MirianEve,
Yup!
I thought about titling this ALL YE LIBRIVOX LISTENERS REJOICE! But this app has more than just librivox. Sweetness. It is also a very stable audiobook player which has some really important features.
First it downloads the ENTIRE book not single chapters. That may not seem too important but just try listening to long books like War and Peace or The three Musketeers downloaded one chapter at a time. It'll drive you nuts. It also doesn't crash when you you turn your device off or open other apps with the book playing in the background. I can't tell you how many times other apps have done that to me. This doesn't lose it's place. That will save a ton of headaches. It has the full librivox catalog and podiobooks! Topping on the cake is the sleep timer which if you fall asleep to audiobooks like I do is really nice.
I didn't think I was going to get this app because I got the free version to crash but that only seems to be for the free version.

Fabulous New Look !!!!!!! Love it!!!!
Beautiful update ! The sleek new presentation feels like a completely new app. Visually appealing and easy to navigate. Kudos to the developers.
Still keeping my previous review comments: "Why pay to listen to books when thousands of FREE classics are available in one app? I enjoy using this app every day. Wide selection and mostly good readers. So many ways to make a selection - by topic, author, date of release, genre, or reader. A must-have for everyone who likes a "good read"."
Recently (July 2017) I had my first difficult with the app. True to the excellence of the app, I received a quick response to my questions and prompt follow up thereafter. With so many other apps no response is ever received. Audiobooks customer support is quick and reliable. My thanks to tech support staff !

A Gem
Reading has always been one of my greatest pleasures, but I have limited free time to sit down with a book. I like history and recently I’ve been reading more classics. I’ve been able to download many free audiobooks here of good to excellent quality. If there are several versions of a book I recommend you listen to a preview of each version before choosing one to download. Some readers are more talented than others or one reader might be more to your taste than another. I appreciate the free books and recommend this app if you enjoy audiobooks.
hxbksbuff,
Wonderful addition to your listening arsenal!
I love history, and I use this app when I want to listen to older historical works. I love the fact that you can access old, obscure historical books through this app. Not just US history, but global history! I just finished listening to “Tales of the Blackfleet of Glacier, Montana”. Also enjoyed works by Edith Wharton and early works of Mark Twain. Plan to delve into some westerns, next. They also have old time radio I haven’t even gotten too, yet.
Yes, they also have new titles. But why bother when you’ve already downloaded those other apps? Use THOSE for the new titles, instead.

Librivox is a true gem
I have used Librivox for over a year now and it has been consistently excellent. It has opened doors to good literature and good readers that I never would have found otherwise. I particularly want to recommend the reader listed as "Xe Sands" who reads Edna Ferber's "Buttered Side Down." In the recording she announces her name as what sounds like "Madiera" and she is truly professional quality. Her voice is pleasant, her expression flawless, and her accents for the dialogue of the many different characters is convincing and just plain fun. I wish she would read more!
Kaytiebird,
AMAZING!
This app is amazing! There are so many items available for FREE! The sound quality is wonderful on almost everything I have listened to. I have been enjoying “Old Time Radio” in the horror/thriller section. The best part, you can download all the items instead of having to stream them online...FOR FREE! There are so many little gems hidden on this app! I have an Audible membership, and find this app is a wonderful “extra” for finding those old radio shows. I think this app even has much better sound quality too. I would highly recommend it to everyone. Especially those interested in the classics of yesteryear.

Read the descriptions
I only listen to the free Librivoz books on here, because even though audiobooks on here aren’t too bad compared to what I’ve seen, I still can’t really afford them. So my advice only applies to Librivox. Read the descriptions, and check all versions of the book you pick out! It’s really annoying when there’s 17 different people reading and can usually be avoided by finding another version. I do wish browsing were easier on here, but I’m willing to sacrifice because it is a LOT of free content. Definitely counting down some author death anniversaries for public domain.
KDCartlidge,
Excellent selection of free books
I love all the free classics and Indy books, and don’t mind paying for premium books once in a while because of course you are supporting the authors, narrators and production companies.
The format and search could use some updates, as well as adding the feature of letting us know the length of the recording and whether we’ve listened to the book yet.
It also kills my phone battery but I carry a portable battery.

Wish it worked as it supposed to
The player is a nice player. Good UI. And has the features you’d expect. The problem though is that it loses its place every time I unlock my phone. Seems the Lock Screen ui is not synced to the full player or something. Even not using the Lock Screen ui when I unlock my phone the player stops and seems to go a prior location. I’ve missed so much of the book I’m listening to because I have to kind of find my position to pick up where I left off. This is one of the most basic functions you would expect to work. I’m using an iPhone 12 pro and iOS 14.2.
RobLauderdale,
Many flaws
The biggest flaw in the app is its inconsistency in keeping ones place in the book. I usually listen on my phone while working out, and if I move to another app while listening to a book it usually loses its place and starts from my original place that day when I return to the app interface. Very annoying to constantly have to search for you place in the Audiobook. Also, the sections should have more divisions like the chapters in the actual book. I usually read the book simultaneously as I listen and have to search extensively in the audio to find coinciding place from the book.
