Used permissions:
Phone state: Used to pause during a call. Otherwise it would only be muted by the system.
Wake lock: So the playback isn't stopped when you turn off the screen. Also for some optional features like disabling the auto screen off during playback.
Disable keyguard: In case you only want to use the app's lock screen. (And not return to the default one afterwards.)
Write/delete external storage: For some internal files in <your music dir>.MortPlayer, e.g. cached folder covers from ID3 tags and track order lists.
Internet: Ads (AdMob)
Boot completed: To reschedule the alarm clock after boot.
Tasks: For "StopService" activity, to avoid the system returns to player afterwards

|
[2013-10-03] A Google User: Best audio book player He has thought of everything. I consume a lot of books via audio and this is a great tool. It would be perfection of it had playback speed controls. I was actually surprised that it wasn't already there! |
|
[2013-10-02] A Google User: Crap!! Crap!! |
|

[2013-09-27] A Google User: Problem with Galaxy Note 3 Hi, I was using MortPlayer Audio books with my Note 2 to listen audio books. Great program Unfortunately it seems that the program is not working well with my Note 3. When pressing the Play/start button , nothing happens. The icon changes from pause to start but the player doesn't start. I have to rewind or to fast forward manually to be able to start the player button. I have tried to uninstall and reinstall the program but it doesn't help. I like this program because you can choose a specific folder to listen to your podcasts. it doesn't scan your entire device and you can add bookmarks to your files . Daniel |
|
[2013-09-26] A Google User: Briallant The best audio book reader yet. |
|
[2013-09-26] A Google User: Mort on Note 2 I listen to Audiobooks at least 2 hrs per day. I use both MortPlayer Audio Books & Audible. I've both for about 3-4 yrs. On Audible, I can listen faster by adjusting the playback speed. I recently downloaded Astro Player Pro so I could get the speed control, but there are other things about that app that I don't like. I would love (and pay for) a speed control for MortPlaayer Audio Books. Please add SPEED CON TROL.. 5 Stars anyway. It is a great app. |
|
[2013-09-24] A Google User: Great app Get it free and no ads! |
|
[2013-09-24] A Google User: I use for Howard Stern shows, and I love it! Download this! |
|
[2013-09-23] A Google User: Nice I really like that it organizes by folder. |
|
[2013-09-22] A Google User: Tried alot I have tried slot of audio book players and stuck with thus one. I would recommend it to everyone. |
|
[2013-09-21] A Google User: Awesome Perfect for audiobooks |
|
[2013-09-21] A Google User: Not what I expected This only plays audio books you already have. |
|
[2013-09-19] A Google User: No reason to use any other Audio book app. |
|
[2013-09-18] A Google User: Overly complex with clunky interface This app seems to have every feature under the sun, but at the end, the execution isn't there. No elegance, weak, unintuitive design and UI. Uninstalled. |
|
[2013-09-17] A Google User: The app is great, just takes a bit of getting used to. It is an odd way to set up a music player |
|
[2013-09-17] A Google User: Excellent for audio books If only there was a PC version just as good! |
|
[2013-09-17] A Google User: Love the folder-based structure. And it has all the controls you need. |
|
[2013-09-15] A Google User: Nice This is exactly what I was looking for.. Thank you. |
|
[2013-09-15] A Google User: No notification controls Why are there no nice playback controls in notification like in MP Music? At the very least, pause is needed. Bluetooth headset pause control handling is buggy. Would be nice with a menu option to send in ideas and issues, unless there already is one I couldn't find. |
|
[2013-09-12] A Google User: Its supposed to be a book. How about if I wanted to read the percy jackson series. What? It going to play a ringtone I dont think so.POOR. |
|
[2013-09-11] A Google User: N |
|
[2013-09-09] A Google User: Kinda difficult to use But thats not my problem. My problem is that my existing player can play the books so i have no need for this app. |
|
[2013-09-09] A Google User: Best audiobook player ever! |
|
[2013-09-07] A Google User: Great App Very practical and easy to use. Love it. |
|
[2013-09-05] A Google User: Notification problem When i get a notification, current file starts over. Sometimes, another book starts instead. Problem started when i upgraded to Android 4.3. On Android 4.2 or lower works great, best player ever |
|
[2013-09-04] A Google User: Cool stuff Userful thing |
|
[2013-09-03] A Google User: Best application books Has everything you could want works wonderfully can't say enough. |
|
[2013-09-02] A Google User: Love it! Just what I needed. Really appreciate the through configuration settings. |
|
[2013-09-02] A Google User: The Best around! |
|
[2013-08-31] A Google User: Love this app Awesome app!!!!! |
|
[2013-08-29] A Google User: Great App for listening to Audiobooks I lov,e, love, love this app! It's great for listening to audiobooks. It allows you to pick up right where you left off. You can bookmark sections that you may want to refer back to. When you restart, it goes back a few seconds so you can be refreshed as to where you left off. I haven't used all of the features but coming from using an MP3 player to this wonderful app was a breath of fresh air not to mention I don't have to carry the extra device with me (old MP3 player). I also like that I can listen to more than 1 book at a time and still pick up where I left off. |
|
[2013-08-28] A Google User: Crashing Love this player but since the latest galaxy s4 update it crashes when opening the sound settings more than once. Also, now the equalizer doesn't work anymore and resets itself. |
|
[2013-08-21] A Google User: Love it Awesome, free audiobook player. Would love to see player controls in notification area for 4.2 and above. |
|
[2013-08-21] A Google User: Wonderful app! |
|
[2013-08-21] A Google User: Amazing app Better than Google's player. Always saves the last location of the ebook - never failed!!! |
|
[2013-08-20] A Google User: Good No complaints..I just don't need it but its a really nice audio player |
|
[2013-08-19] A Google User: Great Best one I have used so far! |
|
[2013-08-19] A Google User: Perfect |
|
[2013-08-17] A Google User: Perfect for books and podcasts! Keeps your spot so well! |
|
[2013-08-15] A Google User: Großartige App voll mächtig! vielend dank :) leider zeig google die aus unerklärlichen gründen nur nach langem suchen an :( |
|
[2013-08-14] A Google User: Excellent piece of software This software helped me manage my vast array of Audio books. |
|
[2013-08-13] A Google User: Great! Works great, never have any issues with it. |
|
[2013-08-11] A Google User: Best app 10 out of 10 |
|
[2013-08-09] A Google User: Exactly what you need for audio books! |
|
[2013-08-09] A Google User: Awesome Works well |
|
[2013-08-09] A Google User: Great Player I've been using Mort's players since I had my Motorola Q windows mobile phone since about 2007. He makes great players. I highly recommend. |
|
[2013-08-09] A Google User: Excellent Didn't have my hopes up because usually free apps are a bit dodgy, but I still can't believe how this app not only works well, but is chock full of useful features and has great options and comprehensive instructions on starting up. It even works with my phone's lockscreen playback buttons. Absolutely brilliant, perfect, and highly, highly recommended |
|
[2013-08-08] A Google User: Simply the best Tried a few Audiobook players, but this one suits me just perfectly! Use it daily on my bike trips. Never failed me once. Couldn't imagine a thing to improve this app. |
|
[2013-08-07] A Google User: Poor interface Switching between books is tiresome. Look of interface is boring. A bug on HTC One starts the wrong file... There are better options out there! |
|
[2013-08-05] A Google User: The best Works great, been using for a few years. |
|
[2013-08-04] A Google User: I have used many audio players but I like this one the best. |
|
[2013-08-02] A Google User: Great Thus is such a great app wish I had made it... Add librivox incorporation you wouldn't be sorry |
|
[2013-07-30] A Google User: Great user interface BUT ... I love the user interface. Intuitive and great organization. However, unable to increase playback speed is a deal breaker for me. Hope the dev can implement variable playback speed. |
|
[2013-07-29] A Google User: Excellent player! Excellent audio book player. I really appreciate how it jumps back a few seconds from where you left off when you start playing after pausing so you don't miss anything. |
|
[2013-07-27] A Google User: No way to speed up the reading? I haven't used this for a while and now I miss a function to speed up the reading like I use to do with podcasts. Please add this.. |
|
[2013-07-26] A Google User: pc ? is this available for pc? i love the app, even though i dont fully understand it yet, but would love to listen at home through tv via computer hdmi. |
|
[2013-07-25] A Google User: Thank you Tnx for this app:) |
|
[2013-07-24] A Google User: Stupid Stupid! |
|
[2013-07-23] A Google User: The best of all This is the best audio book player free or otherwise |
|
[2013-07-22] A Google User: Great well constructed player My go to audio book player. Listen too a few a month on mort. Love it. Auto save and play is the best! |
|
[2013-07-20] A Google User: Works great Reads ebook files very well |
|
[2013-07-17] A Google User: Best player...... very nice player out of them |
|
[2013-07-16] A Google User: I Love this App! Being an avid listener of audio-books on my daily commute, I would find it very difficult to do without this app! In fact, the only reason I'm not buying an iPhone is because this app doesn't seem to be available for IOS! |
|
[2013-07-16] A Google User: Excellent My wife recommended this player, because she uses it daily. It has a lot of features, including a sleep timer, and the ability to customize the menu screens. |
|
[2013-07-16] A Google User: great, horrible ui i like the features, i like mort's apps, but the usability is chaotic here and there are breaks sometimes in the playing order. very unintuitive. sorry. |
|
[2013-07-15] A Google User: Alright Pretty good |
|
[2013-07-13] A Google User: Up. |
|
[2013-07-12] A Google User: Excellent! Does all I need from audio book player. Well thought out, and slick. Well done! |
|
[2013-07-12] A Google User: Sucks |
|
[2013-07-11] A Google User: I'm digging this. It would be even more awesome if it could download cover art. Or maybe it does and I just haven't figured out how to do it. If so, I'll come back and give it another star. Samsung S3 |
|
[2013-07-10] A Google User: Great Great fit audiobooks |
|
[2013-07-10] A Google User: Five star for the simplicity and ease of use. Finest free audio book player. Great features. If you add speed of the audio playback with perhaps pitch correction. It would be the top apps. Its great as it is. |
|
[2013-07-10] A Google User: Good but I like smart audio book later |
|
[2013-07-05] A Google User: Excellent for audio books! Please add multiple and/or remote folder options such as Dropbox or Skydive. They all download to different locations... I either have to move the files or switch it in settings... It's the only missing element for me, otherwise would give 5 stars. |
|
[2013-07-05] A Google User: I tried to send an email to the developer... ...but it bounced back. Here is the issue I am having with the latest version: I am using the MortPlayer Audio Books app on my Droid Razr M. I have had the app for quite a while (I previously had it on a Droid Bionic) and had no problems with it. Recently however, it has been self-closing/stopping play when certain things happen (reminder alerts, for example) or after a certain period of time. I only want the app to stop when I direct it to do so, or when a call comes in/is made. N.B. It does not do this in the car dock, and is not related to battery level, as it happens with a full battery. I noticed that the latest configuration has an energy-saving feature that I cannot turn off. Could this be the problem? I would hate to have to switch players, but this is really starting to bug me, especially if I am doing something like painting or cleaning and cannot stop at arbitrary times to wash my hands and restart the app. Thanks! |
|
[2013-07-04] A Google User: My favourite Does some odd things to lock screen on galaxy s4. Sometimes the screen won't shut off after Timeout and drains battery. Also service shutdown timers don't always work. Was perfect on galaxy s2. |
|
[2013-07-03] A Google User: Works great, love the sleep timer. |
|
[2013-07-03] A Google User: EXCELLENT! THE best developer of cheap, great apps! Use it very often. Deserves your donation. |
|
[2013-07-02] A Google User: Great app |
|
[2013-07-02] A Google User: Good player, no widget An overall good player. |
|
[2013-07-02] A Google User: Audiobooks MortPlayer - Please! Please devs, would you make the word "Audiobooks" appear first? You have two MortPlayers with very similar icons, it just make sense to see under the icons clearly which one is Music/Audiobooks. Other than that, they are great folder based players. But specially this audiobook player would be 5 stars when title change. Small things could make a big difference. |
|
[2013-07-01] A Google User: Great app Easy to use and provides a basic tutorial. Works great for sorting and playing audio books. |
|
[2013-07-01] A Google User: Excellent audio book player! Tons of features, I use it all the time |
|
[2013-06-29] A Google User: Many functions. Very useful Thumbs up. |
|
[2013-06-23] A Google User: Awesome! I love apps that take full advantage of what android is able to do. Great for handling audio books, you can bookmark your spot & switch to another book without loosing your spot. Thanks developer :) |
|
[2013-06-23] A Google User: How can I get audio books on this? Not sure how to get audio books and play them. I only rated it poor because of this reason |
|
[2013-06-21] A Google User: Almost, but not quite Equalizer is a major plus. Odd band spacing, but still nice. Lack of playback speed adjustment is not nice. Uninstalled. May try again if playback speed added. Everything else seemed pretty spiffy. |
|
[2013-06-21] A Google User: Great player with excellent features However, has this app been abandoned by the developer? Nearly one year since an update. Hrmm... |
