Ambling BookPlayer Lite
Free AppAbout Ambling BookPlayer Lite
The premium player for listening to audio books.
The free Lite edition now allows you to try your own audiobooks from the SD card.
Download thousands of free audio books from AmblingBooks.com or purchase best selling mp3 audio book titles. Never lose your place in an audiobook again thanks to the undo/redo bookmarking system.
Unlike music players which include audio book functionality as an add on, the Ambling BookPlayer is designed from the ground up to be an audiobook player. The Ambling BookPlayer offers unique features designed to make audio book listening easy, frustration-free and uncomplicated for everyone:
* Never lose your place again. Fully automatic bookmarking for every book, with a revolutionary intelligent bookmark history system that lets you undo or redo any change in your listening position. You can also view and return to multiple previous listening positions, effortlessly returning exactly to your past points of listening.
* Audio file management is completely automatic and hidden. All audio file transitions are seamless and invisible, and can even occur mid-chapter without you being aware of the transition. For books downloaded using the player you don't ever need to know the names of the audio files, how many there are, or which file is currently playing.
* Enjoy content using familiar Chapter divisions, not arbitrary file limits. Navigate and track your current position in both the chapter and the book.
* The library provides an uncluttered view of your Books (not the files). It plays the books in a series in the correct sequence.
* The clean interface is focused on audiobook listening. Quickly jump back when you need to listen to something again.
* Finding and listening to good audiobooks is simple and easy. You pick the book and the player automatically downloads it from the AmblingBooks.com site ready for listening.
* Use Bluetooth car stereo systems and Bluetooth headphones to listen and control the audio playback. You just need to have your phone in your pocket.
The Ambling BookPlayer will quickly become your favorite player.
The free Ambling BookPlayer Lite edition includes a time limited trial for playing your audiobooks on the SD card. The trial period starts over each time you start the player. For full functionality please get the Ambling BookPlayer Personal or Pro edition.
The Ambling BookPlayer Personal and Pro editions include additional functionality which is not included in the free Lite edition.
The Personal edition adds automatic play history tracking of hundreds of start, stop, and jump positions in each audiobook and unlimited playback of your audio books on the SD card.
The Pro edition further adds extensive Library functions, organize your books by Series, save your Favorite Bookmarks with optional text and/or audio notes, and a Sleep Timer.

When deleting audio files the .nomedia and image files are now removed, and the directory is deleted if it is empty.
An issue where starting the player sometimes went to the library screen instead of the play controls for the current book was fixed.

This free version pauses every 10 minutes! It's called TRIAL not free. No features is OK for free version, but pausing is just annoying. Wasted my time!

The button to add my own books from the phone was removed in the new interface, cannot register to AmblingBooks account through the app, the app seems to be looking for something for 10 then shows blank page. Reinstalled the app - no change. This used be my go to app for audio books, sadly not anymore.

App says to create a login account via their website. Website does NOT have registration page. Filled in contact form to find out how to register and NO response. Try and fail to use app without signing in because only receive error messages. Why would anyone pay $5 or $8 for an app that does not work? Can anyone get this app to work?

Like this app .I like it that you can listen to a sample before downloading a book because some of the readers are horrible. I wish inn app purchasing was easier and that you didn't have to go online first.

Well thought out. Saves your place accurately. Only wish it could locate audio books on its own without you having to search them out yourself.

Would like to see better mp3 tag support for titles/author. Minor tracking issue on skip forward sometimes. Allows for single or multiple file grouping and playback.

I used to use this app all the time, but now I have to use two apps because this doesn't play my books - the lite version pauses every ten minutes. Not a big deal, it plays the free books just fine. However, I NEED a sleep timer so this app will stop the books after a set amount of time! And most importantly, I can't figure out how to exit the app. Thinking about uninstalling because of that alone. Nothing closes this app.

Great app. I love the free books, the only issue it's I can't find the exit button to stop the app. Even task manager doesn't stop it.

App needs option to speedup voice. I listen to at least 5 books a month and would use Amblingbooks more if they had this option. The narrator sounds so slow and its very irritating. Everybody has different preferences and the speed of the voice makes a big difference in the listening experience.

I have to pay to listen to a book I've already paid for? No thanks., there's plenty of free apps out there & you don't have to pay to listen to more than ten minutes. I suggest you rethink you're lite version.

It is a good player, but I cant give more stars cause there is no feature to play and stop from headset and there are just english books! Please add high quality audiobooks. The prices are too high for the paid audiobooks. There is no way to move books to the storage cards

Best audiobook app I have come across that not only lets you have access to free audiobooks but also a very nice range of other audio books genres at reasonable prices. The app has a very nice style to look at and to navigate through :) So far this is my favorite (btw I'm using a Samsung Galaxy Proclaim & app works fine)

The developer seems to really want us to buy. As in, the free version pauses every ten minutes. Not cool. The only reason I actually use it is because, other that it is a great player. Remove that little feature and its a five star app. However pausing is unnacceptable.

Shouldn't need to add books from the SD card. It should see my folder structure and play the chosen book from there. It's pretty obvious if you ask me

This used to be my go-to app for audio books, but it appears the developer has simply stopped supporting it. The controls no longer work and the book lists do not load.
