"Bound is exactly what I needed to manage my DRM-free collection. I can sync my entire library via Dropbox in seconds and the CarPlay integration is flawless for my long commutes. It is refreshing to have a premium player that does not lock me into a subscription model while offering such granular control over playback speed and seek times."

"The best audiobook player for iOS. The Smart Rewind and sleep timer are essential for my nightly listening routine as they help me find my place effortlessly the next morning. I love that I can import files directly from the Files app and the interface is incredibly clean, modern, and matches the iOS aesthetic perfectly."
