Introducing Audra: A new iOS and Android client for Audiobookshelf

Hey everyone,

I’d like to introduce you to Audra Books, an Audiobookshelf client for both Android and iOS. But before I do, I'd like to give a major shoutout to many in this community who are absolute pros at giving feedback. You know who you are. Keep it coming.

After creating ShelfPulse, I decided to continue on to build a full player that I personally enjoy using. It’s been a ton of work to get here, but we’ve finally hit version 1.0.

Some highlights of Audra:

• Ebook Support: Read and listen in the same app.
• Aesthetics: Multiple themes to customize the look.
• Author Info: Details on authors and their specific writing styles.
• Smart Downloads: So you don't have to think about it.
• Customization: Plenty of settings to play with.
• Password: Change your password directly in the app. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
• CarPlay & Android Auto: CarPlay is live; Android Auto is coming soon - sorry.

Pricing: The core features (streaming and listening) are free for everyone. Audra Pro is normally $8.99, but to celebrate the launch, I’m discounting both Audra and Shelfpulse to $1.99 for the next 72 hours.

It’s always tough to hit version 1.0. You never truly feel "ready," but at some point, you just have to get it out there. I’m still dialing a few things in, specifically, I'm working on making the book detail page and the main player a bit more concise.

I realize paid apps aren't for everyone, and that’s totally fine. If it's not for you, try the 3-day free trial and give me some honest feedback.
