iOS & Android Roadmap

My main use case for the buttons on the lock screen is when I didn’t hear hear/understand something, i.e. short jumps. The previous/next chapter buttons can’t be used for this as the jumps would be too long.For what it’s worth, I don’t think I’ve ever used the next/previous chapter button even with the phone unlocked (I either use the seek button or the chapter list).

Seek backward/forward on lock screen rather than previous/next chapter

Steering wheel buttons when using android auto control chapter skip, but it would be better if they controlled the short skips (e.g. 10s back/45s forward). Other audiobook apps do it this way. At least make it an option.

I’ve fallen for this a few times now. In the app the seek backwards-button is on the left, but in the notification center it’s on the right. This makes it easy to accidentally click the wrong one.Notification:<img data-width="100%" data-align="left" alt="" data-featurebase-content-key="68934de06d2685d1f439ff00/post/69bcfc549cb8cc383f1de055/019d0a38-f818-7a12-8547-d9e7f9398500/b64u-aW1hZ2UucG5n.png" src="https://68934de06d2685d1f439ff00.featurebase-attachments.com/c/post/69bcfc549cb8cc383f1de055/019d0a38-f818-7a12-8547-d9e7f9398500/b64u-aW1hZ2UucG5n.png?X-Amz-Expires=3600&amp;X-Amz-Date=20260327T160000Z&amp;X-Amz-Algorithm=AWS4-HMAC-SHA256&amp;X-Amz-Credential=DO801TYC4FCVNNEKURKM%2F20260327%2Ffra1%2Fs3%2Faws4_request&amp;X-Amz-SignedHeaders=host&amp;X-Amz-Signature=39addcd95155e38050b3e10266f327e504e1e0e34ebe29bb0d885ad15420f5e3" data-featurebase-content-filename="image.png">App:<img data-width="100%" data-align="left" alt="" data-featurebase-content-key="68934de06d2685d1f439ff00/post/69bcfc549cb8cc383f1de055/019d0a39-47df-7f8f-930b-e66453d4db68/b64u-aW1hZ2UucG5n.png" src="https://68934de06d2685d1f439ff00.featurebase-attachments.com/c/post/69bcfc549cb8cc383f1de055/019d0a39-47df-7f8f-930b-e66453d4db68/b64u-aW1hZ2UucG5n.png?X-Amz-Expires=3600&amp;X-Amz-Date=20260327T160000Z&amp;X-Amz-Algorithm=AWS4-HMAC-SHA256&amp;X-Amz-Credential=DO801TYC4FCVNNEKURKM%2F20260327%2Ffra1%2Fs3%2Faws4_request&amp;X-Amz-SignedHeaders=host&amp;X-Amz-Signature=b27c8c380fc1eb6e562d3dedc18b8cb9f1e361f522e66d9d0f70275790bd6bec" data-featurebase-content-filename="image.png">

Seek buttons have different places in app vs notification

Love the app but one small problem is that when I play my downloaded books (offline) no cover art appears, just a blank grey square. The art loads in the list view in downloads, just not when you click on the individual books.

I installed Bookcamp on my Sony NW-AW306 (a Sony 'Walkman' running Android), but after I add the Plex account, I'm stuck at the 'Fantastic, you're now signed in' screen and my library isn’t presented. App version 2.1.2.

One screen to show all the downloaded books, and allow you to delete them, would be helpful when you have a very large library.

Is it possible for bookcamp to integrate with waze (similar to how audible and castbox do)

If you press 10s back mid chapter it works correctly, but if you press it at the beginning of a chapter such that it would bring you to the previous chapter, it seeks all the way back to the beginning of the previous chapter. Found while tapping it back 10s at a time trying to find where I missed something and then it starting jumping back chapters every tap (since it was at the beginning of the chapter every seek).

I'd like to be able to bookmark my place in a book. Sometimes I fall asleep listening, but sometimes it takes a while so a bookmark is really handy in finding my place

Similar to how Kindle does it.If I jump to somewhere in the book (usually just a few seconds in situations where I didn't hear what they said), instead of waiting until it catches up to where I were, or trying to seek forward again, it would be nice with a button to instantly do this.I know there is the play history but I meant not hidden in a different view. Ideally it would be on the lock screen even. And like Kindle one could have a "stay here" button too if the seek is not temporary.

"Undo seek" / button to go back to where I were

Not sure if this is possible with plex but it like to be able to use plex profiles to grant my kids access to a subset of my library. They would have the app on their phone but when I logged them in they would O ly have access to books for their profile.

User Profiles & Subset Filtering

Some people are very in-character when narrating so they end up screaming, and sometimes they whisper. This can be pretty annoying, especially when I'm trying to sleep. Either I don't hear things, or I get a heart attack by someone screaming.I’d love a feature to make the sound more consistent so the quieter sounds are louder, and the louder sounds are quieter. This seem to be called dynamic range compression. One might need to do something else too, to e.g. reduce/remove the sound of breathing.

Bookcamp 3.0 is the biggest update yet, coming to iOS and Android. It reimagines core features, introduces new capabilities and integrations, and refines every interaction based on your feedback since 2.0 launched.Current status: I'm putting the final touches on what I believe will be the best Bookcamp experience yet, and creating a new website to showcase everything in detail before diving into active development.Expected release:<ul><li>Promo Website — October</li><li>iOS &amp; Android apps in beta — Fall 2025</li></ul>Follow our <a target="" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" class="link" href="https://discord.gg/invite/vtrft97">Discord</a> for sneak peeks and beta testing opportunities!

⭐️ Unveiling Bookcamp 3.0

As soon as I open the app I would like to be able to hit one button and resume my audiobook. At the moment I have to select the book then play it.

Faster Resume on App Lauch

When using Android Auto and viewing the library to choose a book it would be good to have some sort of short list. Like the Want to Read or Downloads section.

When stacking too much listening while listening offline, it’s possible for the logs to become unsyncable because the request becomes too large for the server.

Syncing too much listening history at once will fail

In some cases, already completed books can reappear in the “Continue Listening” section because the “completion” log for the given book goes missing.

Already completed books show up in "Continue Listening"

Currently there is the “voice boost” which can increase the volume of the book separate from the system volume. I’d like to be able to adjust the volume down too.My use case is that I’m usually playing white/pink noise while listening to a book when I’m trying to sleep. By being able to adjust the volume separately from the system volume I can make sure neither the narrator nor the white noise is too loud/quiet.Currently this isn’t an urgent problem for me since I use Samsung which has a Sound Assistant app where I can set separate volumes for different apps, but other vendors might not have such apps.

Next Release

Allow lowering the volume too, not just increasing

I often listen to books when I’m trying to sleep, so I set the auto-pause. I want to avoid lights when I’m trying to sleep, so I usually shake the phone to postpone the auto-pause.If I’m too slow at shaking the phone, i.e. the book managed to get auto-paused, I have to unlock the phone and set the auto-pause again.I’d like to be able to shake the phone to reset the timer for ~1 minute after it has auto-paused. That way I don’t need to unlock the phone etc.

Reset auto-pause timer after book has already paused

When using the auto-pause timer (usually used to pause when falling asleep), we can shake the phone to reset the timer.I’d like an option to make it more sensitive to shakes. When I’m trying to sleep I don’t want to put a lot of effort into shaking the phone to prevent it from pausing. For another app I’ve used I have it set to the most sensitive I can so I just have to slightly tilt the phone. This makes it easier to get woken up by having to use much muscles to postpone the pause.

Configureable shake sensitivity for postponing auto-pause

One very nice feature I’ve appreciated elsewhere is auto-rewind based on how long the book has been paused.For example:<ul><li>Resuming after a pause of of less than 1 minute rewinds the book 0 seconds</li><li>A pause of at least 1 minute rewinds the book 10 seconds</li><li>10 minutes or more → rewind 30 seconds</li><li>1 hour or more → rewind 5 minutes</li></ul>Ideally the times would be configureable, as well as the whole feature.This makes it easier to get into the context of where one paused, and once I got used to a feature like this it was hard to go without it.

Variable auto-rewind after pause

I'd love to be able to use this app at night, but cannot because it wakes everyone up with haptic button noises. Only seems to be a problem on the main app screen player. Mini buttons on pull down drawer or when collapsed in app are nice and quiet.

Add options for haptic off

To boost engagement with the new feedback hub, it should be accessible through the app (most likely the <code>…</code> menu).

Add link to Feedback Hub in app

sync progress with Hardcover, mark book finished when complete. I would also like a way to create lists in hardcover and link them to Bookcamp.
