Real App Store reviews from audiobook listeners

Finally innovation in audiobook players!
Love how you found useful ways to leverage AI to upgrade how I consume and interact with audiobooks

Finally a truly modern audiobook player
As an avid audiobook consumer, I tried many audiobook apps, and Bloox really stands out. The AI features are genuinely useful. “What Did I Miss?” is great when I come back after a break, and the character tracking helps a lot with more complex books. One of the most thoughtful audiobook apps I have used.

Dev That Listens!
I listen to a lot of audiobooks, and this app has a lot to offer. The dev is also really good about listening to feedback.

Excellent
This app is everything you could want in an audiobook app. The transcribing is a great way to follow along as you read. I have only praise.

Refreshingly useful
I love this app. Not only can I import my audiobooks, it will let me read while the audiobook is playing and will even deep dive into the book and pull up information like the characters. So useful for me as I listen to a lot of audiobooks.

Transcription done right
The transcription quality is good, but what really sold me was the interface. You get the full text laid out cleanly while the audio plays. So you can read along.

★★★★☆
You asked. Bloox shipped.
Listeners asked for Audiobookshelf support and a way to chat with the book. Those requests became Audiobookshelf import and Book Chat beta.

Great
Good Google Drive integration, but need to advance manually in the account connection.

Understand the story as you listen

Bloox turns the transcript into a real listening companion: ask questions, read along, catch up, and remember who everyone is.

💬

Book Chat beta

Ask what just happened, who a character is, or whether you are supposed to understand something yet. Answers are grounded in what you have heard so far.

📖

Read along live

Follow word-level captions while the book plays. Tap a sentence to jump there, or let auto-scroll keep the text moving with the narrator.

“What Did I Miss?”

Zoned out for a few minutes? Get a short narrative recap and keep listening without rewinding half a chapter.

👥

Character help

Meet the cast, see spoiler-conscious descriptions, and spot names in the transcript so complicated books stay followable.

Character cast list with descriptions

Transcription and catch-up summaries run on-device. Book Chat is optional and sends your question plus relevant heard-so-far context to Bloox servers after consent.

Bring the library you already have.

Bloox is built for real audiobook libraries, not just tidy demo files. Import from Audible, connect Audiobookshelf, browse Google Drive, use iCloud or Files, or send books from your computer over Wi-Fi.

No account is required to play your own files, and your library stays private on your device.

Supports M4B, MP3, multi-file books, and CUE chapter markers, with smart ordering and metadata handling for the messy libraries people actually own.

Built for the way people actually listen

A smarter story layer helps, but the player still has to be comfortable at bedtime, on a walk, and after the phone rings.

Small tools for big books

Bloox is especially useful with long, complicated audiobooks: save the moment, remember the cast, recover after a distraction, and ask the book the small questions that usually pile up.

That is the real product: fewer lost threads, fewer rewinds, and more time actually listening.

What listeners are saying

Real feedback from real people.

It’s been so hard for me to keep focused when I listen to audiobooks, and using Bloox, I’m always able to keep track of what’s going on, check on what I missed when I get distracted and see who’s currently speaking. I play the books on 2x speed and look at the captions as the book is read — a perfect combo. 5 stars!

This is better than any other audiobook player I used. It has helpful features like transcription and AI summaries.
Anonymous Reviewer · App Store
I’ve been using this reader from day 1 of its development — it solved so many problems for me, especially with importing my Libation books from Google Drive, and the rate of improvement of the app is staggering. Definitely worth a shot!
Sivan H. · Beta Tester
The most secure and private audiobook player on the market. I downloaded the top 5 audiobook players out there before finding this one — this beats them all. And the real crazy thing is that despite it using AI, it costs $0. No in-app purchases, no ads, no tracking — a clear choice.

A wide player for a wide library

Some listeners buy from Audible. Some self-host. Some keep files in Drive. Bloox tries to meet the library you already have.

Import from your Audible library, keep using Libation when you want desktop exports, connect a self-hosted Audiobookshelf server, or bring standard files from cloud storage and your computer.
