The Audible app is where I listen to the vast majority of my audiobooks. I think BookPlayer has been my preference of the two. If you’re not using Plex as the source / sync mechanism, I’ve tried but not extensively use both BookPlayer and Bound. (The author has a similarly great music app for Plex-based music collections.) It’s terrific, and under active development. AirDrop doesn’t work as advertised and it apparently doesn’t pull in files directly from iTunes / Books.įor playback, given that OP has put their audiobooks into Plex, they should definitely look at the Prologue app.

I tried BookPlayer, but haven’t been able to actually load any content into it. One caution: I’m not convinced that the app gets much active development and there are occasional playback glitches on bluetooth. I like the interface so much that I’ll jump through a couple of hoops to get content in there from sources that have their own players (e.g. You can import files directly from your iTunes / Books library or from another device on your local network via a web browser. It does some “automatic” bookmarking that’s more fussy than useful, but does have a decent tool for marking a specific place you might want to go back to. It has GIANT tap targets which are much easier to navigate if you’re outside on the go or have soapy hands or whatever. I find it much easier to navigate when I’m on the move, listening while doing chores, or listening at bedtime than the other apps I’ve tried. To listen to them I’ve settled on Book Mower, primarily for the (rather opinionated) UI.

I also use Audiobook Builder to convert mp3 spoken word content into.
