User Reviews

Users like the clean UI, easy file import via Wi‑Fi, and fast, flexible playback (including 3x speed) with cross-book speed. The free tier is praised for not imposing a hard listening limit. However, stability issues, unreliable resume from the lock screen, absence of bookmarks, buggy upgrade flows, missing/weak format support (M4B chapters, cover art), and restrictive free-library access significantly hinder the experience.

Pros

Easy-to-use layout and clean UI.
Quick and reliable file import via the Wi‑Fi website, with fast transfers.
Supports playback up to 3x and keeps speed across books.
Free version reportedly has no time limit on listening.
Sleep timer feature and remembering last position after relaunch (improved with updates).

Cons

Frequent crashes and stability glitches (including during deletion and playback).
Lock screen pause resume is unreliable and there is no bookmarking feature to easily return.
Pro upgrade flow is buggy; upgrade prompts and licensing not consistently recognized.
Missing or weak format/feature support (no proper M4B chapter handling, limited cover art, and basic organization).
Free-version limits (two books) and library access gaps; claims of 11,000 free books not accessible and iTunes access blocked.

I like the layout and the simplicity of the app, I wish it could play .m4b and that it would pull the cover art from the files I uploaded

I like to import my mp3 files and listen to them. SmartBook is by far the easiest app to use. The way of transferring using the website is clever and works very fast. The app can also find png’s in order to have a book photo which is nice. It also knows the order of your book spot on. Overall does everything I need :)

Wanted to love this app, but unfortunately, when I pause from the Lock Screen, and then switch over to the actual app (or Vice-versa), it does not remember the pause location, and I’m reverted back to the previous position. It’s quite frustrating, especially since there is no option to add a bookmark to get around that issue. It defeats the purpose of having an audiobook app if I have to search for the position I left off at every single time. I do appreciate that this app is offered for free! Also, I like that the audio settings (speed and volume) carry over from Book to book—I don’t have to reset it each time. And it’s great that there’s no time limit on how long of a book I’m able to listen to for free.
