About it
PocketTales plays the audiobooks already on your phone. Point it at a folder and it builds a library with covers, authors, series and chapters, from single M4B files or folders of MP3s.
It remembers your place and speed per book and has the details that matter on a long listen: smart rewind, skip silence, a sleep timer that fades out and restarts on a shake, bookmarks with notes, and Android Auto. Nothing leaves the phone.
