That's weird that it's some sort of Trial version when I installed it from Google Play not all that long ago it was the Full version Free, to be honest I wouldn't pay for it myself although functionally it works well enough.

Personally I stopped buying from the play store altogether after losing a few paid apps.
Even if the apps do make a return (which is rare) the way the play store works means they are now classed as a new app and anyone who bought the original is out of pocket and now would have to rebuy it which as far as I'm concerned is basically theft.

As for Akimbo functionally it works perfectly for me but I'm not really into audio books the slow speed of listening tends to bore me.
The only other app I've seen anyone express any interest is Smart Audio Player, but I don't really see any major advantages over Akimbo, to be honest the ones that let you load your own files all seem to be quite ugly.

Edit: Was curious enough to find a reddit thread that seems to suggest Listen Audiobook Player is a popular choice
