Don't overlook 'Libby' by OverDrive if you get audiobooks from your library! It's not a general file player, but for library loans, it has both a sleep timer and variable speed control built right in. The timer can be set in minute increments or by chapter end. Speed goes in increments from 0.6x to 3x. The best part is it's completely free with no ads, since it's tied to your library card. Obviously, it only plays books you borrow, but for that purpose, it's fantastic and often forgotten in these conversations.
Sometimes the best feature is reliability. I've used 'Voice Audiobook Player' for hundreds of hours. It has never crashed, never lost my place, never corrupted a file. The sleep timer has always worked, and the speed control is consistently smooth. When you find an app that performs its core function flawlessly, you stop looking. That's my recommendation. It may not have a million features, but the two you asked for are implemented perfectly, and the app itself is a rock.
I think the best approach is to download two or three of the top recommendations here and try them with a single audiobook chapter. You'll know within minutes which interface feels intuitive. They all have sleep timers and speed control; the difference is in the details. Does the timer button require digging through menus? Is the speed slider easy to adjust while half-asleep? These small UX choices matter more than feature lists once the basic requirements are met. For me, 'Smart Audiobook Player' hit that sweet spot of immediate accessibility.
I see a lot of love for the dedicated apps, which is fair. But if you're a minimalist and hate downloading specialized apps, see if your phone's built-in music player has a sleep timer. Some Samsung or Xiaomi music apps do. The speed control is rarer in stock players, though. This is a last-resort suggestion, as the experience won't be optimized for audiobooks (no bookmarking, may not resume correctly). But for someone who literally needs a timer and speed for one book and doesn't want a new app, it's a possibility.

I Heard My Mate’s Mistress’s Thoughts, and Stole Her Alpha King

On my way home, I saved a witch from a rogue attack. She thanked me with a small vial of potion, which would let me hear other people’s thoughts.
That night, at the pack banquet, I heard my mate’s thoughts.
‘Serena just bought the sexiest lingerie. I need to find some excuse to ditch Aurora tonight.’
A second voice cut in, a woman’s.
‘She has no idea every time Lucian says he’s working late, he’s with me. We’ve slept together so many times now.’
‘Once I’m pregnant with Lucian’s child, he’ll have every reason to break the mate bond with her. And when he becomes Alpha, I’ll be the Luna.’
I almost laughed out loud. What Serena didn’t know was that Lucian was the Alpha’s illegitimate son. He’d never inherit anything.
I was already running through how to make them pay when another voice broke through. It came from the man standing next to Serena, the shabby boyfriend everyone in this pack looked down on.
‘How am I supposed to tell her I’m the heir to the Alpha King?’
My eyes went wide. I kept my face blank and walked straight up to him.
“Hey. Mind if I get your number?”
I could smell him on her. Low possessive growls cut through my clenched teeth. I lapped my tongue up and down the cuts along her silken flesh. Her fingers tugged at her chains as she began to moan - Book 1
"Don't close your eyes," he groaned. "Watch as my fingers take you. Watch as my mouth devours you. Ravishes you, basking in your nectar as I take what's mine" - Book 2
Book 1: The realm is hosting its annual event, Courting Day. Unmated, unmarried women, 23 yrs old and above, are paraded for the Alpha King Godric. He alone will choose who will return to the High Moon pack to live among his collection of concubines.
Mia, only 18 yrs old, never imagined that she would become of the object of the sadistic King's desires. Finding herself captured and enslaved in a foreign place, she must find a way to not only save herself but the women trapped in his dungeon.
Will she free herself? Will she find her true mate in the most unlikely of places?
Book 2: 18 years after the fall of the wicked King Godric and his witch, the children have come of age. Luna Mia has no idea what has come of the Red Witch’s promise to unleash three curses upon her family.
The youngest - Aries, awkward and naive, navigates the challenges of teenage angst as the witch’s prophecy unfolds. Unbeknownst to her, she is the object of jealousy, lust, and desire… later betrayed and sent to the Shadows to die.
Only her mate can break the blood curse. Can he save Aries in time?
Has anyone mentioned Voice yet? Because Voice is the answer. The speed slider goes from 0.5x to 3.0x, and it's buttery smooth. What I love is that you can set a one-tap button to your favorite speed—mine's 1.7x for most narrators.
It also supports OPDS for getting books from online catalogs, which is a nice bonus if you use certain... unofficial libraries. The developer is active, and the app just keeps getting better.
Hmm, I should really look into this. I've been using the default music app for my audiobook files and just dealing with the fixed speed. Seeing all these options with speed control makes me think I've been making life harder for myself. Gonna try that Voice app everyone's mentioning later.
I bounced between apps for months. Voice, Smart, Listen... they all have merits. But for Bluetooth, the consistency winner for me turned out to be 'Just Another Audiobook Player.' Yeah, that's its real name. It's on F-Droid and GitHub. It's super lightweight, and because it's simple, there's less to go wrong with the Bluetooth stack.
I had weird delays with other players where I'd press 'next' and it would take a second. This one is instantaneous. It's not as polished visually, and the library browsing is basic, but if the primary interface for your listening is your Bluetooth controls, not the phone screen, then this app's simplicity becomes its greatest strength. Highly recommend for the tech-savvy who want control.
The notification control is part of the package. A good sleep timer app should, ideally, suppress other notifications or at least not have its own persistent notification interfere. Some timer implementations keep a bright notification light blinking or make a sound when the timer finishes, which can wake you up! Check the app's notification settings. Can you make it silent? Can you minimize it? The best experience is when the timer finishes, the audio fades to nothing, and the phone simply goes dark and quiet. No chimes, no lights, no vibration. That's the hallmark of a thoughtfully designed sleep feature.
