Wendiwood,
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 🔥
Raygan,
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!)

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
BSteggeman,
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.
Amyherst,
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.
GeoffLau,
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!
wake,
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!
gregspiral,
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.
Kiffy,
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.
PfauxTunes,
Issue with most recent version
I love this app. By far the best audio book player I’ve found. Worth the purchase.

However in the most recent version it doesn’t seem to properly advance to the next chapter file. Once one chapter file ends stops playing even though the play pause indicator shows as playing. To get it to play the next chapter you have to select a different chapter file from the one that is supposedly playing and then go back. It didn’t do this before so something must be off….

Even with this inconvenience it is still a great audio book app and worth every penny.
