Love itSometimes presses play instead of “skip 30 seconds back”, touch targets might need some refinement..SammmichhVersion: 2.4.5

DisappointingI expected a lot more from a $5 app that is written to take advantage of the latest iOS features. While the interface generally looks nice, it is actually less user friendly and less functional than the first party Audiobookshelf app (beta is unfortunately full and it’s not yet on the App Store). Just in the first week of use, I noticed a number of issues that really need to be addressed: * Mysterious slowdowns that bring the app to a crawl such that force closing and restarting the app was the only option (encountered while queuing multiple downloads) * Mostly unusable search; searching anything other than author just doesn’t work (searches for title and other metadata just run indefinitely, never returning results) * The interface, while pretty, is just not at all intuitively designed. Finding settings was difficult, for example.Raptorious DanVersion: 2.4.2

Super impressed & CarPlay works!I downloaded this yesterday and am super impressed! It has a very nice looking interface that is both pleasant to look at and extremely functional. Though a relatively small thing, I particularly like the more books by author and more books in the series that show up under a a book. Also, I can’t over state how exciting it is to have real CarPlay support for books from Audiobookshelf. Add on that this app is truly open source and it’s pretty hard to beat. I highly recommend this app… and already have done so to friends..TechiegeneVersion: 2.4.2

Best on store, but not better than official appHappy to support this developer, but I ran in to consistent issues with the app. Local books frequently wouldn’t play, organization in the app is non-existent, and navigation of library is obtuse. I found myself having to stop the app frequently, and finally just went back to side loading the official app for ABS. Not a bad app, and if you’re just trying to keep things local for trips without coverage it’s a reasonable option, but otherwise not a great ABS client..EverglowVersion: 2.4.5

Great appSaw some people complaining that it’s $5. This price is absolutely worth it. It’s an open source app that is filling the gap left by another open source project. A one time payment to support this project is entirely reasonable. This app integrates well into iOS and is regularly updated to improve the UX and maintain functionality with the backend that’s not directly under the maintainer’s control..MarzvroverVersion: 2.4.5

The Best Player for AudioBookshelf!The only thing that would make this app even better would be adding Apple Watch support for offline listing when I don’t bring my phone with me. I’d gladly pay a few dollars more for the option of taking my books with me on my watch..Mvance56Version: 2.4.2

Brilliant! Impressive and elegant app.I’m so impressed how well put together and smooth and full-featured this app is. It is easier to use and more stable and better integrated into iOS than Patreon or Stitcher or even Apple’s own podcast app. It’s working beautifully with my AudioBookShelf server and I couldn’t be happier with it. Amazing work!!.SchussVersion: 2.3.5

This app is game changingI have been a long time user/tester for the “official” ABS app and compared to it, ShelfPlayer is about 100 years ahead of it. Actual working Siri integration, a working CarPlay implementation, and just a clean easy to navigate UI. Spend the few bucks, you will never look back!.RevSaxonVersion: 2.4.2

Awesome work!!!I just wish I had found your app a bit sooner. Definitely a sold app if you want to move over to Audiobookshelf from other selfhosting options (like Plex who ended Podcast support no sooner than a few years after starting it)..David O in TacomaVersion: 2.4.2

Thoroughly SatisfiedI’m very happy with this app! It does exactly what I need it to, seamlessly connects to my Audiobookshelf server, and allows for offline listening. The developer has done a fantastic job with this one and appears to respond quickly when users need help..ThalachanarVersion: 2.3.6

Podcast full supportThe audiobooks section is great. However. The podcast options are mostly only available on the app, not much on the carplay. Way way better than the app audiobookshelf app..Bibin MohanVersion: 2.3.5

Works well. No pain waiting for TestFlight to kick people off the beta for official app.Using for a few days now. No issues so far. CarPlay functionality was an unexpected bonus!.User001bVersion: 2.3.4

Great App. Wish it had a Widget with the play-pause/open-book buttonsI love the app. One thing I thought was missing was the ability to clear the cache, in case I updated the metadata of some book that was currently being played. However, the option is available, it just isn’t visible on the main page. I had to go to the rightmost (search) view, and the settings button was there. The one feature that I miss vs other audiobook apps like Libro.fm or Audible or podcast apps like Pocketcasts is a widget. I wish it had a widget similar to Pocketcasts, that would take you to the book/podcast if you click on the album artwork, and had a button to play/pause the current book/podcast..IdkAtomVersion: 2.4.5

ShelfPlayer Negative Reviews

Why is SIRI the first option in car play?Why is this even a thing? I turned off SIRI in the options, but it still shows up in the app. Why are my audiobooks sorted by download time instead of my last listened to, or why isn’t there a option to sort by that in the settings? I’m going back to plappa, at least I don’t get the unwanted SIRI prompt and my books are sorted in a reasonable format..NullenvoidVersion: 2.4.2

Immediately crashesAfter working for a couple weeks, it suddenly and repeatedly crashes. even uninstalling and reinstalling doesn't help. server continues to function and stream podcasts as expected, even while I write this review. but the app does not work..No buzz offVersion: 2.4.5

CarPlay support not what I expected…Works well, CarPlay does not allow for selecting of media, I can only manipulate a title that is already playing which means I still have to pick up my phone find the title and begin it’s playback. Works well with audio bookshelf otherwise..Twidget2000Version: 2.3.5
