Independent evidence report
Evidence and review signals
This is where the page changes from an app-store listing into an evidence report: findings, important reviews, pricing and a dated history.
What we measured
Each line is a measurement published as a measurement, never a verdict.
Each line is a measurement, published as a measurement. Where we have not looked, the line says so rather than reading as a zero.

Themes reported by reviewers
No theme reported
Counted from the reviews we have read for this app. "No theme reported" means no theme reached our reporting threshold — it is not a finding that nothing is wrong with this app, and we do not say it is.
Five-star share of ratings
80–89% five-star
Arithmetic on the stores' own published rating counts. It says nothing about why the ratings fall where they do.
In the package we scanned
No package has been scanned for this app, so nothing is published about what it ships. That is an absence of evidence about the app, not a finding about it.

“Everything I wanted, nothing I didn't — Just a simple, great audiobook player at a fair price. The only thing missing, but not a big deal, would be a simple controls widget because I use those a lot.”
“Go-to offline audio player — Bound is great. The web uploaded feature makes it incredibly convenient to load up audio files. Playback controls and UI are clean, reliable and intuitive. No subscription nonsense. I highly recommend this app.”
