LibriVox Audio Books Pro App Reviews

I had a technical problem with the app and they fixed it and they wrote me back, an actual human email note thanking me for letting them know and explaining what went wrong. I’m grateful. Plus, this app seems to be the most convenient way to listen to LibriVox, and I’ve tried several. I listen everyday and have for years. To be clear the app is not affiliated with the LibriVox organization.

I recently updated the ap and they removed the navigation bar that allows you to quickly change to different part of story. Interestingly, it still appears in the photos of the app in the ap store. Also buttons are much, much smaller making them harder to use. There is so much screen space that thus was completely unnecessary. I highly regret updating the ap. Wish there was a way I could revert back to original.

I really like LibriVox and it’s volunteer readers. I’ve listened to books as I go to sleep for years. However, an update seems to have eliminated the chapter scroll bar. If I fall asleep during a chapter, I now have to start at the beginning and fast jump in 30 second increments to find my place again. I used to be able to move the slider to any point in the chapter.

As others have mentioned, the recent update removed the rapid access scroll feature, which I often used. Also removed were the quick chapter fwd/rev controls. The font was decreased too. The app is not as useful as before.

Learn for a lifetime and be a better person. It will look good on you! First step - all books by William Walker Atkinson….and go!

I came across this site while looking for a free audible book. It’s a wonderful source of classics and interesting reads. Most of the narrators are very good and easy to listen to.

What I love most is the ability to control playback speed via a sliding scale. This is way better than any other podcast app I have tried. Also love the ease of making lists and it serves up the newest Librivox offerings, snd it displays the cover art. I could go on and on raving about this app. I have the paid vat soon, which has no ads.

The hours I have spent listening to these wonderful productions have greatly enhanced my quality of life.

I have listened to many novels from LibriVox. If you pay attention to the settings as well as the story you will get a history lesson in architecture, household furnishings and the general tenor of life of humanity over the centuries.

July 19, 2022: They just sent me an email to let know they’ve fixed the bug. Back working!! 💪 Old note: Used to love this app. I have the Pro version. For the past week it’s quite impossible to use. It keeps on dropping. This is not due to a bad wi-fi connection, since I am using it with downloaded books. Update: I realized that the audiobook stops bc the app makes my phone heat up. I tried the free version and same thing happens, my phone gets hot and stops the audiobook. Finally, I had to lo

Until a few weeks ago, this worked just as expected but lately, there are multiple problems with the user interface: sudden stopping a minute or two into a new book, and display of book contents by chapter, at least. I hope these get fixed soon

I’ve been using this app to listen to all sorts of classic stories, mysteries and adventures. I have used this app for years and continue to come to it when I’m in need for being read to.

This is such a great resource! We use it ad-free - totally worth it.

LibriVox is a precious app, one of my very favorites. It is a gem. Getting caught up on and appreciating all the books I never read when I was younger. I have the ad free version, which I love.

My kids love this they don’t have too read there history I and I don’t either but I would love if they added "a child’s history of the world" but it’s still amazing I really do recommend this!

This rich and enjoyable novel is my top favorite. The narrator is absolutely superb. Enjoy!!

This app is amazing! Not all readers are equally good but no matter. I can listed anywhere. Love it and my kids love it.

Both readers do a very good job. This is not an easy novel to interpret but both readers seem to have done their homework, know and love the material and give an honest and believable rendering!

I’m listening to Grimms fairytales read by Bob Neufeld, wonderful listening, however each story skips a few seconds so you don’t hear the title. It’s very irritating, and you should fix it.

This version appears to support unlimited sequential listening. Ie listening to multiple chapters unattended. Plus no commercials. $1.99 is a an amazing price to access almost unlimited audio books.

Open access to some of western civilization’s greatest thinkers! Truly awe inspiring!

Great app. Before this was available I would have to manually download the files for each audio book from the Librivox website and transfer them via iTunes to play them from my phone. This is a really good resource!

The app works great and there’s no login, no password needed plus it will save your favorite and resume where you stopped.

I get this many great books for free and this convenient app for 2 fregin dollars. I’m so excited thank you. Audible classics has nothing on this.

Have used LibriVox for months, now it freezes, turns black, refuses to load etc. All volunteers so help is sketchy at best. I loved this project but the app is basically useless now. Very disappointing.

Tons of incredible books and lots of absolutely outstanding readers. I've listened to hundreds and hundreds of hours of great books and Great Books.

Great app. I use it all the time. There are varying levels of readers, but they’re almost all enjoyable and there are some great ones.

This is a treasure for the audio reader. The narrators and sound systems are a challenge. Some can’t get any worse but is a small price to pay.

This rich and enjoyable app is one of my favorites. It has many classics read by talented readers.

There are some very minor bugs in the app but generally, it’s wonderful.

I love librivox for giving me quality readings of my favorite books and authors. It is a wonderful resource. It makes my commute fly by.

What’s with the sudden influx of religious sermons. I mean, to each his own, but there are literally hundreds of them 😳

I love your classic books! You can tell the Bible readers are sincere in their faith. Thank you for this wonderful app!

An excellent way to access out of copyright literature

Wonderful reader ....wonderful book. Getting me through the pandemic. Thank you.

It was really good! And I loved it!

Please fix the bookmark function. Other than that thanks for the access to great works.

Can not fall asleep w/o being read to...

Better than giving my hard earned money to the jerks at audible. You can only find classic books here The readings are great!

I have to listen to this for school which is nice because I would usually have to read the books
