Tips

Enjoying the app? Leave a one-time tip of $0.99, $2.99 or $5.99. Tips do not unlock anything; they just say thanks.

Supporter $0.99 / month

An optional monthly plan with cosmetic and community perks. It never unlocks Premium features, so nobody has to subscribe to get the full app. Cancel any time in your store account.

Prices in US dollars. Local prices are set by the App Store and Google Play and may differ.

Questions

Do I need an Audiobookshelf server?

Yes. NoBookEnds plays and reads the books on your own Audiobookshelf server (or one you have been given access to). It does not sell or stream books itself. What is Audiobookshelf?

Is Premium a subscription?

No. Premium and Premium Family are one-time purchases. The only recurring option is the optional Supporter plan, which is cosmetic.

How does the free trial work?

Premium includes a 3-day free trial so you can try downloads, CarPlay or Android Auto and the rest before you buy. The trial is handled by the App Store or Google Play, which show the exact terms before you confirm.

Will speed controls or the sleep timer ever be paid?

No. Playback speed, the sleep timer and chapters are part of the free app and will stay that way.

Can I restore my purchase on a new phone?

Yes. Sign in to the same Apple ID or Google account and use Restore Purchases in the app. Purchases are tied to your store account, so they carry across devices on the same platform.

How do refunds work?

Purchases are processed by Apple or Google, so refunds are handled by them: request one through reportaproblem.apple.com or your Google Play order history.

Does a purchase on iPhone carry over to Android?

Store purchases belong to the store you bought them in. A purchase made on the App Store unlocks Premium on your Apple devices, and a Google Play purchase on your Android devices.
