User Reviews

Chronicle Audiobook Player is praised as the primary Android app for streaming and playing Plex audiobooks, effectively tracking playback and supporting offline listening. However, users report several issues like problems with remembering playback position, disappearing offline books, poor handling of network transitions between Wi-Fi and data, and buggy or incomplete downloads. While the simple interface and critical features meet a needed gap, bugs in functionality and premium feature accessibility hamper user experience.
Pros
  • Effectively streams and plays audiobooks from Plex servers, fulfilling a unique need on Android.
  • Supports offline playback through downloaded audiobooks, enabling listening without internet.
  • Keeps track of playback position, allowing users to resume audiobooks where they left off, which Plex itself struggles with.
  • Interface is simple and usable by many; some users appreciate features like chapter support and sleep control.
  • Continual development and willingness of users to support the app financially by purchasing premium features.
Cons
  • Frequent issues with remembering playback position, often restarting audiobooks from the beginning when selecting chapters or resuming.
  • Offline downloaded audiobooks sometimes disappear or become inaccessible, even when offline mode is enabled.
  • App struggles to maintain or re-establish connection with Plex server, especially when switching between Wi-Fi and mobile data, requiring force quit and restart.
  • Download and syncing of audiobooks often fail or stall without clear feedback, leading to unreliable offline availability.
  • Premium features sometimes do not work or become inaccessible, especially after device changes, causing frustration among paying users.

Books frequently disappear. I payed to upgrade so I can listen to my plex audiobook offline. I expected offline, meant if I don't have internet or switch between tower and wifi for internet, it won't interfere with the book I'm listening to like she I'm walking into my house. But frequently has loading screen, and offline books missing and won't resume for some time. It's getting annoying. Offline downloaded books, should always be accessible, regardless of internet connection. Please fix.

Downloads from Plex nicely. It does forget where I'm at in the audiobook way more than is acceptable.if I stop the playback and exit the app, then it doesn't remember where I was, and it starts playing from the very beginning, which is unacceptable. If there was at least a lot stating when I started and stopped with a date time I could fast forward yo there, but it's a horrible experience if you have no I idea where you left off.
