User reviews
Doesn't automatically load books in a directory and you have to go and manually find them file by file.

I've been using this to listen to audiobooks. The user-face design is simple and easy to use. You can change the speed, pitch and boost the volume. You can select or exclude the folders where it searches for audiobooks. A maximum of 3 books can be selected. It keeps track of where you left off listening in all 3 audiobooks. The only thing I would like to request is to have an option to choose the background color. I prefer the white background before the update but found no option to change it.

It _seems_ you can only add an audiobook that consists of a single audio file. All my audiobooks are folders where each chapter is a separate file. That makes the app useless to me.
