Worth it
Great app, works in CarPlay. Would be great if it could sync time stamps across devices.

The best audio book player for private collections
If you have audio books from various vendors and want to upload over Wifi, just get this app. It just works.

Issues with CarPlay
It tends to start chapters again when the car is turned off and on. It doesn't start new chapters without completely killing the app and starting again. It then looses it's place in the book. It also sometimes gets stuck and to refuses to play without killing the app.

Fantastic app for all audio files!
Great way to manage you non-Music audio files. I save podcast episodes, themed audio files by subject from multiple sources as well as audiobooks. Safely saved in my Dropbox account and seamless integration using Bound! Highly recommended.
