Ambling BookPlayer Personal
$4.55About Ambling BookPlayer Personal
The premium player for listening to audio books.
Download thousands of free audio books from AmblingBooks.com, or purchase best selling mp3 audio book titles, or listen to audio books that you already own. Never lose your place in an audiobook again thanks to the undo/redo bookmarking system.
Unlike music players which include audiobook 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 audiobook 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 hundreds of 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 also 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 Ambling BookPlayer Pro edition includes additional functionality which is not included in the Personal edition.
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.

Easy to use. Needs narrator speed adjusting capabilities. Also, an inbuilt volume booster for books with quiter recordings. Some recordings are rendered useless when on noisier public transport, even with the phone headset volume at 'max'. Smooth & reliable performance. Using SG3

Since I wrote my original review of this app years ago the landscape of player features has changed. There are some features that I would like to see added to Ambling. The top one is the ability to vary the playback speed. This is found in a number of other players, but noticeably missing in Ambling. As a result I'm changing my rating from 5 stars to 4. Once the features are brought up to par with other players I will be happy to change my rating back to 5 stars.

I've been using this app for more than a year now for playing my mp3 audiobooks. I would have liked for it to get a more "modern" look but other than that it's a great app that imports and plays audiobooks to perfection. I especially like that I can plug-in/unplug headphones to start/stop playback.

When I switched from iOS to android the most disappointing thing about it was the lack of audiobook support. This app fixed that void and then some. I have been using it for years now and have enjoyed it greatly.

I have never used an audio book app before! This is a pleasant new experience. I bought the personal app because my cellphone has only got a built in 1gb sd card and there is no way to tell the app to download to my 16gb external sd. The personal app means that I can download on my pc, transfer to my external sd card and then use read from sd card option to access the audio book. Apart from that minor hassle it's great to relax and have book read to me. The free audio books seem good so far.

I love this app but why are there two paid versions? All I want to do is add the sleep timer and I have to pay full price for Pro. Can you make an option where you can upgrade to Pro from Personal for the price difference?

Overall I am pleased with this application for AudioBooks. The only thing it is missing is the ability to adjust the narration speed like with the Audible app. Hopefully that feature will be added soon, as I have seen it requested by other reviewers as well.

Had this app for well over a year and its my best purchase yet. It automatically bookmarks where you left off in an audiobook so you can always pause and resume frequently without hassle. Or quickly jump back 15s or 1 min. Love it! Thanks for the app guys
