Hi There, Im Glad Youre Here!

My name is tellly and Im an audiobook app. With me you can listen to your favourite stories – dead easy, everywhere and just the way you want. Ill be your partner in crime on all your adventure trips.
I believe its all about your stories, so Im really not into gimmick and useless stuff. Thats why I provide you with all the important features for you to listen to your audiobooks the way you want it. Nothing more, nothing less.

I let you:
- Import your audiobooks in all common DRM free formats (MP3, M4B, M4A, ZIP, RAR) via web browser, RSS, iTunes, iTunes file sharing or dropbox.
- Share your stories with your friends near you. When you and your friends belong to my tellly-family, sending and receiving files is just one tap away.
- Adapt the play speed for every single audiobook. This makes listening even more enjoyable.
- Broadcast your stories via AirPlay to other devices so others can join in on your stories.
- Continue listening where you left off. I remember the last word spoken in every of your audiobooks.
- Set bookmarks, so you can listen to the most exciting parts of your stories over and over again.
- Set a sleep timer and listen to your stories until you fall asleep. When youre in the land of Nod, Ill also take a nap.
- Reset and restart your sleep timer by shaking your smartphone.
- Merge your files directly to one whole story. You can say bye to all the endless hours of gathering together your different files from various sources. Right after importing the files, I let you put together what belongs together.
- Edit your audiobooks after you imported them: author, title of audiobook or chapters and even the cover image can be changed.
- Listen to your audiobooks without ever worrying about your battery. Im really very economical.
… theres much more to discover. Let me take you on our first trip together and find out what!

You might be asking yourself why Im not for free.

Well, to let you listen to your favourite audiobooks in the most simple and relaxed way, the boys and girls from fluidmobile GmbH had to work very hard. Of course they want to offer you the best experience, so that they can satisfy all your possible needs. Therefore they have to invest a lot of time and costs to carefully work on strategy, design, development and yes, on communications as well. Your contribution and their passionate efforts will continuously improve me, so I can keep joining you on every adventure your stories might take us.

So, thats it for now. What are you waiting for? Let’s get to know each other!

Pros and cons of tellly - the beautiful audiobook player. app for iPhone and iPad

tellly - the beautiful audiobook player. app good for

This is simply the best audiobook player available. Period! I highly recommend it!
This is the only audiobook player in the app store that allows me to play my personal audiobooks that I downloaded on my own without adds! But for $5, Id like to see the option to insert a book cover as well as a few other premium features that the official Audible app offers. This app is over priced, and shouldnt cost $5, but its the only one that works for my needs.
Great audiobook player! However, for the price tag of the app it should support the iPad. I go from my phone when Im in my car to my iPad when Im at home. Proper iPad support along with syncing playback positions across devices would go a long way in making this the go to audiobook app. Keep up the great work!
Amazing app. Does everything desired. Beautiful GUI. Transferring data simplified and multiple ways to do so. Any bad review comes from someone technologically inept or whom doesnt like spending any sort of money for quality.
This the best Audiobook app ever. Beautiful, simple and all the features you want. I highly recommend it! Keep up the good work guys.

Some bad moments

This app looks great, but is not user friendly. Loading files to the app is cumbersome, and should be a lot easier considering the price I paid for it. There are better and cheaper alternatives out there. This app is pretty, but doesnt deliver.
Yeah, its pretty. Pretty useless. Could not access my audiobooks purchased on either iTunes or Audible.
After purchasing this app a week ago its updated and not compatible with iPod touch 5. Not impressed and not happy with this purchase. App is now completely useless since I dont put my audiobooks on my phone.
As an avid reader who doesnt have the time to devote to reading like I had in the past, Ive become quite the audiobook consumer. I had been looking for a dedicated audiobook player for some time since most of my audiobooks dont reside in iTunes and Im not the biggest fan of the recent changes Apple made to how audiobooks are handled on iOS devices. Ive tried a few of the other players out there and while most work, they feel like theyve been quickly cobbled together and arent always reliable. When I stumbled upon Tellly, it appeared to be exactly what I was looking for. I was a little hesitant because of the cost, but a quick response from the developer to a question I had convinced me to give it a shot. So far Im a very happy customer. The design is excellent and easy to use, getting audiobooks into Tellly from a number of different sources is simple, and the player had been rock solid. This is well worth it.
Always keeps my place. I only wish it would do a better job of finding cover art.
It operates flawlessly and I have multiple gigabytes of audiobooks stored for long drives. I would recommend adding another theme that isnt so dark. During the day, its difficult to discern the elements of the app. Id also like to see a way to order the list of audiobooks in a method other than length of book. Alphabetic or custom sorting?
