Apparently this app can access books you already have synced to your phone and which now reside in iBooks and also Podcasts although I find there is not too much wrong with the native Podcast app. I used to use Downcast, but after I had to do a complete restore and set up my phone as a new phone when I downgraded from the iOS 9 Beta, I decided to try and try some of apple's native apps where before I used third-party apps. There are still a few features I like in Downcast, but on the other hand I really like how I can use SIRI with the native Podcast app especially when it comes to the command to skip or rewind. With the apple Podcast app I can say "Skip 68 seconds and it will do exactly that so there is no need to find the correct button for a 15 second, 30 second or 2 minute time jump and I don't even have to unlock my phone to skip or rewind. Very handy when trying to skip past ads/sponsor announcements I heard a hundred times before.
I do agree, however, that I can just as easily transfer a book to Voicedream Reader using iTunes file transfer than I can sync it to iBooks and Voicedream Reader is awesome for listening to MP3 audio books, the way you access skipping, rewinding, chapters and going to a particular point in the book is done super well.

Voice dream reader in my opinion works very well for reading audiobooks. -----Original Message----- From: M.

This way, I can decide if I want this app. -----Original Message----- From: M.

He is using an app called Bookmobile. Bookmobile is a dedicated audio book and podcast player. It is designed for the true audio book enthusiast. According to the list member, it takes some time to get familiar with the somewhat unusual interface, but this solution features everything he needs: sleep timer, playback speed, navigation controls, chapter support, bookmarks, etc. Moreover, it is not necessary to copy the audio books into the app as bookmobile can access ibooks and podcast data. While it is free for evaluation, the price for the full version is $3.99. Search for it in the App Store or visit the developer's website at: http://freshmowed.com/bookmobile.html If you like it, be sure to give it a positive VoiceOver review in the App Store. Enjoy, Mark -- The following information is important for all members of the viphone list. All new members to the this list are moderated by default.
