A large tune up for our app, with a fix for screen locking and dimming, along with bookmarking and volume.
- First, you can now listen while locked! We know this was a huge pain so it was first on our list. The screen also dims as you listen, so no more battery issues.
- Bookmarking works each and every time- no more flakiness.
- The Volume Slider actually controls your iPod/iPhone's volume now! Shock, horror. Before it was just controlling the *application volume*, leading to a lot of confusion about why there wasn't volume- that's been resolved.

Download Delete Redownload
It had been a while since I had chosen and downloaded a classic book from the app. I tried to open the app to no avail. Opened the Apps app, entered audiobooks, went to reviews where a few said to delete and redownload. I did that, now it works with new features and found now I have no library. Luckily I did not purchase any titles as I am an avid reader. I would be terribly upset if I had to repurchase my library. Still very inconvenient and unnecessary. The provider of the app should know this. Thanks
bigsisterkitty,
March 2017 Update Works w/ Reinstall
As the other reviewer commented, DELETE the app from your phone and then (re)download it from the app store. Unfortunately you lose your place in you book(s), but this is how you make the updated app work again.
This app is the absolute BEST. I have been using it for several years now during my commute. I find it amusing that the same liber vox readers keep turning up when I finish everything by one author and go to another - they've become familiar "friends".
I started w the classics I always wanted to read but never did. Then/now I just work my way from the top down the Mystery genre list, doing a search for everything by the author if I like the first book. LOTS of great dime store detective and sci fi books. Also amazing to see how much was known about other places/cultures 100-ish years ago despite the obvious communication/transportation problems. So wonderful on so many levels!
The app is simple and straight fwd, yet still has a "pretty" user interface and does not feel cheap. Chapters are about 23 min each (several book chapters may be combined). The first downloads over "roaming" in about a minute or less. Subsequent ones queque as you listen so that the story keeps going and going w NO interruption. (In "Settings" on for the app on your phone you can set it so it does not download while roaming, btw. If you are worried about dats usage/charges.)
Bottom line is that you need to get this app! lol!!

SarahFaye71,
Great value but could use some improvements
I love this app. I use it all the time. It's a great resource for free audiobooks and a great way to experience the classics at no cost. Audiobooks are expensive and if you like to listen to them this is a great way to do it for free. That being said there are a couple of drawbacks. The books are all read by volunteers so their abilities vary. Some are not as clear as others or as dramatically gifted as others. Some have some annoying background noise as from an air conditioner or something that affects the sound quality. Most are easy to understand though. The one thing that irritated me most initially is that for some works (a few) the chapters are each read by different people & I found it to have a negative effect on the continuity of the book. Also, each chapter is prefaced by a blurb stating that this is a Librivox recording in the public domain and lists the title of the chapter, book & author twice. I find it to be excessive that this is in front of EVERY chapter and again it interrupts the continuity of the story. I don't know why they couldn't delete that part when they edit & assemble the recording into a single recording. These things would make the app a lot better in my opinion but I have gotten used to it and still listen to it on a daily basis. If they fixed these few issues I would give it 5 stars.
Ms Jalav,
Happy with app after reloading
I updated the app today and now I can not open it. It just crashes each time. I tried restarting and still crashed. Deleted app and reloaded it. Seems to work fine now.
Vreezkid,
Crashes now
Ordinarily 5 stars, but the most recent update crashes without fail upon opening on my iPhone 5c. :-/
Kayble4,
App does not load
App crashes when trying to load.
@Really!!,
Crashes on Open
The app used to be good, but now it crashes on open on iPhone 7 w/iOS 10.1.3. Please fix!!!
OmgSQUIRREL,
Very impressed
I just downloaded it today and started a couple of books - these are perfect.
Pros:
*App Menu- the app is super easy to use and surprisingly elegant for $1.99 - easy to navigate, responsive, clean, stylish, and well organized.
*App Player 1 - This is very well done. The time indicators, pause/play, 30 sec rewind are well done. Even a sleep timer function! The app will remember your placement for when you close and reopen your app. Recommendation: add a bookmark feature, for reference.
*App Player 2 - This app ties into the lock screen player, which is good since your phone will be playing files for a while and you can save the screen without having to log all the way back in to pause
*Price - can't beat it
*Selection - some of the most well known titles in the world. Art of War, Through the Looking Glass, Moby Dick, Pride and Prejudice, etc.
*Value - I was looking for audiobooks for my work out sessions and driving - Found it here.
Cons:
*Some of the reads have some weird voices - and their mics are sensitive (you can hear them clear their throat, move closer/further from mic) - but thats not the apps fault so no negative stars - if you can get over this, you'll be fine.
Recommendation to developer:
Maybe have 2+ reader choices for users - perhaps. a male and a female voice option

Stellar*,
Excellent
My favorite app to use on my iPod. I listen to books often to fall asleep, when I ride the bus, and when I'm on airplanes (which has been often this year, so this has been a life-saver). I love that I can download several books without using all of the space on my iPod, I can send chapters to my email if I want to play solitaire while I listen or listen from my laptop, I don't have to wait for all of the chapters to download all at once, and the selection is extensive. I haven't had any problems with crashes and I am just trying out the timer, which I'm really excited about. Sometimes the readers aren't the greatest, but that's to be expected with Librivox volunteers and you get used to them. I've been finding a lot of great literature from the suggestions when I look at the listed similar books above a selection and am thoroughly pleased with this app.
ks68cowboy,
Worth every penny a dozen times over.
I don't pay for many programs but the gamble on this one has paid off immensely. You could go to their website and get the books and work them into iTunes yourself and listen to them. But this 2.00 is well worth it. They have exactly what the claim. Books in the public domain recorded by volunteers. You can even help them out record more books if you choose. More than classics, they also have historical documents. Many of the books will be found on college reading lists. Candide, The Federalist Papers, Lincoln's Letters. If you have ever enjoyed listening to audiobooks then you will benefit from this program and the content it gives you access to.
I always tell the program to download the entire book because I don't know I'll have an Internet access.
