Bookmobile Frequently Asked Questions
"What audiobook file formats does Bookmobile support?"
Bookmobile supports all formats supported by the Music player on the iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch.
"Can I use audiobooks imported from a CD? What about downloaded from Audible.com? or LibriVox.org?"
Yes, and from just about any other source that will play on the iPhone/iPod.
"How do I load books, podcasts, etc.?"
The audio file must be present on the phone. If you purchase audiobooks using the iBooks Store or use the Podcasts app to find podcasts, you can download the file directly from those apps on your phone. If you have books from other sources, like Audible.com, LibriVox.org, CDs, etc., then you will need to put them in iTunes on the computer you sync with, and sync your phone. Once they are on the phone, use the "Library" button to access the files. The "Bookshelf" keeps all audio you have loaded into Bookmobile previously (sorted by most recently played with v2.0) so that they are easy to find/play.
"How do I get rid of all those Pause/App Suspend/... bookmarks set for me automatically?"
You can use the ">" button on a bookmark and click the "Delete Older Bookmarks" button at the bottom of the screen. This will delete all non-customized bookmarks older than the one selected. Any bookmark that you have changed (by color, description, etc.) will not be deleted.
"Is there a sleep timer?"
Yes, look in the Extras tab.
"Can I adjust the playback speed of a book?"
There is no way to do this directly in Bookmobile, but the playback speed adjustments set in the Music player are maintained in Bookmobile, so you can adjust the speed there, and return to Bookmobile for playback.
"Why is Bookmobile not transitioning to the next part of the book automatically?"
Unfortunately, a change occured in iOS 6.0 that broke transitions in some cases. This has been fixed in v1.8. If transitions still don't work after you update to v1.8, there are two reasons that are likely:
- There must be a number (1,2,3,...) in the track title that increments. It can be anywhere in the title.
- The book parts must belong to the same album. You can set the Album in iTunes by selecting the audiobook files, and clicking File->Get Info (Cmd-i), choosing the Info tab on the panel, and typing an album title in the text field:
"The app is crashing. What do I do?"
Please update your app to the lastest version. If this does not fix your problem, please email support@freshmowed.com so that we can try to track down the cause. We put out every release with no known crashers, so any information you can provide if one occurs is greatly appreciated.
