Does not work offline
I downloaded several books for a recent trip. Even in offline mode app tried to connect to server and wouldn’t play downloaded books

Update broke the app
Since the app was redesigned it will not save the place of the audiobooks It is inconsistent and will usually reset the playback to the opening credits. Incredibly frustrating. The app has been updated multiple times and I’ve had hopes it would be fixed, but after months the app is unusable with audiobookshelf server. Switched from using plex as my backend and now I’m regretting it.

Beautiful
This is the only app for ABS that strikes the perfect balance between design and functionality.

Best Audiobookshelf iOS app for Podcasts
I use Audiobookshelf mostly for podcasts. I’ve tried all of the Audiobookshelf apps (to date there are 5 including this one) and I stuck with the beta official app because it was the least worse. Well shelfplayer actually feels like something in the same league as overcast, pocket cast, etc. I’m very impressed and happy. The only feature i need is the ability to add a new podcast without having to open up the mobile browser, but I suspect that’s a limitation of the API.

Don’t delete Audible!
It never stops trying to synchronise. If I select offline mode the player loses where I last left off. Pretty awful app. It only works when it’s on the same network as the library. I even went and setup Tailscale and it still can’t find the library.
