Best Audiobook Player App for Smartphones
(MP3 Audiobook, CD and MP3 CDs)
Best Audiobook Player App for Android and iPhone
I have recommended the following applications to many of my friends that wanted to listen their Audiobooks that they either bought as a CD or as MP3 CD after they had transfered to their Smartphone.
They all wanted to find and Audiobook player that would allow them the same features that Audible application has, like: Speed up, sleep timer and keeping the Audiobooks organized.
I have tried many applications; some were OK, but I considered these two the best.
A few years back, I was thrilled to find SpeedUp for my Iphone (thanks to Angela at UTC).
After switched to Samsung I found what I consider the best application in the market today, The Smart Audiobook Player.
So I thought it would be a good idea to share with you the features of each application. I know many of you accept Audiobooks for review, and you might be wondering what’s the best way to listen to those books that are sent you as regular MP3 or Wav download files.
I will assume you already know how to transfer your MP3 books to your phone, and that you’re familiar with the App Dropbox to accomplish that.
If you don’t know how to use Dropbox, here is a good video tutorial on how to use it.
By now there might be other applications for the iPhone that can do a better job, but I a haven’t found one as complete as the Smart Audiobook Player for the iPhone yet…Hopefully they publish one in the near future.
