Libro.fm Audiobooks for Positive User Reviews
✓ Generally great, hard to scrubI love supporting local bookstores, and I like this app better than Audible’s. However, I have trouble scrubbing forward or back. The circle indicating the current position on a track can sometimes be dragged forward or back to change position, but it often doesn’t respond. Sometimes it improves if I use the skip forward button a couple times first. I tried to contact app support, but the link for support from the App Store leads to what is apparently a read-only site..Version: 4.4.6
✓ This is the only audiobook app you should have!I love this app. I love the selection of books available! I look books but am not a big reader as I am very busy during the day and if I read at night I fall asleep after two pages. Having this app I listen when I am driving, walking cleaning the house. Best of all it benefits local book stores and help the community. Oh yeah it is really easy to use!.Version: 5.0.1
✓ Superlative !Excellent service & selection. Instant access to every book I’ve sought during my 2 year subscription … especially handy when I’m waiting for hardcopy to arrive for a course. Now I find myself doing audio simultaneously with hardcopy for complicated non-fiction (esp history). AND, this fine company supports our local Indy bookstore!.Version: 5.2.0
✓ The audiobook app I’ve been waiting for.Great selection. Zero guilt because part of my purchase price goes to my favorite local brick & mortar book store. The app has been steadily updated over the last couple years and is now at the point where I don’t have anything to complain about. That’s rare for me ;).Version: 5.0.1
✓ Weird UX -amazing conceptNot the best UX but love the work they’re doing.Version: 4.4.3
✓ Wowzers!Not only does this app help support your favorite local bookstore, they provide customer support on the weekend. As I like to do I’ve logged myself out of my account, am uncertain as to which email address I used to create my account, AND forgot my password. Friday I sent out an email and I woke up Saturday morning to a response, from the CEO. 10/10 impressed and looking forward to get back to ADD reading 👍📚.Version: 6.5.1
✓ Great app!Use my referral code lfm143677.Version: 4.3.10
✓ Best gift a mother could get!Received a 3-month subscription as a gift from my daughter for Mother’s Day. I always felt like I didn’t have the concentration to listen to books since I’m an avid reader. Wrong! Best way to accompany my daily walks. Found myself getting lost in the narratives and the next thing I knew, three miles had passed and I was home! And I’m supporting my favorite bookstore!.Version: 4.3.10
✓ New Libro.fm app is awesome!The latest Libro.fm app allows you to use your monthly credit to get audio books from the app, without having to go to the website. You still need to go to the website to buy additional books, but a small price to pay for the best audiobook app out there, and to continue supporting your local bookstore, audio book authors and readers..Version: 5.0.1
✓ Great service, App about as glitchy as competitorsLots of books, easy to use, nice credit system. However the app crashes my phone from time to time, the watch and car apps can’t sync randomly but go right back to working, and when using media controls (CarPlay, AirPods etc) it’s 50/50 if the book will keep playing..Version: 6.3.1
✓ Best audiobook appThis app is far better than Audible. It doesn’t have the annoying restrictions that Audible has. You can pause your membership at any time while still retaining access to all of the books you’ve purchased. And, their customer service is outstanding. They also share their profits with a local bookstore of your choice. A really good company!.Version: 6.5.1
✓ Feels good to support my local bookstoreAs much as I like physical books, most of the reading I do is actually audiobooks on my commute and I finally asked my local bookstore (Volumes in Chicago!) if I could somehow buy audiobooks from them. They directed me to this app and I’m so happy that (most of) my book-buying now supports them instead of the online giant. The app update is great and you can now buy audiobooks directly in the app. My only complaint is that sometimes it seems like too many clicks to continue listening to a book I’ve been listening to. But if I’m using Bluetooth headphones it starts playing automatically as soon as I put them in, so it’s not really a big deal..Version: 5.0.1
✓ Best audiobook service ever!Libro is unmatched! I love being able to support an independent bookstore, and their platform is also just great on its own. I had an issue with an audiobook and they replied promptly and fixed the problem. Super happy with the service they provide and can’t recommend them enough..Version: 6.6.1
✓ No more money to bezosSo glad there is a comparable audiobook service to audible! And I love that libro.fm supports booksellers!.Version: 4.3.10
✓ Close to Converting CompletelyI love this app for what it offers booksellers and book lovers. When I’ve been pining for a book but have commutes to worry about, this app has my back. Fantastic platform, I recommend it to all of my friends and family, and customers who are afraid they don’t have time to read!.Version: 3.1.0
✓ Audiobooks + Indie bookstores = <3I really love having an audiobook option that allows me to also support local bookstores! The selection is great, there are extra-affordable sale items, and there are lots of great recommendations when I’m looking for something new! Win-win-win!.Version: 6.0.0
✓ Better than you know who….I love not having to have an active membership to listen to my books. I sometimes get busy and credits stack up (and don’t expire). I pause my membership until I can catch up and I can still listen while my membership is paused! I also support my local store!.Version: 5.1.0
✓ Love this appI love this app and how I’m supporting my local book store. My only issue is I can’t download my audio books to my Apple iWatch and/or listen on my home audio devices. I can understand the home devices would be a problem but downloading to my iWatch would be great so I don’t always have to carry my iPhone too. Otherwise I love this app!! Thanks so much!!.Version: 4.3.9
✓ Loving the 5.0 updatesI’ve had this app for a while now after switching from Audible, but y’all nailed it on this last update. I was so glad to see the updates in the tutorial and now can have a closer experience to the web app on my phone. Great job, delightful experience..Version: 5.0.1
✓ A+ audiobook appGreat selection, and it gives back to community bookstores of your choosing. So much happier not supporting am@zon.Version: 4.4.5
✓ Doooooode!I have been a member for over four years. I have used credits, paid my monthly dues, and purchased 5 Harry Potter books and other books “not available for credit usage.” But today, I ask for a book and the mission seems impossible! I have over 8 credits available. One star rating if there ever was. !!!!!!!! ☀️.Version: 5.0.1
✓ Tracks dont have titles, no bookmark in car modeI love the app overall and love the mission to OWN what you buy and to support bookstores. However, I wish the tracks had titles like on Audible. Also, in car mode, you can tap to bookmark something, but you can tap to do other things. Otherwise, 5 stars..Version: 6.5.0
✓ Incredible app. Exactly what I neededI recommend this app to people regularly. I love reading and I love bookstores and the fact that I can support my favorite bookstore while doing something I was already planning on doing (listening to audio books) is incredible. I’ve tried a few audiobook apps and this is the most intuitive one to me. My favorite feature is that you can bookmark multiple places and give the bookmarks names so you can distinguish them. The team is also incredibly responsive, which is not always true of apps! Super helpful. All in all: good product, good people, good cause..Version: 6.5.1
✓ I love that benefits local book store, but…It’s a wonderful concept, I find the app not as easy to use as the other famous one. For example where can I find when my next credit is. Maybe I just don’t know where to look but I don’t find the app as intuitive as some..Version: 6.4.1
✓ Great appMy lone gripe, which is minor, is that there is no streaming option from a browser on pc. You have to download the files and then play them through a media player. This is only inconvenient because I listen to a lot of audiobooks while at work and it would be easier to just stream from the site..Version: 6.6.1
✓ Doesn’t Sync Across DevicesI love this app because I love supporting my local bookstore. However, I listen to my audiobooks on different devices throughout the day. Sometimes I’m on my phone and other times I’m on my iPad. Unfortunately, the current version of this app doesn’t update from my previous place on one device when I switch to the other. Or if it has this capability, I cannot find where to turn it on. I still would recommend this app and company over others, purely to support local bookstores..Version: 3.1.0
✓ The best audio app!Such an amazing resource. You can find just about anything you want to read, and it all goes toward independent book stores. I’ve listened to probably twice as many books as I would have read last year, and I don’t have to carry them around with me every time I move now :).Version: 4.4.5
✓ Great App, wonderful local serviceIt is such a joy to be able to get audio books and also support my local book store. The app is really good. Integrates well with the os. Has spend options. Seems to always keep track where I last was. I’m very happy with it..Version: 6.6.0
✓ DRM Free. YippeeYou pay a little more compared to Audible that is true, but it’s not much more. The catalogue is terrific. I never have to worry that I will lose access to my books. Plus, I get to support my local bookstores. That’s great..Version: 6.6.2
✓ Great app...just one small thing...I love supporting my local bookstore and so far the app has been great, but having the ability to get new books within the app would make it perfect! I don’t always have my computer, so full functionality In the app (wishlist, purchase new books, etc) would make it that much better. Thank you for providing a alternative!.Version: 4.4.5
✓ AmazingWhy would you ever use Audible when you can support a local book store and listen to great audiobooks? Thanks for existing, Libro.fm.Version: 6.1.0
✓ New here. Like it so far.Just recently made the switch to this app (because of local bookstore support) and it works just as well as Audible. The only difference I see is the chapters are broken down into small segments and aren’t labeled as chapters. I wish that would change so I could jump to a specific chapter if necessary. Also the ability to purchase books directly in the app would be a nice convenience. And finally purchasing additional credits would be nice too if possible..Version: 6.3.1
✓ Love the mission but why aren’t there chapters???This seems like one of the most basic features an audiobook app should have. I waste so much time clicking through tracks trying to find the chapter I’m looking for when I lose my place or want to re-listen to a certain one. I’m going to keep using it but I hope they fix this like they said they would 3yrs ago on other reviews here. Please please please. For those of us who get easily distracted while listening or confused by opaque lists of numbers it really is an accessibility issue..Version: 6.5.0
✓ My Favorite Audiobook AppI thoroughly enjoy the design and UI of this app. I’m about halfway through my third book on this app and am loving the playback options. There’s a super wide selection and it truly feels like this whole company is run by good people. I look forward to visiting the local bookstore I have chosen to support with my subscription..Version: 5.3.4
✓ SUPPORT LOCAL BOOKSTORESAmazing selections and suggestions for books. Also love the fact that my money is going to small businesses rather than a useless billionaire. Local bookstores have suffered more than Jeff Bezos has during this pandemic, they have an amazing “Switch” incentive for audiobook listeners using different platforms. Please consider this one!! Highly recommend!!.Version: 4.4.2
✓ Great cause, great books, horrible redesignI love Libro, and use it constantly. However, a recent redesign was so incredibly user unfriendly – it’s downright hostile to anyone with non-20 year old eyes or imperfect vision. No one wants, or needs, tiny tiny type on a sea of blank space, where once we had clean and clear book covers. I love the idea and believe in the work they do to support local bookstores, but make it so people can actually see..Version: 6.5.1
✓ Pretty good!I’d prefer an actual book purchased at my local bookstore, but now that I have a kiddo, I use this app to listen to books while I walk with said kiddo in the stroller! I’m so glad I can still continue to support my local place (Bookbar in Denver!). The app is easy enough to use. My only complaint is that it doesn’t work great on the rare occasions I want to listen via Apple Car play in my car..Version: 5.2.0
✓ 5 Stars Local Bookstore Support4 stars for inability to find how to manage my account on the app and no simple click to website from any page. 3 stars that the site itself will not accept my credit card and there’s no chat feature. I have spent too many hours trying to sign up!!! And am still not signed up. If it wasn’t for supporting my local store, I would have deleted the app and continued audible. I specifically want options that support local businesses. And take from corporate wealth. So, I will trudge on until this is set up and I’ve downloaded the next Dresden File book by Jim Butcher!.Version: 6.2.0
✓ AMAZING appEasy to use, sustainable and ethical. 10/10.Version: 5.2.0
✓ GreatI appreciate the new landscape mode..Version: 6.5.0
✓ Needs ChaptersI love everything about this service, except the tracks. I’m usually switching back and forth between audiobook and physical book and it’s impossible to find your progress with the current setup with tracks. 5 stars and I’ll give up my other audiobook subscription once chapters are added to this app. Love supporting my local bookstore!.Version: 4.3.4
✓ Recent update needs workPlay stops when the iPhone goes to sleep or when you open another app. You have to continually wake up the phone to keep it playing. I often listen to a book while working on another app but I can’t do that any more. Also when using the sleep timer it stops abruptly, even in the middle of a word. Better to fade out gently like the A app..Version: 5.0.0
✓ Can’t without a mentorI have tried to delete books and add books to listen to, but I can’t do it unless I go to the bookstore and have the person help me. Only one person out of three knows how to do this at the bookstore I work with. I have emailed Libro and each time Merc says to go to the website to learn, however it is a circular situation because nothing happens. I will try one more moment.Version: 4.2.0
✓ Highly recommendedMy favourite audiobook app by far. For so many reasons, including their support of indie bookstores, but the app itself is also clean and responsive and easy to use. Navigation and controls are great. And the book selection is huge. Highly recommended!.Version: 6.5.0
✓ The new update is game changingBefore the update, having to buy the books online was a bit of a hassle, but not that’s it’s all in one place it’s great! An incredible selection and it helps support small businesses rather than a massive monopoly..Version: 5.0.1
✓ Ditch Audible and support local bookstores!The app functionality is overall pretty great. I love the curated list from different bookstore employees and the recommendations are always on point. I love that I can now see my wish list in the app and, if I have credits, purchase most books right in the app. What would shift this from a four star review to a five star review would be if I could purchase books that don’t accept a book credit for purchase. Most do, but some don’t..Version: 5.1.0
✓ Love Libro FM - have 1 ask for future updateI love the service Libro Fm provides! Love audiobooks and being able to get them from literally anywhere but audible. That being said, would love to see a future update that enables users to see the actual chapter titles rather than just “Track 1” to “Track [n]”.Version: 6.4.1
✓ I love being able to support a local storeI absolutely love this app. I used to use Audible, but being able to have my audiobooks AND being able to support my local bookstore is so much better! I’ve been signed up for over a year and love it!.Version: 5.1.0
✓ Cryostorage neededBy the time this book downloads, humans will have invented the cold storage I would have needed to stay alive long enough to read it. Half an hour and we’ve made it to 6% downloaded. Moreover, I don’t even need the whole book- just the last third. There was a hold in l library me after me with the library audiobook app and I can’t wait 4 weeks to read the ending! A feature (such as Overdrive has) where you can download individual parts of the book (files) would have been doubly handy in this case..Version: 4.4.6
✓ Make the switch!I absolutely adore this audiobook platform and am grateful to have an alternative to the Evil Empire and destroyer of bookstores everywhere. This app allows me to keep myself in audiobooks and feel good about supporting my local bookstore in the process. They are constantly doing promotions to get even more money into the hands of bookstores. Make the switch!.Version: 4.3.5
✓ BrilliantI love this app it’s so easy to use. I like the inspiration browsing sections and the samples so that I can check I like the sound of the narrator..Version: 6.6.2
✓ Libro is unparalleledBest audiobook provider ! Love their ethics too.Version: 6.6.1
✓ Support LocalI love that this app allows me to support my local bookstore through their partnership. It feels really good to give my money to an independent bookstore than the Amazon/Audible machine. The user experience is good and has even improved since they added the ability to purchase books in the app (use to have to purchase on their website and listen on the app). I also love the book recommendations the app makes and that I can gift people book credits. Try this app out and support local..Version: 6.6.0
✓ Buy audio books and don’t sell your soul!Keeping it local has never felt so good and sticking it to Amazon has never been this easy!!! Chose your fav local brick and mortar bookstore and they benefit from every audio book you buy from Libro.fm Winning!.Version: 6.4.0
✓ Small company, but keeps working to make the app better!I love being able to support my local bookstore, and I appreciate the user interface in comparison to the big competitor. Hello, easy access to chapters, bookmarks, and sleep timer!!! Their customer support is also super responsive and helpful!.Version: 6.6.1
✓ Great app!This app is so easy to use. The added bonus of supporting local bookstores is great! I enjoy using it, I knit while I relax and enjoy my books. :).Version: 6.3.1
✓ My favorite audiobook appI read over a hundred audiobooks a year across a few audiobook platforms and this one is my favorite—both because their business model aligns with my values and because I like the way the app works. I love exploring their playlists, bookseller recommendations, and massive sale collection to find fascinating new reads. I want to give a shout-out to the Kids Club for introducing my children to many compelling stories at reasonable prices. It feels great to support my neighborhood brick-and-mortar bookshop even when I shop digital..Version: 6.6.0
✓ Supporting local as well as a business with social purposeI am in Canada and I love that I am able to support a small business book store in my province, as well as support a business with a social conscience..Version: 6.4.0
✓ It’s the best application in the entire world.This is my first iOS review ever, and I needed to share. Get this app!! Support your local bookstores soooo easily, even have partners in my small town in Nova Scotia. It’s the best thing, truly..Version: 5.3.1
