Audio Books Downloader 1.3.0.0
For those who like to listen the audio versions of the books they love, a special utility made just for Windows Phone users is ready to help and it goes by the name of Audio Books Downloader.
Less attractive and more functional interface
When it comes to the visual aspect, this application is certainly not the fairest of them all, as it doesn't bring any elements of graphical design that could be deemed as appealing.
Instead, it makes it a breeze to access and use all the features and commands, thanks to a pretty well thought-out layout. The navigation inside Audio Books Downloader is fluent and lacks any glitches or flaws of some sort.
On the downside, you will immediately notice the pushy notifications and reminders that prompt you either to rate the app or to install and try other applications. The adverts are also included in the package and they can be just as annoying.
Effective search, with basic filtering
This utility comes with a very easy to use query engine that will make it possible for you to immediately discover the available audiobooks based on the keywords you input.
In order to have only the high-definition entries displayed when using the search engine all you have to do is check the corresponding box next to the language selection button.
Simple playback controls and options
Audio Books Downloader will allow you to play the selected files in portrait as well as landscape mode, with a slight advantage for the first one as it allows you to go trough the app's sections and carry out searches without interrupting the playback.
A limitation that needs a purchase or the installation of third-party apps from the same developer to remove refers to the length of the playable audio, which is limited to 80 percents.
Download audiobooks and keep them organized in playlists
A neat feature of this application is the support for playlists, which means that you can create several collections of audio clips and have them ordered as you please, ready play at a moment's notice.
The downloading functionality includes the ability to handle several concurrent transfers and with all the audiobooks neatly stacked inside Audio Books Downloader you will no longer need an active Internet connection to listen to your preferred books.
