I enjoy listening to. Bound makes it so easy to keep these around and share with my family when we travel!

Great audiobook app. I love Bound. It's my go-to app for audiobooks. I upload my mp3 file to Google Drive and Bound does the rest. You can also use Drop Box or One Drive. Very easy to add books. Easy interface to listen to books. I've never had a glitch or a crash with Bound. Great app.

Love this app, but…. I love the interface and it’s user friendly, but wish there were a few additions. For example, when you increase the narration speed I wish there was an updated time remaining. Also, a search bar would be helpful too.

Can’t even download a 140mb m4b file. I was really excited to use this app except for the fact that I can’t even enjoy it because as I try to download a 140mb m4b file via Dropbox, the download stops a quarter or midway of downloading and completely resets the download and it keeps looping this issue. I’d avoid this app just for this initial issue.

Just Works. I’ve been using for almost 2 years now and have imported books with multiple methods. It’s always just worked.

Best audiobook app. This app is rock solid, and I love being able to load & unload audiobooks straight from my collection on a google drive. Feature request: I’d love the option to allow other audio to continue playing so I can keep some lofi or jazz playing as a backdrop.

Great for CarPlay, love so much about it. I’m still working out the best flow to get audiobooks into this from my Synology server. Think I can make it work. I do wish I could control the app from my Apple Watch, though, like Overcast, Audible, etc. Will revise rating in a couple months.

Best Ever!. I have downloaded AND discarded more mp3 and audiobook apps than I can count or even remember. THIS one is a keeper. Great sleeper function, remembers playback position, album information, and can be modified as needed. I’m so pleased, for once. Thank you!!!

Best by far. There is no better Audiobook player in the App Store. I’ve tried them all. The latest additions added October 2019 make this app even better. I use this app daily and have never once had any problems with it. It’s like Apple once was - It just works. And it works very well.

Such a relief.. Tired of the store directories I’m just so relieved to have discovered Bound. I’ve got all my personal audiobooks prepped and sitting in my ICloud Drive and have had absolutely no problems. Could use a few more playback controls in CarPlay. Small quibbles for a great app that solves a concern!

Good reader- when it works. Currently the app stops playing whenever you close the screen When they fix that bug which just started happening I’d say purchase it

I loved it and told everyone about it.. Now it’s meh. It’s clunky and the adjustable speed has been changed to either 1, 1.5 or 2. 1.3 or 1.4 was my sweet spot. Please change back, I hate the new version. It was perfect, I don’t understand why it would be changed.

Best app I’ve purchased. This is my first review. I purchased this app a little over 2.5 years ago and have used it more consistently than any other app that I’ve purchased. Love its flexibility! Here’s to hoping that there will be a Mac app one day.

Better then audible. I’ve been an audible subscriber for 4 years and own countless books. This is a much more stable and better product for listening to audiobooks. Easy to recommend

One of my favourite top 5 apps!. It is rare for me to actually write a review for an app but this app is fantastic! I listen to all my audiobooks via my google drive and it never fails. I can also listen to old CD books and it organises all the tracks into one listening experience. It is one of my top 5 apps and I use it almost daily.

Can’t download large files. This app is really great for playback. For files of maybe 100mb and above it can’t download the files. I’ve only been able to play 1/3 of the books I’ve tried. I’ve tried both Dropbox and google drive. Also, it’s showing as using 1.2 gb even though I have deleted every audio file.

One of the better ones out there, still buggy. This is probably my favorite audiobook app as far as features go, especially the cloud storage integration. Its updates are sometimes pretty buggy, though, so I haven't been able to completely abandon my other 3rd party audiobook apps just yet. This most recent iteration isn't letting me play/pause from my BT earbuds, which is annoying, but not a dealbreaker.

This is it!. Look no further, this is the best app to play audiobooks on your iPhone. It’s smart UI somehow even manages to group multiple files from the same volume in a single file.

Incredible.. I couldn’t have made it better if I tried. This is the perfect audiobook player. Thank you for making this. Download this immediately if you hate apples audiobook player. This auto-files and sorta tracks for you. Plus adding cover art IS EXACTLY WHAT I WANT. A++++

Frustrating. Dropbox connectivity is great and all, but I ran into a couple glaring issues with this app: First, when I tried grabbing a 30 hour long audiobook, Bound only grabbed the first 9 hours of audio. Second, it doesn't pause properly! When you pause a book for a few minutes and then try to resume, the app skips at least 10 minutes, every time! Unacceptable for a paid app.

Easy transfers. Works excellently for the 40k audiobooks I got from Humble Bundles. The desktop transfer feature is insanely convenient and automatically organizes the files into their respective books.

Great app!. This is my main audiobook app. The developer continues to develop and improve the app and adding features. Thanks for fixing the play/pause bug, google artwork search and adding Siri support! Please keep up the great work and I will be happy to pay a patronage to continue supporting your app.

Great App Awful Color. I know color shouldn’t matter because this app functions perfectly but the color of the app really bothers my eyes. Wish I could switch the color to something a little more neutral! Besides that though I love this app and recommend it to everyone!

The app is freezes and crashes on ios 14.. Reached out to developer didnt hear back. Please fix it. I spent a lot of time collecting and inporting these books i cannot use the app now to listen to them.

Worth every penny & more.. Has worked flawlessly since the second I bought it. I rarely buy apps like these but I’d been having some issues with the previous app I was using and now I have no plans on looking back.

Great potential, needs to mature. Great app, super design. Please see bow feedback: Add search function on the top of page; Add iOS share extensions, to be able to send and AirDrop files; Add a local folder accessible in Files under “On My iPhone” folder, so we can just put files there from Files app; Add option to create list or folders; Custom list sorting; Better sleep timer panel, the current one looks like it does not fit into iOS system design; There are some issues with importing files, some audio files just don’t get imported at all; Full iPad support is needed; Add support for Ebooks.

Perfect for audiobooks. I listen to books every night before bed. This app handled them nearly flawlessly. Love the extra feature of adding a new cover photo of my files didnt originally have one. Good sleep settings so I don’t fall asleep and miss to much story

Would be a five star app except…. Today marks the second time this app randomly deletes my entire library and forcing me to import/download it all again. It seems to have to do with when I turn my phone off while the Bound app is active. When I turn back in everything is gone. Otherwise this is a great app but it’s a very concerning and frustrating bug. 5 star if it didn’t delete my library!

Great app. I enjoy listening to my free audiobooks while driving. Quite painless experience to add or remove books. It does need one feature... it needs to stop when other apps “speak”. I use Waze all the time and when it gives me indications, I have to rewind... frequently. Also when answering the phone.

Great app. This app fits a niche that I’ve been looking years to find. I have tons of audiobooks on my desktop but no easy way to transfer them to my phone. I also have a 1TB onedrive account. This app bridges the gap between my computer and my app in a seamless way. Wish I had this app years ago, what a time saver!

Great app but with a flaw. Overall a decent app, but it has a serious bug: the play / pause state gets out of sync from the lock screen vs the app's state. This makes taking an AirPod out of your ear sometimes not pause the app. It requires a second pause. This becomes supremely annoying and happens most days I use the app. I reported this bug in the last version but the latest update did not address it.

A good competitor for iBooks but could be better.. I've been using Bound as an alternative to iBooks player for about 3 weeks now. There are lots of things I really like (downloading from the cloud) the UI is slick and pretty easy to navigate. A few things I wish they could add are 1) a dark theme 2) time left in chapter instead of overall book 3) sync between iPad and iPhone.

Great, simple useful well-built. Well built app. Simple easy to use and reliable. Recommend you buy it for using your cloud-saved audiobooks. Seamlessly accesses and rapidly downloads from Dropbox and GoogleDrive

Folders. Folders would make it easier to sort audiobooks that belong to trilogies and are prt of a series. Sort order is also a problem with audiobooks that are a part of the series. My solution for now is to add a letter and number to the title of the book (e.g. A1 A2 A3) to sort the books.

Best Audiobook App. This is the best audiobook app hands down. I love the ability to access iCloud Drive. The controls and interface are perfect. Bound’s CarPlay support is awesome. It remembers perfectly where I stopped and the end a chapter works like a charm. I found this app a while back because Apple’s Books that seems to mess up those features every other iOS update and I got tired of reporting and fighting with it. So I evaluated several contenders. I can’t imagine how this app could be any better.

Easier then iTunes. Great app it's so much simpler for me to use since almost everything i have is "in the cloud" I'm hardly am at my computer any way. My only thought to improve it for would be to have folders since I tend to get whole series and is somewhat of a pain to have to scroll so much

Thank you for providing the solution to my problems.. I couldn't figure out why it was so hard to take my audiobook files from Dropbox and get them onto an audiobook player on my phone, but it was next to impossible. Then I found Bound, You have made my life so much better. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Only thing missing is a Watch app. This is my favorite audiobook player, and the only one I’ve found with such seamless support for cloud imports and built-in support for Overdrive chapters (a must-have if you listen to audiobooks from your public library). I just wish it had a Watch app so I could take my books with me on walks/runs!

My go to for audiobooks. This app is already solid and yet the author keeps adding great features to it. It is my go to app for listening to audiobooks because of the excellent features; there is nothing I “need” that is missing.
