Bound - Audiobook Player App Reviews

‼️ Please add support for Dropbox-Sync (not only download)

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.

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 100s 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 arent safe quite yet. I do like the book marking a fast downloads.

Thank you

Great app its so much simpler for me to use since almost everything i have is "in the cloud" Im 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

Use it all the time and love it.

I am an avid book reader. When I was younger I read but when you grow up you have other things to do. There wasnt time until audiobooks entered a new era! Readers that make the experience as good as watching a movie, not to mention self-help and nonfiction books that are too boring to sit down and read. Now I can listen while I cook, walk, work, drive - anytime. I listen every DAY and have looked for years for an app to compliment audible.com Bound makes it possible to keep my books available anywhere and even to lend to a family member. Bound is a flawless player, easy to use, easy to understand its just the best the best the best.

I like the idea of being able to leverage an application specific to Audiobooks. Based on the reviews it looked like a great fit for my needs. I have tried multiple times along with a reboot of the device and it crashes seconds after the download finishes. After restarting the application the file needs to be downloaded again, crash, repeat. The file is 413meg or 11hrs in M4A format. Not big compared to other books.

All of my audiobooks are in Dropbox (pro). I cant fit them all on my iPhone all at once given the other stuff I want in my phone. Using Bound solves that problem and also frees up the space I was formerly using for the subset of books I did keep on my phone before. So far, all the features Ive wanted were present in the app. The song name shows up in Control Center just like with Audible or iBooks.

The best audiobook player youre likely to find

I love this app and have tried quite a number of other audiobook apps. This plays well and smoothly and has nearly all of the important features. I imagine over time it will possibly make linking to other apps possible as well. I have even gotten other family members to purchase the app so that we can share audiobook files. Right now my only wish is that there was a step by step YouTube video explaining just how to utilize this app in accessing various types and sizes of audio files. Tonight Im having to exercise patience as I try to get a rather large M4B audiobook from Dropbox into my husbands Bound app.

The app is great when it works. Multiple times a day, however, the sound cuts out and the app doesnt work for me. Im not sure if it is my phone, but I cant see where to contact the creator for support.

I really appreciate the Bound app. I have lots of audiobooks and other audio files from various sources and this gives me an opportunity to listen without having to use my Audible app. I keep these books and audio files separate from Audible. Plus I can share certain audio files with family members (who dont have Audible) through my Dropbox and they can also listen on the Bound app. Several family members have also now downloaded the Bound app. NOTE: I did have a problem with one very long file that I had converted to an M4B format so I used it in MP3 format (even though it had a couple hundred small files) and it worked great. I just made sure all the files were in order before playing it.)

I have purchased probably five different audiobook readers and this one is my favorite. Just work doesnt have any errors its easy to add books to the iPhone via my Dropbox its amazingly good

I love Bound, but it really needs Google Drive support. This cant be very difficult to add.

Perfect for OverDrive audiobooks. Importing is easy. Nice, big buttons make it easy to control while driving. Hell of a great 1.0.

This is the perfect audiobook app. its simple to import from dropbox. the interface is minimal which is perfect. thanks for the hard work on this keep up the good work

Beautiful simple app that works. Only missing feature for me is chapters arent being read correctly from m4b.

I have been using this app every day since I installed it. I already had all my Doctor Who books on dropbox. Now I dont have to sync them to my iPhone. This is a great solution.

This app allowed me to finally stop using iTunes to put audiobooks on my iPhone. Great.
