Undulib app good for
This app does what it says. I wanted something for play my audiobooks and a bunch of audio plays. With a simple tagging of my files, I take advantage of this app. I wouldnt mind a new feature of playlists but otherwise this is a perfect 5/5.
Nice and simple audiobook player, no fancy bells and whistles.
Works very well, with an absolutely gorgeous user interface! Couldnt be happier with it.
Great app, but I wish we could speed up stuff that we add in from iTunes.
Some bad moments
Doesnt display any audiobooks I already have in my music library on my device.
The most recent update moved audiobooks and audio dramas into iBooks, which apparently has troubles with cover art and chapter titles. This led me to searching for an alternative, and to this program. Drawn in by the screenshots of the Big Finish Doctor Who Audio Dramas (which I frequently listen to), I decided to give it a try!
It works wonderfully well. It allows the dramas and books to be separated rather easily, which is great when you have a mix of both. They are then arranged by series, and it supports cover art and chapter titles for each individual episode properly (similar to the way iMusic did prior to 8.4). It is able to run in the background while other apps are opened (something that iBooks seems to have trouble with), displays and holds position properly, and allows seeking. When I went to try the app, it even picked right up where I left off in the episode I had been listening to through iBooks!
I can also use the controls in my car for it, which seemed to be a problem for some third-party apps. The chapter titles display properly on the cars radio as well. I dont usually use the Sync voice commands with books, so I didnt test too many. It did recognize the "Pause" and "Play" commands properly. Presumably others would function as well.
Definitely worth checking out if you listen to many audiobooks or audio dramas!
I got this because I was not happy with the way the iBooks app plays my audiobooks and audio dramas. This app plays them the way I would expect an audiobook player to work and as a bonus it allows you to separate audiobooks from audio dramas. Also, its great to finally be able to read the names of the chapters.
When apple released the new update to support apple music, they broke the audiobook functionality when they moved that to ibook. THIS has fixed the issue, and allows me to enjoy my audiobooks again. Thank you!!
I hated the move of audiobooks from Music to iBooks. Functionality of iBooks is terrible right now. Undulib seems to restore most of what was lost. Love it. Only item I still need is playback at 1.5x and 2x. Website shows that will be added in upcoming update. Cant wait!
Fixes the issues I had after the recent update in iOS that moved audiobooks to iBooks. So now I can display my chapters in a readable way and having dual time lines showing remaining time in both the current chapter and the entire book is a helpful feature.
