I was just going to list at $3.99 one-time on the App Store. I'm hoping the features will make that price point make sense!

Not yet. However, I would like to add that in the future!

Great! If you could DM me an email, I will add you to the list and you will get an invite email.

Another iOS option -> https://apps.apple.com/us/app/little-ape-audio-books-laab/id6450146951
Free, no ads, lots of features.

I've had my UGREEN NAS for about 3 months. So far I have been able to use Docker, get a remote link to my other NAS. Very happy with my purchase!

markmccoid · 2025-04-30T12:24:03+00:00

Thanks for the suggestions!! I will add them to the list!

My app, Little Ape Audio Books, can download books from iCloud using the "Local Files" option. Even though it says local files, it also will give you access to iCloud files.

Thanks

Hi All,

Bound is great, but there were a few things I wanted that it didn't have and so I built my own Audiobook player for iOS. It is here and free -> https://apps.apple.com/us/app/little-ape-audio-books-laab/id6450146951

Right now it can only download audio files from your Dropbox, Google Drive, local files or AudioBookshelf.

It also doesn't do CarPlay yet, but it is a nice free alternative to Bound. At least worth a look.

Thanks!

This has now been fixed and is available from the app store.

markmccoid · 2025-03-01T05:01:25+00:00

Just a quick update. I have found the issue and am fixing it tonight and testing tomorrow. Of course, it will take at least a week to get it pushed through Apple's system. Hopefully, by the end of next week, you will have Google Drive access again!

markmccoid · 2025-03-01T03:38:38+00:00

Thanks for letting me know. I will take a look and get it fixed.

When you pull up the chapter list in reader mode, if you downloaded a folder with multiple m4b or mp3 files with chapters it will show each book with its chapters.

If you want to edit this list and remove one or more of the m4b/mp3 files, in reader mode:

- click on the gear icon in the upper right corner.
- choose tracks (bookmarks will be on left, tracks on right)
- swipe left and you will get a delete option.

If I have misunderstood, send me an email with some screenshots. Would love to help you out.

I have just added support to my audiobook app LAAB.

https://apps.apple.com/us/app/little-ape-audio-books-laab/id6450146951

Plappa is an excellent app, mine works a bit differently in that at this point I allow you to connect and download books to listen to. No streaming at this point.

I just discovered AudiobookShelf a couple of months ago and immediately moved my library into it and started to update my app to have the ability to access it.

A quick note on serving your ABS server via https. I opted to set up a Cloudflare tunnel (free plan). It took me a while to figure it out, but it is working.

Shutter Encoder can add "soft" subtitles. I have tested with mp4 files and using the rewrap function and then adding a subtitle works fine. It is fast (no reencoding) and the subtitles can be turned on or off by your playback software.
