УЖАС!
ужасное приложение,нормальных книг для ребёнка нету,одна звезда!
Superbe. Presque parfait
Très très bien. Il manque cependant la baisse graduelle du volume à l'expiration de la minuterie pour s'endormir. Merci
Well that was underwhelming
I can’t believe I paid $20 for an audiobook that downloaded all as one track instead of in chapters (which, via my library’s app, this same audiobook IS in chapter segments) AND it doesn’t auto save my spot. Because, who doesn’t love trying to find your place in a 12 hour track by random scrolling or bumping forward in thirty seconds segments? I like that you can purchase a single audiobook without a subscription. That’s the only good thing I can find about this app. Even the search tool to find the book I wanted sucked. I should have heeded that red flag.
Great for a lover of old radio
Got the app today, and the first 5 Free Books where either not free or unavailable. I then tried the old show from the 50’s Texas Rangers etc, tested a few and the sound quality was excellent. Tried playing one once I turned off internet and it still played, so I’m loading up on a bunch to listen to on a 23 hour drive (find radio stations fade in & out). So overall some good content but may have to search for it.
Great discovery
I haven't become totally fluent with this app but have had a great experience with it. I've discovered new books and narrators that keep me fully engaged. I highly recommend this app.
Wouldn’t open
I tried several times to open librivid and all I got was catalog error. Then tried the other two options got the same thing. 🤔😢not a great start at all. Deleting
Excellent App
Love the selection of audiobook titles available. And the music! Just downloaded a playlist of 300 songs, with great gems among them. I’m living this Audiobook app!
No difference between free and paid version.
I downloaded the free version which referred to a library of 500,000 titles, then paid for the premium version, which referred to. Library of only 300,000. Then I toured both free and premium. I would not buy the premium version, again, as it I get more on the free version.
App logo looks like a butt
The app logo looks like a butt passing wind
So many choices all genres!
So many great choices from audiobooks to all the great works to current releases I love this site!!!
Terrible
Absolutely terrible! Purchased a book for $25.99 and it struggles to play it. App is constantly freezing.
Good
Works well
Unreliable
Format is dysfunctional. It constantly resets the book. And sometimes I can’t even play the book.
Not sure
Seems to be making me write a review before it will download a book.
Best app ever
I listen to Audio books every night. Very relaxing, I sleep better and fall asleep much easier.The selection of books and podcast are great. There free and no advertising!
not sure
I don’t know about this app. Does it have any viruses because I cannot afford a fix.
Good choices
This app has already supplied me with several free books that I have listened to. I went straight to the section that was for free books and jumped right in. The downloads come faster than from Audible. I have liked the readers. The only problem is that it is difficult to find some books directly through a search. It can take a while to get to the book or author you are interested in. On the other hand, you scroll by things you might not have thought to look for and discover pleasant surprises. This is good for me as otherwise I can get in a rut.
Love the concept but disappointing in function
The app sticks at a certain point and doesn’t allow you to start from where you finished last. Doesn’t matter whether you’ve listened to 3 hours it freezes at 0 or 1:12.39 seconds for example. So you only get to hear from beginning or 1:12.39. If you fast forward to where you were it goes back to zero. Upsetting.
Great but only plugged in
Drains my battery rapidly. Even with notifications and all the options off. When I run this app locked screen also.... I can expect having to charge my dead battery on my phone within 40min from a full battery. Only app that does this. Hope an update will fix this otherwise I’d give this a 5 star
Agree with BobsWifeAmy!
Every detail of the listening experience is covered to perfection. If I were a developer, I don’t think there’s a thing I would change! Best app for listening for any reason you feel the need to shut out the noise of the world while traveling, working around the house, etc. And the biggest bonus: it’s free unless of course you gravitate to the premium book list! Love this app!
Not happy
Free books are nothing great. Why am I only allowed one book to download in two months. No thank you
Extensive selection of free books
I love to spend my busy time listening to stories. I have found such a wide genre of free story on this app. Just love it.
The New Magdalen
Predictably beautiful.
Who’s writing these negative reviews?
I’ve used this app and the no-ads one for the past few years every single day and the negative reviews just aren’t true. The app doesn’t freeze- it has unlimited bookmarks and downloads, all the LibriVox books- 15,000 of them are FREE, and it’s fantastic! I don’t know if the people writing the reviews just don’t know how to use an app or what, but it’s not the app’s fault. I wonder if they have actually communicated with support or just literally came right on here and wrote a negative review. This all means everything to me. I can’t imagine my life without it. Please don’t let the negative reviews discourage you. Try it for yourself.
Do not download
This app is terrible. I downloaded it think it would give me so many books that are read to me. It won’t even let me download any of them. It just keeps saying unavailable every Tim I try. This is a piece of junk.
Great!!
I really enjoy using this app! There are many options of different readers to choose from but this is not the app for more modern books. This is specifically for classics.
Regular
Es fácil de usar pero tiene muy pocos libros en español.
Useful
Of the hundreds of apps on my phone, this is the one I use most often. This wasn’t always the case but I find myself in a better mental disposition now that I’ve mostly eliminated social media and MSM, returning to music and venturing into the audiobook realm. There are lots of free selections along with the library of books to purchase.
Bug
Continues to tell me that cellular data needs to be turned on in settings. Phone is connected to data and settings are correct. Please fix this annoyance.
Suspense
Appreciate the old radio shows and variety of entertainment.
It’s the best
La mejor app de audiolibros q he encontrado 👌🏻
Terrible interface for visually impaired
I have been visually impaired for 30 years and have generally been delighted with improving technology. Unfortunately, after purchasing a new iPad, my Audible app no longer functioned. This app does not allow me to change speeds easily, the placement of icons are non-standard, and the interface if very poor.
Audiobooks
Love catching up on the classics for free!
Good App
Great app. Got through the American classics for free.
Not working
There is nothing in it
it’s free
I can’t argue with free! i won’t ever be short of listening material now as I knit, sew, hook rugs or drive!
Love this app!
Great to listen to while passing time at work!
Boo
I was SO excited when I got this app but it does NOT have ANY instructions, so I can not search anything at all AND, all of the books I want to listen to are NOT free. Do not download this app!
Science of getting rich
Great read
