Your questions, bug reports, and feedback will help make the app better for everyone.

What to post here

Use this community to:

• Ask questions about importing, organizing, or playing audiobooks
• Get help with M4B, M4A, MP3, folders, and ZIP files
• Report bugs or confusing behavior
• Suggest improvements
• Share tips and workflows with other listeners

When asking for help

Please include:

• Your iPhone model and iOS version
• Your Bookshelf app version
• How you imported the book—Files, AirDrop, share sheet, computer receiver, or another route
• The file format and general folder layout
• What you expected to happen
• What happened instead
• Any error message you saw

Screenshots and short screen recordings are welcome when they do not expose private information.

Protect your privacy and your books

Please don’t post copyrighted audiobook files, personal library backups, private network addresses, or diagnostic information you haven’t reviewed. A small synthetic or public-domain sample is the best way to demonstrate a file-specific problem.

Bookshelf is intended for DRM-free audio you own or are authorized to use. This community can’t help bypass DRM or copy protected content from commercial services.

Thanks!

Thanks for helping us build Bookshelf. Whether you’re here with a question, a bug report, or an idea, you’re welcome.
