LibriVox Audio Books for Positive User Reviews
✓ Fantastic appI’ve listened to world class books narrated by professional readers..Version: 8.2.1
✓ Makes the world better!Thanks so much to the authors!!.Version: 6.1
✓ The app is a great way to learn EnglishThere are many classical book for those who are avid book lovers. It helps you digest the book..Version: 7.6.1
✓ LibriVoxI love LibriVox so much! But I don’t understand how to volunteer.😀.Version: 7.0.3
✓ Love the appI would give this great app a 5 if it had the option to organise your favourites better. I would like to be able to put titles I’ve listen to already apart from ones I would like to in the future. I use this app instead of the radio in the car for years and sometimes forget the names of the stories I’ve listen to and DL them again. I would gladly pay a one off fee for the privilege of that option. Or a warning asking “ you’ve enjoyed this before do you wish to continue?”.Version: 6.1
✓ Generally good - but ditch the adsThis is my favourite way of accessing the public domain audio books. But the intrusion of adverts between book chapters is a both a pain in the bottom , but also a pain in the ears. The volume balance is rarely in line with the books volume and so just as you are mellowing in the mood of the book, up comes an ad at twice the volume, which can makes you leap out the chair. Please drop them..Version: 6.2.1
✓ Absolutely amazingI LOVE this app! It’s awesome! It has SO many classic books and all for free! And from a ton of really GREAT readers to! Classic books are my favorite but they’re so hard to find now-a-days. And with this I can listen to them anytime anywhere! It’s awesome. And there are books by my favorite authors that o didn’t even know existed! For example did you know that the author of little woman (Louisa may Alcott) wrote a TON more amazing books! I totally recommend this app and make sure to listen to Louisa May Alcotts forgotten classics!.Version: 6.2.1
✓ Ads???This is an excellent app and has been for many years. But now I am disappointed to hear ads at the end of some chapters. This is very, VERY annoying. I once could listen to an entire book chapter to chapter without interruption; now I must be ready to hit pause after each chapter in case an irritating ad starts playing. Please get rid of this! It is most unwelcome and if I had another free audiobooks app, I would use it instead of LibriVox..Version: 7.0.3
✓ I love LibriVox!!!!What can I say????, whilst LibriVox might not be as slick as Audible, it's free!!!, it has a great selection of titles (again these are free!!!), is easy to use. And, it's great to hear "ordinary" people narrating these stories!!..Version: 6.1
✓ Great!!I absolutely love this app! It is simple to use and really nice for when you love reading but have too many things to do to just sit down and read. The one hiccup I’ve experienced is that I keep getting the notification that I need to connect to the internet in order to listen...but I’m already connected. So it’s kind of frustrating at times. But other than that, this app is flawless! Even with the problem, it is definitely one of my favorites!.Version: 8.1.1
✓ Still a fantastic resource, free audiobooks!This app is a bit long in the tooth but hell; it still works. Finally get around to those classic books you’ll never actually read or pay for as audiobooks. The app makes it easy to find the audiobooks you want, just be sure to try a couple different versions and pick the one you like best, some of them are WAY better than others so it’s worth shopping a bit before settling. Overall works like audible. Tracks your position etc. Love to listen to classic books while I go to sleep. If you’re not sure where to start listen to Frankenstein! What a great book..Version: 7.4.2
✓ Sleepy galGreat app ,I go to sleep listening each night, A few of the readers voices are a bit boring and some speak too fast but mostly fine..Version: 7.4.2
✓ David EdwardsWouldn’t miss it, use every day; my sleep companion !.Version: 7.4.2
✓ Still Handy, but DisappointingI’ve used Librivox for a number of years, through undergrad and grad school, and have found it tremendously helpful as an English major. The voices help liven up the texts and make difficult works much easier to follow. More recently, however, I’ve been disappointed by the addition of advertisements at the end of chapters and such. While they could be much more intrusive, it’s still a disruption to the experience and overall nuisance. Luckily, you can work around them by tapping on the next chapter, but having to do so feels unnecessary. I wish they would have just stuck to having a small visual ad at the bottom of the page. A small matter, which most people probably don’t care about, but enough to make me go to other audio reading providers sometimes. That said, Librivox is still my go-to reader, and it is very helpful overall..Version: 7.4.2
✓ Happy to find this appWe love LibriVox for long car rides. We've been happy with the number of titles from which we can choose, and appreciate that we can hear literary classics we may never have read--nor would have the time to read now. The voice quality varies, but we do get used to the accent, if the reader has one. And only once have we refused to listen to a story because of the reader. We love having an app because we can download ahead of time to avoid using data while on the road..Version: 6.1
✓ Great free app!As well as books there are quite a few old radio programs. For the most part the audio is excellent for radio. The books are great, but reading ability varies. It ruins some of them! However, you can easily find the books read by readers you like. There are some excellent readers. It’s all free!.Version: 8.3.0
✓ JLove it keep adding on the titles.Version: 8.1.1
✓ Mind LiberatingThese collections of stories are unique and make the modern day reader impressed at the quality of words and choices..Version: 6.1
✓ Fantastic appListen this on a regular basis, it's rekindle my love reading, when I can't read, I download a book and listen while I walk the dogs and housework. The adverts between chapters can be a tad annoying. The best of all it's free. Thank you to all the volunteers for their time..Version: 6.2.1
✓ Wonderful appIf you want to listen to the classics, this app is the one for you. Ok it doesn’t have many newer titles but its a free app, so don’t be surprised by that. I really enjoy listening in the evening on a rainy windy night!.Version: 7.4.2
✓ My favourite app!Love this for bedtime reading or middle-of-the-night-can't-sleep times. The timer is a great feature- turns off after a specified length of time. Just takes a little while to find the good narrators..Version: 5.0
✓ The. CardI’ve listened to this recording 3 times now and will no doubt listen to it a fourth..Version: 8.1.1
✓ Excellent for what it doesI’m really glad they made this app. They didn’t need to, but this made their audiobooks so much more accessible..Version: 6.2.1
✓ Mme bovaryPour quelqu’un qui n’aime pas lire je me suis remis à la lecture grâce aux extraits audio merci.Version: 7.3.1
✓ Rred2 Search • Relax • Listen • Enjoy 😉I very much appreciate Big L and all the hard work that goes into making this Audio Books 📚 Reading a real pleasure by volunteers and the precious time they contribute. It very much helps me relax especially that I don’t sleep 😴 that well and I so enjoy listening to a good book by many a great reader. So I want to thank you again Librovox..Version: 7.1.0
✓ Great appAwesome app love the work you guys do.i have heaps of friends addicted to LibriVox.Version: 6.1
✓ Incredible resource for auditory learnersThis app has so many great books! I like that you can download titles for offline listening and adjust the playback speed. (I slow it down a bit to aid comprehension.) Also, the ad-free version is under $3/year, which is a pretty sweet deal if you dislike looking at ads as much as I do. This is one of the only online reviews I have ever written, so you can be sure I like the app a lot :).Version: 8.3.0
✓ Good and free audiobook app.If anyone likes to listen to audiobooks from authors such as Jules Verne, or HG Wells, then this app is the app for you. Very good app, the trouble is sometimes, not all their catalogue loads..Version: 8.7.0
✓ Not enough selectionIs hi hi good. still It.Version: 8.0
✓ BrilliantBeen a fan for the last 15 years.Version: 8.8.0
✓ I love LibriVoxI love that you can change what language it is and that there are a lot of old stories that I love😎😎😎.Version: 7.1.0
✓ A lifesaverI have always been an avid reader however my eyesight is now deteriorating. Audiobooks have become a godsend and in particular this app which is brilliant. A million thanks, not only to the developers but also the readers who put in so much time and effort. The end your subscription is the bargain of a lifetime.Version: 8.0
✓ Good, but needs new booksI love this app, and apart from all the ads I have no complaints about the books I’ve listened to. But I would love to see more recent books as well, as most of these books are old classics.Version: 7.4.2
✓ Love this appThis has been a great app for me during the COVID lockdown I have read more books than I ever did I’m my life and the readers are really easy to listen to ..Version: 8.1.1
✓ LibrivoxAbsolutely brilliant APP just put my earphones on an that's it no more nagging Wives Brilliant just Brilliant.Version: 7.3.1
✓ All of the stories!Thank-you Librivox for so many stories read by volunteers. Incredible content and incredible voices to read it. I've learned so much and been sent off to Dreamland so many times, you deserve a medal..Version: 5.0
✓ A great resourceOnly one small criticism Some readers not so easy to listen to.Version: 8.2.1
✓ A giftMagic to be able to choose your book, set a timer, enjoy and learn for half an hour and fall asleep a bit wiser!.Version: 6.1
✓ MerciTrès facile d’accès et très audible..Version: 7.3.1
✓ Suddenly ads FIXEDThank you for fixing this app. The developers were very responsive! The sleep timer works now and the ads are fewer and not as loud. Thank you! Here is the original review:::: “I used to like this app. However, since the last “upgrade” the sleep timer doesn’t work. I will set it for 15 minutes and it just plays on and on for hours. Also there are now obnoxious ads between chapters. Please, bring back App 1.0.”.Version: 7.3.1
✓ Excellent appThis is the best source of free audiobooks I know of. I really enjoyed listening to Sherlock Holmes, Treasure island, and other books..Version: 7.4.2
✓ A free app for free audio books!How could you possibly NOT give it 5 STARS?.Version: 5.0
✓ Great!I love this app because there is so much variety and it's all free. I love that it picks up where I left off and I can get there with one click of the resume button. I have only had 1 book out of the dozen I've downloaded that had ads and they were very short and in between chapters so it didn't bother the flow of the book. The content is so diverse. I am part of a smaller Christian denomination but they have multiple books written by pioneers of my church. Truly amazing. Keep up the good work..Version: 6.1
✓ Fantastic!! The only MUST HAVE app!!If it was up to me, your phone would come out of the box with this app pre-installed!! A HUGE thank you to all the volunteer readers, quite a few of whom are good enough to turn "professional"!! Some are not so good, but if this upsets you, put your money where your mouth is and volunteer yourself, see if you can do better!! LOL 😁 All the titles are old books, so they are no longer subject to copyright, but that's how they make it free for the rest of us to use. Just because they are old or you've never heard of them doesn't make them bad books!! There are, of course, the "classics", but there are also many hidden gems that just needed dusting off and putting back into circulation. Give it a try, you'll love it 👍🏻.Version: 6.1
✓ Well pleasedHave used this book listening app for a long time and continue to find it very useful and enjoyable on the many occasions where I am unable to read but can listen. It is rare that the readers are not clear and pleasant of voice and I am most appreciative of the time and effort given to this effort. Thanks to all who make this possible..Version: 7.4.2
✓ Imagine a Free AudibleThis app is great! Filled with classic books and with good audio quality. Worth downloading if you enjoy Audible or similar apps..Version: 8.3.0
✓ Good but sound not always goodHave found the app to be very good, however the volume level on some recordings is so low cannot Hear the reading over road noise.Version: 8.2.1
✓ Perfect for meI study English Literature at university and I sometimes struggled to read all the texts I have to in such a short time, and find it hard to read old English with ease. I also find that after a certain amount of books, I’ve completely burned out and don’t take in the pages properly. I had looked into audible but it seemed a little confusing for my tastes. This app,however, has been amazing in helping me work through my reading lists whilst still remaining motivated! It’s easy to navigate and the volunteers are so expressive in their readings, it’s near impossible to lose focus like before!.Version: 8.1.1
✓ Excellente appJadore yo ;).Version: 7.3.1
✓ Great listening optionIf you want to listen to great literature from the past and don’t have the time to read, this is a wonderful application. You can pull up documents of historical and religious significance. You can listen while they are read to you and you were able to do another activity while you’re listening. I have especially enjoyed listening to William Bradford‘s record of Plymouth colony. I highly recommend it. You have no idea of the myriad obstacles the Pilgrims overcame until you’ve listened to it..Version: 8.0
✓ AmazingI plug this into my car audio on long journeys and listening to stories of WW1. I'm so grateful for all the hard work that has gone into making this app possible..Version: 6.1
✓ Rafe II love whoever organized this library and set it up- truly doing good work. Fantastic the help this has been to my psychological well being, god bless you all!.Version: 7.4.2
✓ FantasticYou can find a lot of audio books you can think of. Accessible, easy understood and fantastic for people who Their English is second language. Thank you so much keep up the good work.Version: 5.0
✓ Librivox is an amazing AppI have been listening to Librivox for at least 10 years. The readers are generally good, with some of them being really excellent. The number of books available is beyond vast. With a wide range of subjects and genres, you will always find something interesting to listen to. This is an App you won’t regret downloading..Version: 6.2.1
✓ At last.I have been a LibriVox fan since just after it's beginning, I remember when the 1000th book was uploaded. LibriVox is a fantastic resource, it's only problem up until now was the faff involved in downloading zip files and importing to iTunes, with until quite recently also having to search for a good image to use for the cover art. The app solves all of these problems. Like some other reviewers, I payed for the 'pro' version, not because the adverts were annoying but as a demonstration of support. The content of thousands of books of all genres is free. People have spent a great deal of there own time narrating these stories, poems and textbooks. One of the strengths of LibriVox is that there is no limit as to the number of versions of each book that can be uploaded. If you don't care for a specific reader, download or wait for another version. Even take up the challenge and read your favourite title yourself..Version: 6.1
✓ 5 starsLife changing 🙏🏽 Thankyou.Version: 8.2.1
✓ Great projectThis is a fantastic project. Invaluable. The audio advertisements are new and are jarring. I don't mind the visual advertisements because I understand that projects benefit from having money. But the audio ones seem out of place. I'm listening to some amazing piece from hundreds of years ago and then I get blasted with some loud commercial. It's really worth it to consider changing this..Version: 6.2.1
✓ Occasionally glitchy app unlocks a world of literatureThere is room for improvement with this app, but it’s basically a simple platform to enjoy the vast treasure trove of public domain audio content that is the LibriVox website..Version: 7.5.1
✓ Not badSome of the functionality could be improved like fading out the sleep timer and sorting out the echo on the speed adjustment. But for a free app I think it works pretty well most of the time..Version: 6.1
✓ LoveI used & loved this app for years. After not having an apple device for a while I just rediscovered it and I’m so excited (I think you can use it through their website as well though). It’s easier than overdrive because I don’t have to worry about having a time limit and I think it’s a bit more user friendly too. Also great selection for free, especially as I love the classic authors and have found some really unique and educational stuff too. Five stars all the way..Version: 6.1
✓ Fantastic AppAmazing selection of old books to listen to with some excellent readers. And so easy to use... And all for free! Almost too good to be true!.Version: 6.2.1
✓ Great appI love this app. I've listened to several classics already w a long list to go. It's easy, available to down load and remove chapters when completed. I even like it when the narrator changes out during the story. It's like the story teller of an epic adventure might switch out over days. In days past when folks gathered for a sessional fest the would be many bards over a weeklong gathering. I use LibriVox often and tell others about it. Thanks!.Version: 6.1
✓ Great free readsSo grateful to all the amazing volunteers for reading these books. Making my commute to work so much more enjoyable!.Version: 6.1
✓ Great AppThis is a great App, and there are many talented readers who bring the classics back to life. It is unfortunate that the Review component of each book does not seem to be working..Version: 8.3.0
✓ A Polished GemOf all the “ebook” apps that are popping up like lilies in May, Librivox stands alone as a highly-polished gem! Although it has only books in the Public Domain, it is free, it has dedicated volunteers who read the book as you listen, and these volunteers—for the most part—are as professional as the readers on the paid apps. Imagine the magic of an Englishman—or woman—reading a Shakespearean sonnet as you walk on a country road! This app is worth every iota of my five-star rating! RR.Version: 6.2.1
✓ Family timeGreat for supporting kids homework and bedtime stories..Version: 7.0.3
✓ LibriVoxWhat a great volunteer led service. And how wonderful to follow books from another era - I’m now listening to those more than modern alternatives! Richard G.Version: 8.2.1
✓ I LOVE this appI’ve been listening for over a year and I can’t say enough good things! It’s especially useful for when I’m unable to sleep but can’t read because the light disturbs my husband. I find being “read to” so comforting and calming, maybe reminiscing of childhood. The variety of books is amazing, literally something for everyone. Thank you to LibriVox and the many volunteers!!❤️❤️😂.Version: 8.3.0
✓ Jungle bookGreat story so well read. Just close your eyes and relax as the readers draw you into the story..Version: 7.6.1
✓ Thank god for the public domainWe’re so lucky to have such quality books and quality readers.Version: 8.7.0
✓ HelpMy LibriVox has gone wrong and I have checked for updates. Up till now it has been one of my favourite apps.Version: 7.3.0
✓ No longer plays through BluetoothThis is a amazing app however I’m not sure if it was the recent iOS 11 or the app update but it no longer plays through Bluetooth appliances. I’m sure the team already knows and are fixing the issue but thought I’d let them know just in case.Version: 6.1
✓ Too tired to read? Want that experience of listening to a story on the radio?I love this app and am very grateful to all the kind people who put in the effort of creating, supporting and reading out loud to make it great..Version: 8.2.1
✓ Love it SavannahIt’s amazing 😉 I mean I can read all my favorite books on audio plus they are all free the readers are AMAZING and there are no glitches for me it only takes about a minute to download your books 📚 I use it daily and it is something I will never forget about I went throw so many free trials and they where not even good books but I wanted something free so I cancelled all my trial and got this with amazing books for FREE get this app !!!!.Version: 8.0
✓ Great AppLibrivox is a great way to access older books. I don't mind the readers accents. I think it makes it more personal. I'm just grateful someone has spent hours reading out loud just so I can listen. A great big thank you to all the volunteers..Version: 6.1
✓ Fantastic appI love this app and all the volunteers who make it so valuable. There are so many great books on here and many of the volunteer readers do a fantastic job even doing different voices for each of the books characters. Because I work for at least 10 hours a day mostly driving heavy equipment I have lots of time to listen to something but precious little time to read even though I love books. This app has made it possible for me to enjoy literature without sacrificing family time and other after work activities..Version: 6.1
✓ Excellent place to find the classicsYes thoroughly enjoyed books I have listened to so far xx.Version: 8.3.0
✓ Good, Great if you like older literature.I’m a teenager so I don’t really find much interesting stuff on this app. I do like the fairy tales, however. It has all the old classics and I really do appreciate that. However, having Ads in between each chapter is kind of annoying and maybe you could fix that? Overall I think it’s really good for people who like old literature but if you don’t, maybe go to audible or OverDrive/Libby..Version: 7.4.2
✓ Fabulous choiceReally good titles, downloaded it for holidays and spent everyday in the sun just listening to the plays and stories . Really brilliant.Version: 8.4.5
✓ Great app, ads are too loudThis app is very useful I have enjoyed hours of stories for a while. Many aspects of the app I enjoy but recently they added recorded advertisements which I think harms this app. They are really loud and jarring. I often listen to stories to sleep but the ads are unpredictable and at a different volume than the stories and invariably startle me. I really hope they change this aspect. It has been a really harmful update to this app and makes it less pleasant to use..Version: 7.3.1
✓ Love itLove how you can bookmark and resume later!!.Version: 7.3.1
✓ Great app but new reading speed controls badLibriVox used to be the perfect app for free audiobooks, and as a English graduate student, I still use it daily for reading. However, I’m greatly disappointed by the new app update, specifically the changes to the speed settings. You used to be able to change the speed and see how fast you were setting it, but now it’s just a sliding scale with no numbers. The old version also allowed you to go much faster than x2 speed, which honestly is necessary with some of the slower readers (I think the old version went to x2.5 or x3 speed). If they could improve the speed controls I’m sure I’m not the only one who would greatly appreciate it!.Version: 7.6.1
✓ Awesome app I recommendIt’s free and there’s tons of great classics. If you’re into audiobook let me say that again: it’s free. Oh and the ones I listened so far were perfectly read and recorded. Thank you so much for developing this, education should be free for all 😉.Version: 8.1.1
✓ 5-Star content, one annoying problemThis review is for the app (LibriVox is one of the best things on the modern internet). Playback and downloading works well. Search algorithm finds what you want most of the time (though having separate entries for different readings of the same book makes things more complicated than they need to be). The only serious problem is ads. Not that they exist. They’re infrequent and generally tasteful. It’s the VOLUME. The ads don’t seem to be scaled to the same volume as the books. Rather, whenever an ad plays there’s a large spike in volume and I’m inevitably startled if I’m wearing headphones. It’s particularly troublesome if you’re listening to a book to help you sleep..Version: 6.2.1
✓ The journey of Alva Nunez Cabeza de Vaca translated from his own narrative by Fanny bandelierAs a recovering stroke victim, my hope is to recuperate mostly up to 100%. From giving lectures about history/archaeology anthropology to not being able to remember how to tie my own shoes. The hope is to regain my multi tasking and articulation of my speech. Also to regain mental focus in comprehending what I read. This audio along with a hard copy of the book perhaps I will be able to recover faster. This review is definitely a positive tool..Version: 6.2.1
✓ Started paying the monthly support happy to donatePlease fix the app though, I definitely am connected to the internet with full bars 5G and mobile data turned on and Librivox App says I cannot download because I’m not connected to the internet. Apologies for my grammar, English is not my first language. I hope you understand me. Thank you.Version: 8.7.0
✓ Great AppI use LibriVox frequently. It is really great. Thumbs up from me..Version: 6.1
✓ Such a great AppI give my thanks to whoever started this project. It’s incredible to have so many books available.Version: 7.4.2
✓ Great!!Librivox is so great! It helps a lot with books I need for school. I also just love to listen for pleasure and I enjoy it very much! Some readers are just not good but overall most of the readers are so amazing! On the app you can download the books you want so if you don't have connection then you can still listen which is very helpful! I highly recommend Librivox!.Version: 8.1.1
✓ Regular librivox userI’m rating this based on the app itself. It’s glitchy and weird. I wish it was more intuitive and useful for saving books. It often loses where I’m at in a book and I often have to go fish for the same book over and over again. That said- this is a service I did not pay for, listening to books I did not pay for. I’m very thankful for all the volunteers and donors who made it possible, even if it’s a pain sometimes ;).Version: 6.2.1
✓ Unable to find bookmarkEach time I stop listening, I have to do a search to find the book I was listening to and where in the book I was up to. Perhaps there is a way to do this but I haven’t found it. Otherwise a great ap..Version: 8.1.0
✓ NiceEspecially like the bold enlightenment content.Version: 5.1
✓ Love itIt’s fricken awesome , I’m a machine operator and makes my day a hell of a lot more interesting listening to these books.Version: 7.4.2
✓ BlessingLibravox has become such a blessing to my life. I listen to it while I make supper in the evenings, or when I’m getting ready in the morning or anytime I’m doing something with my hands but not my brain. I listen to spiritually uplifting books or to interesting and informative stories. I love reading, but I have almost no time in my life to read. Now I can still listen to stories even though I don’t have time to read. I absolutely love libravox..Version: 6.2.1
✓ This application has enabled me to listen to many books I never would have experienced.This is one of my favorite applications if not my favorite. It has enabled me to gain access and enjoy many pieces of literature that I wouldn’t have been able to without this application. It has filled many daily and often mundane tasks with inspiring words..Version: 8.7.0
✓ Sleeping draught!I am an insomniac but I don’t like taking meds too much .. But listening to one of the so many options in LibriVox is relaxing, simple to use, and for the main part very enjoyable and I drift off! There are always the odd readers who are exasperating, but then there are readers of RUTH Goldings calibre, who more than makeup for the duds. I can’t fault LibriVox .It is one of the few techi innovations that I really do appreciate,in this cellphone age..Version: 7.5.1
✓ AmazingLibrevox is mu go-to when it comes to old fashioned books! I love most of the readers, and the selection is huge, as pong as it was written a while ago (early ninteen hundreds) I always listen to it while crocheting for my buissness, and have recommended it..Version: 7.4.2
✓ Love the appCan’t go to sleep without it.Version: 6.2.1
✓ Love the concept!And the updated app is much better!.Version: 6.1
✓ Needs to work with voiceoverAlso buggy with iOS 13. Apple updates just get worse and worse!!!.Version: 7.5.1
✓ I love it!I never would have gotten into Sherlock, first the books then the excellent tv show, if I had not been told of this app. I have thoroughly enjoyed it and I am very thankful for the time that many people put into this in order that I may listen to many books!.Version: 7.4.2
✓ DecentIt’s a good app filled with old fashioned books that you wouldn’t be able to find on plays like audible but for free. Although there is the occasional advert it is otherwise a good app and I would definitely recommend..Version: 7.4.2
✓ Love the conceptI’m writing primarily to request some features and help improve the app 1. add a donate button to better fund app dev / readers 2. Add google / alexa streaming without requiring an iPhone to select a book but offer a voice menu interface 3. My first book stream wasn’t my default language, language selection needs improvement.Version: 8.1.1
✓ J'aimeUne grande sélection de titres et j'apprécie la variété des voix..Version: 7.4.2
✓ Brilliant FREE appIt may not have “every book” but it’s a brilliant FREE APP I can’t recommend it enough!!.Version: 8.2.1
✓ Good app - free audiobooks!Downloads and plays well. Selection is improving but can be a bit hit and miss sometimes..Version: 6.1
✓ Vraiment une ressource incomparableJ’utilise cette application régulièrement pour écouter de la poésie française en m’endormant le soir. Une ressource merveilleuse et incomparable! Merci à tous les bénévoles et aux narrateurs, tout particulièrement à Monsieur René Dépassé pour tout son répertoire littéraire!.Version: 8.1.1
✓ Great app, needs improvement.When I play a book, it tends to stall after it finishes a chapter, so that I have to stop whatever I'm doing, go into the app and push the play button on the next chapter. Even then, it tends to be extremely slow starting, and I have to sit there with screen on til it starts, cuz if I just turn the screen off, the next chapter won't start. I know it's not my internet speed either, nothing else is slow!.Version: 6.1
✓ SolidLarge library. Most of the recordings sound fine to me, and the organization of the app is impressive for a free download. Really, the only detraction for me is the ads, but they have to make money somehow.. That being said, they are relatively minimal and once you get your book going, its not bad at all. I am a person that will instantly uninstall if the ads are overwhelming and give a 1 star, so that should tell you my thought on the matter. Ill put a book on at work and maybe hear 1-2 ads per 8 hour shift. Will definitely be paying for the premium version, but not because I feel like I need to to enjoy the app. More because Libravox is a breath of fresh air, and I want to support..Version: 7.4.2
✓ LibrivoxI truly enjoy Librivox. Firstly; It's free. Secondly; The dedication of people throughout the world who freely give their voices, time and energy so I can listen to any audiobook I wish to on this app is appreciated by me. Thirdly; Most importantly, Thank you..Version: 5.0
✓ Enjoyable listeningI was told about this app from a friend and we have thoroughly enjoyed listening to the stories of Thornton W. Burgess on this app. It has been great to be able to download the stories and listen offline as we travel in the car. Highly recommend LibriVox..Version: 7.0.3
✓ This is whatI am very happy after the downloading of this app, easy to download the books and listen it any time without any issues..Version: 7.1.0
✓ My Simple ReviewLet me start with my one complaint which is also true of audio books that I have paid for from other sources - namely that I do not always prefer the narration. Adverts are a given with something of this nature. On the pro side, the books are indeed free with no signing up. They can be downloaded and listened to offline and there is a great selection of audiobooks, podcasts and sermons. Recording quality is generally decent and there are at times multiple recordings for us touchy people who want to hear a book read according to our preference..Version: 8.1.1
✓ Great booksYou can’t imagine what LibriVox has done for me. Since I love to read and do little crafty things LibriVox lets me do both at once. And though it doesn’t have my absolute favorite book series because LibriVox only has books that aren’t printed new any more it lets me listen to my second favorite and do something I love with my hand at the same time! I can fanaly multitask two thing that I love to do..Version: 7.6.1
✓ Great Tinnitus reliefHave Suffered from the complainant for many years. Listening to audiobooks gives relief by diverting attention away from the problem. Thanks to everybody involved 😀.Version: 7.3.1
✓ Open audio library FREEWhoever came up with LibriVox deserve a humanitarian prize of some kind. It’s a wonderful resource, and I believe directly contributing enlightenment. Thank you thank you thank you LibriVox !!.Version: 6.2.1
✓ For Readers and Writers AllIf it were possible to have a love affair with an app, this would be the one. A veritable cornucopia of great works old and new. Invaluable resource for students old-young, for nearly every great work created before 1900, as well as a respectable number of 20th century works, is available for free. Volunteers have donated endless hours to create these audiobooks, many of them 100% free (thousands of more available for sale at excellent prices). If you've not tried Librivox, maybe it's time.👍👍.Version: 8.7.0
✓ Excellent Resource - Great AppI’m a homeschooling mom of two high schoolers. While I enjoy reading, I sometimes find it difficult to be prepared to discuss the many books they are using in their literature based humanities classes. I use this LibriVox app to keep up with their assigned reading and for my own enjoyment, too! The app works smoothly. It is easy to navigate. I use the sleep-timer often. THANK YOU to the dedicated volunteers who make this marvelous FREE LibriVox app possible..Version: 7.4.2
✓ Great free alternative 👍I have used this app for a very long time and it is by far my favorite app ever. Now it is not the best audio book app ever, but it is free. There are small not too frequent ads and some of the voices aren’t the best. But most of the voices are amazing ( my favorite is Annie Coleman) and that ads aren’t terribly long or anything. This app is great for falling asleep, driving, or doing some boring or long task. Also if you are in school and have to read a book for homework this app is great for that..Version: 7.4.2
✓ Fantastic Service!I love the service that this provides. What a great product, delivering public domain works of literature for free! Thank you to all of the volunteers who make this possible. I want to make one suggestion for the app though, and that is that the playback doesn’t show up on my lock screen. I need to unlock the phone and open the app to pause it. It would be nice if it could show on the lock screen like all of my other audio apps..Version: 6.2.1
✓ GreatThanks to all the people who donate their time to read these books and provide them free of charge :-).Version: 6.1
✓ Like No OtherThis app honestly is one of my most used. It's simple and allows you to access Librivox away from a computer. It has never glitched for me and functionality is great except for the fact that you can't sync where you're up to across devices, which is certainly not a deal breaker. Superficially, the UI could be prettier, more modern, to make using the app a more enjoyable experience but other than that 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼.Version: 5.0
✓ Great stories. Easy to use.Reliable. Easy. I wish it allowed me to see which chapter I'm on and how long it is while the audio is playing. I have to pause and look. But overall, I'm really enjoying listening to some awesome free books on a free app. I can't complain..Version: 6.1
✓ Very Good Book Selection & Easy to Use AppI’ve been using the LibriVox App to listen to various books for a few months now. One of the things I appreciate is the wide variety of books about historical events and or people. One of the things that I like is that once I find a subject that I like, I can then search for other books that are similar. Which is much much better than the App forcing me to look at books that the App thinks I might like. Thank You for this App..Version: 7.0.3
✓ Fabulous!I discovered LibriVox years ago and listened to many books on my PC. Soon after I got my first iPhone, I downloaded the app. I recently joined Audible, and then I truly realized what a great deal LibriVox is. I love classic novels and LibriVox has loads of them. The recent addition of the occasional commercial does not bother me. Those kind advertisers are paying the bills so I can get my book fix! If you have not yet tried LibriVox, give it a listen. You will be glad you did..Version: 7.0.3
✓ Absolutely wonderfulI think everyone should have this app on their devices. It's one of the top five apps in my opinion. A lifesaver for me so many times..Version: 6.2.1
✓ Totally enjoying this app.I am truly enjoying this app. For the past week I’ve been downloading books and listening to them when I go to bed. I honestly believe I am sleeping better since I started this. Perhaps it’s because our mother used to read to us before we went to sleep at night. As a child it made me feel safe and content. Whatever it is I am thankful that my sister told me about her experience with audiobooks which peeked my curiosity enough that I went looking for apps and found this one. Thank you..Version: 7.3.1
✓ LIBRIVOX IS A GREAT HELP FOR THE WEARY SOULLIBRIVOX IS A GREAT HELP FOR THE WEARY SOUL i ❤️LIBRIVOX. i live alone instead of listening to music 🎵 or watching 📺 i listen to the classics which makes me sound smart. my local library 📚 is 20 miles away. i have lost my ...account & to download audible or other books 📚 📖 on tape on line is free for a month or two then audible starts sucking money 💵 💴 💰 out of your credit cards so THANK YOU 🙏 LIBRIVOX. i want to start 📖 recording for you guys. it’s a great service you’re rendering to the public THANKS 🙏 😊 THANK YOU ☺️ LIBRIVOX ❤️.Version: 7.4.2
✓ The BestI can’t wait for my bedtime story every evening. Thank you for this wonderful source of entertainment. I am catching up on all the classics, and I appreciate so much, those who take the time to narrate the stories..Version: 6.2.1
✓ New update is not workingNew update is not working!!!! I have been using this app for over 3 years now, no problems before this new update. Just so upset as l can not play any books. Please look into it asap! This app has been a lifesaver to me during my sleepless nights..Version: 6.2
✓ Good app for a great resourceSome things could be better, mostly it works very well. Great way to listen to lots of old books for free and easy to save for offline..Version: 5.1
✓ Great Free BooksIt’s great to listen all these public domain books for free, but it would be better if they curated the readers and recordings better. Some are good, but some are not good at all..Version: 8.7.0
✓ ReviewVery good.Version: 4.01
✓ The only app I have loved to use across all my devisesI have really liked this app so much. I am immensely grateful to all volunteers who dedicate their valuable time to record the books and also to all those who have come up with such a great idea of providing Audio books for free in almost every possible languages. My earnest thanks to all the volunteers from book readers to all who making this app a great platform..Version: 7.5.1
✓ Great app!Features like timer to end playback and download are great. The app also downloads the next chapter as you listen which is good for space saving. All the audio content is free and read by volunteers so the quality varies. But there are some pretty good options here..Version: 8.1.1
✓ I love LibriVoxFantastic app, love listening while driving interstate. Some great reads!.Version: 6.2.1
✓ World expandingA great app compiling the work of thousands of volunteers who have transformed my travel time. Thank you for opening so many worlds..Version: 6.1
✓ A blessing in disguiseEvery single article,book, script, translated and read for every person seeking to know more, want more - who wants to awaken and remember all the information that we forgotten. All for free - use it use it use it !!!! it's here for you as it is for me - I hope this review attracts your attention enough to waken the explorer in you and listen to all this free information over and over until it empowers you and takes you to the top ! I will see you all there !.Version: 6.1
✓ Love the programmeEnjoy the readers, selection of books and effort put in. Recommend to all, especially the young to hear great works and learn..Version: 8.0
✓ Unbelievably awesomeI have used LibriVox for the past three years and am always consistently blown away by the skill of some of these amateur readers. I also have Audible, and with both combined I feel like there is always something interesting and new to experience. LibriVox's best feature is the wide, free use of public domain writings. The search for good readers is rewarding, albeit different than Audible. The difference is that with LibriVox it doesn't cost me a cent. Excellent. The mobile app is very straightforward, and in a way offers even more options than my subscription, in particular the playback speeds..Version: 6.1
✓ A true public treasure.Just like Wikipedia, only purer, many of the best things we have available are the product of volunteer labor on the part of interested people. There is so much excellent content in public domain. This may be one of the best ways to broaden your education just by listening and at no cost. It’s true that not every reader is professional quality, but the copies available get better every day..Version: 7.4.2
✓ ListenerWonderful ap! Free, allows downloads, and reviewers comment so you know if a recording goes dodgy. The only thing I'd like is if the rabbit/speed button wasn't so sensitive or had a % (I can't quite tell if I'm speeding it up, until I *really* can.).Version: 5.0
✓ Seek and you shall find...When my hands are busy I can always rely LibriVox to tune in.Version: 6.2.1
✓ Très bonne application beaucoup et choixMerveilleux pour ceux qui n'aiment pas lire.Version: 7.0.3
✓ Love itGreat app. Love to listen to the stories at night when sleep won't come..Version: 6.1
✓ The best audiobooks!I love to listen to the many amazing books I can get with this app!.Version: 6.2.1
✓ LibrivoxThis is a great idea, and I love listening to the classics while driving. Beats what passes for music on the rsdio. Brilliant..Version: 8.5.0
✓ I love LibriVoxWhat an incredible resource, by the people for the people. Loving LibriVox! Huge thanks to all the readers and those behind the scenes..Version: 8.1.1
✓ AmazingOne of best audiobook resources. The best classical Philosophy books are narrated by some amazing people for free that would cost you a fortune if bought from market. Sometimes they are unavailable, other times they are too difficult to read but much easier to listen here. Great work team. Lots of thanks..Version: 7.4.2
✓ I love itConsidering that Libravox is free, there's quite a good range of books. Something for everyone. There are various versions of the popular books, which I really like because I can't stand to hear something like Pride and Prejudice being read by a man with an American accent (it's just wrong!) so I can just choose another version. My favourite is The Chronicles of Crime, Volume One, and I'm hoping Volume Two is in the works! Great app and service. A big thanks to all at Libravox..Version: 5.0
✓ ProblemsAnnoying that app can now only be viewed in portrait mode..Version: 8.8.1
✓ Love LibriVoxSo great to be able to listen to such great stories for free. It's also so easy to use. A fantastic resource..Version: 6.1
✓ Excellent appNo annoying adverts, easily searchable titles even when unsure what you want, clear audible reading, low battery use (even on standby mode), wide variety of topics. I can go on n on but the proof is in the pudding. This is one app I can't do without. Best part is I can download audiobooks for offline listening..Version: 6.1
✓ Great App!!This is a fantastic app, there are loads of free audiobooks to choose from that are actually really great to listen too. It's the best audiobook app I've come across!!.Version: 6.1
✓ Very valuableThank you to all the volunteers.Version: 6.1
✓ World ClassSimply Marveous.Version: 6.1
✓ Above life turmoil by James AllenExcellent read by Andrea Fiore Thank you for reading so many of James Allen work - he never copy writes gods work so it would be accessible to all and now we can listen to the various works because of Andrea efforts ... totally appreciated and enjoyed regularly!!!!!.Version: 8.2.1
✓ Great collection with awesome readingsI really love how this app has grown since I first started using it. I have a love for Germanic folklore especially core mythology books like the Eddas and the Sagas. When I first started using this app they had literally two audio books on Norse and Germanic myth. One was awesome, the other...not so much. But now there are quite a few more including readings of both Eddas as well as a few sagas and some are in more than one language. The readings are well done and easy to understand. I am super impressed with the progress of this project so far and I look forward to seeing how it continues to grow..Version: 6.1
✓ LibriVox is Amazing.It’s a marvellous institution of like minded ,kind people ,giving up their time and what must be an ability of great concentration and will to take part in this amazing program..Version: 7.4.2
✓ Unnecessary AdsThis app was great when it just hosted the audiobooks, but since they started including apps between every single chapter they’ve seriously damaged the immersion the books can provide. It also seems unjustified because the website itself is free and the books are all read by volunteers, so there’s no need to make a quick buck off of other people’s ‘pro bono’ work..Version: 7.3.1
✓ Dark FantasyI love LibriVox , there is a huge variety of books to listen too . I think it’s great that they are read by volunteers , some of whom are just brilliant . And it all free, accessible to all . ❤️🌹❤️.Version: 7.3.1
✓ So far, so goodI have recently looked through the collection LibriVox has, and I have been surprised and delighted. The classics and philosophic works that could cost as much as forty dollars each as an audiobook were on my phone in mere moments. The quality of the works I have listened to is excellent, the continuity of volunteers and rhythm is fantastic for staying in the story. I believe librivox to be invaluable to those of us who have greater curiosity than funds, and I appreciate their efforts..Version: 6.1
✓ CommercialsI absolutely love this app! I have arthritis, very bad, in my phone, so I need to use audiobooks. I do, however, have one huge complaint! I set a timer, so that I can slip off, to sleep, each night. I understand the need to advertise, and have seen many, included with the pictures of books. I don’t mind that at all! But now I find, that as I drop off to sleep, a VERY loud and intrusive, pop up, and wake me. So instead of using this app every night, I must use a library audiobook. Very disappointing!.Version: 7.0.3
✓ Help pleaseMy husband and I love this app and have used it for ages but recently (May 2022) there has been a problem with it cutting out continuously during a chapter of a book. We have tried using three different phones and same problem. Hopefully you can fix this problem. Thank you..Version: 8.4.2
✓ Worth downloadThey have some interesting books of different categories but need a few more but definitely some good free reads 👌👌.Version: 8.1.1
✓ I love thisAmazing app I genuinely thought this was gonna be very ad app, but theres barely any ads. love it!.Version: 8.4.4
✓ Great resourceLots of options for listening to classic full free audiobooks; they can be downloaded for listening anywhere. Obviously some readers and their audio (or enunciation) quality may vary, but for a free app and service of Audiobooks, in my experience this is second to none..Version: 8.0
✓ Beyond amazingI would rate this app more than 5 star. It's very useful. Saves me from transferring files from laptop to my phone..Version: 6.1
✓ Best Free App EVER!This is an amazing gift to us all. There are some super talented readers who have donated hours of their time to share some great literature with us. I am very grateful to them all! You can search google to find the names of some superior readers..Version: 8.6.0
✓ A treasure. What a trove of good listening.LibriVox gives me a world of pleasure.!.Version: 8.2.1
