Are there other apps to use DRM-free audiobooks on, which include the ability to bookmark?

This comes with an app that you can use which is quite nice and can do bookmarks and has a sleep timer. I use bookmobile on iPhone also, but it is not very good.

Hi! I’m the developer of Bound, an iPhone audiobook app. My app supports DRM free audiobooks with the ability to save your place and save individual bookmarks. Please check it out if you are interested: https://bound.timbueno.com/ https://bound.timbueno.com/

  Thanks. I'll buy this. I've been frustrated about having to use my SSD everytime I want to load and audiobook on my iPhone.

  Been using Bound for a couple of years, it's great. CarPlay is solid and it has upload options for any scenario. I even use https://openaudible.org https://openaudible.org on my DRM books to play them on Bound, that's how much I appreciate the clean interface. Hoping for a homescreen widget soon!

  Thank you! This is a very attractive reading app. I think I'll purchase this when Im finished with my current book. Is there a way to export the list of bookmarks to a file or email or something? I usually have to manually type them all up with other apps

BookPlayer[0] on iOS works well. Copying the files to the app needs a Mac though. Or you can use Files.app, but it is much slower. [0]: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/bookplayer/id1138219998 https://apps.apple.com/us/app/bookplayer/id1138219998

  +1 for Voice. Has exactly as many features as I want, like sleep timer, bookmarks, and a dark mode. There's no ads and it doesn't cost a dime. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.ph1b.audiobook&hl=en_CA&gl=US https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.ph1b.audiob...

  With such a horribly generic name (one that is shared by an official Google app, and 50 million other apps), I am not able to find the app at all. Do you have a link by chance?

Listen Audiobook on Android is awesome. I've been using it for years. I do worry that it might be abandonware at this point, but it works very well. I keeps all the metadata (current position, bookmarks, etc) in the AudioBooks folder (where you store your audiobook files) so it's trivial to back it up, move to a new device, or seven set up sync.
