Bound - Audiobook Player App Reviews

If you enjoy listening to audiobooks, this app is a must have!!! Finally, the ability to load up my phone with audiobooks without having to sync through a cable to my computer.

Does exactly what it says and does it well. Will be my go to audiobook app

The cleanest most functional app for playing and bookmarking AudioBooks. Dropbox functionality is perfect and dead simple. Please add a sleep timer, notes and color tags for bookmarks, shake to bookmark mode (or just a larger bookmark button) and solid export options for those bookmarks notes (Dropbox) None of these are points off though. Bound does what it does flawlessly and could offer many great enhancements via in-app purchase in the future. Best in class, get it before your friends do and then rub it in their faces that you found it first.

This is the perfect app for me and has unlocked my library of audiobooks that have not had a good home on my iPhone until now!

I cant stress how long Ive been looking for an app just like this. Great job! Dropbox integration is fantastic. I look forward to future developments.

This app is absolutely amazing. So easy to add files to my Dropbox then download them to my iPhone. Thank you. Job well done.

This is what the built-in app should be.

My school offers downloads for all lecture recordings, and this app has been PERFECT! I needed an app that was easy to sync with (none of that iTunes nonsense), and NEEDED slow/fast speed of audio play back. Now I can listen to my lectures at a blissful 2x speed from my car. I would totally recommend this app to any other student in my situation!

This has made audiobooks finally a workable option for me. Bound has made it so simple to listen to audiobooks and I am finding myself using them more than podcasts lately. Great looking app overall as well. Simple and easy to use. Great work.

Much better than trying to fiddle around with iTunes. Ive wanted to listen to audiobooks for a long time, but it was always too much of a hassle. This app is the solution. Cheesy to say, perhaps - but Bound has noticeably improved my life.

This is the first app I have found that plays non drm audiobooks I actually like using. It has an appealing and thoughtful design, and doesnt lose my place in my book. There were some initial issues with book importing, but the developer has addressed all those and now the app is flawless. The app relies on Dropbox only for book importing. I do hope more options are added, like owncloud, drive, onedrive, etc. This is a really good app, I highly recommend it. Now that chapters are supported I like it even more.

EXACTLY what Ive been needing to listen to audiobooks in Dropbox. A+

Great app! Does what it says it does perfectly.

There are other apps out there with a lot more functionality. I didnt want that. I download audiobooks, I upload them Dropbox. This app is the most elegant and streamlined one Ive found that specifically plays these files.

Ive been looking for an app like this for literally 5 years. There are many ways to listen to audiobooks on your iPhone, but they all either were tied to a store/ecosystem of their own, or required syncing with iTunes. I have a large collection of audiobooks in MP3 format and just wanted an easy way to get a folder of MP3s onto my iPhone and play through them with basic audiobook controls, and this app finally delivers. Im hoping that eventually more services can be added (like iCloud Drive, or FTP). Still, this is a 5 star app already. The developer has been quick to add features since the initial release, including a sleep timer, customizable artwork, and individually customizable back and forward skip buttons.

Couldnt handle a very large, continuous file. At about 10 out of 13 hours it played me the last five minutes of a book!!!

Good design, perfect balance of functionality and simplicity.

I have a membership to an amazing Overdrive selection and this is EXACTLY what I needed to accommodate my audiobook listening needs. The only reason why I didnt give it 5 stars (YET) is because it really needs Google Drive support. Im sure many users use Google Drive as their main source of Cloud storage.
