Book Mower Audiobook Player 3.7.6
Free Version
Publisher Description
Thousands of details have been considered in pursuit of a single goal: make getting, playing, and managing audiobooks a delightful experience.
Precise Control:
Sliders are difficult with long audio. If you mis-slide, you can't get back to where you were, making it very easy to lose your place. For this reason, Book Mower has no position scrubber. Instead, the app provides customizable skip buttons: jump by specific amounts in either direction.
A Driving Mode makes listening to audiobooks in the car safer. The screen becomes tap-to-play/pause and swipe-to-skip.
Book Mower continues playing in the background after leaving the app, and automatically transitions between parts of books.
Automatic Bookmarks:
Book Mower will keep track of your progress with automatically created bookmarks. Events, such as chapter transitions, interruptions (like phone calls), and app suspensions, get bookmarked. Just tapping Pause will create a bookmark also, so you don't have to do anything special to create one. Then, if you customize any bookmarks -- change their name, color, position or notes, -- they become permanent, and you can export them as HTML/CSV/Text.
The Sleep Timer has features like shake-to-add-time, auto screen dimming, and it bookmarks when the timer started and ended, so you can easily pick up where you dozed off.
Playback Speed Controls offer fine-grained adjustment, with non-linear increments: from slightly faster to double speed.
Book Mower works great with remote controls, like Bluetooth or Apple headphones. With any audio, you can play/pause remotely. If you listen to DRM-free audiobooks, you can also skip +/- 30 seconds, and create bookmarks even while the app is backgrounded.
Complete control over audio files:
- Reorder parts/chapters.
- Rename audiobooks and parts/chapters.
- Cover artwork can be added or replaced -- just a simple copy-and-paste of any image from web or photo library. Use hi-res images for Retina display devices.
- Download/delete/re-download audio files whenever you want.
Redirect audio output with AirPlay support.

Version 3.7.6
This app has been updated by Apple to display the Apple Watch app icon.
Alright, I'm still working on a major update, but I've found this feature too useful to hold up...
Pin Drop/Play:
There's a new "push pin" icon on the main screen that creates a "Pin Dropped" bookmark. Once that has been tapped, a "push pin play" icon is available, which will, you guessed it, play from the dropped pin location.
Why is this useful? Well, let's say you're done listening to an audiobook, and you hit pause, and put your phone away, but something happens that causes the audiobook to start playing again without you noticing (bluetooth, "pocket dial", etc.). Sometime later, you open the app and discover you're not where you expected, so you have to dig through the bookmarks to find where you last paused. With the Push Pin, whenever you're done listening for a while, you "drop a pin", then it doesn't matter what happens, when you open the app back up, you push the new "push pin play" icon, and you're right back where you left off. Or, perhaps you want a simpler method to create custom bookmarks, without having to wade through the sea of Pause or auto-bookmarks to find the one to customize. Just drop a pin (no need to pause), and customize it later (they're gold colored, so they're easy to find). Or, maybe you want to play a particular section of the audio over and over. Just drop a pin at the start location, and hit the "push pin play" button to get back to it as many times as you like.
When you customize a "Pin Dropped" bookmark, a new bookmark is created, so you don't lose your "pin".
