Fantastic App
What I love about this app is the opportunity to support a local bookstore in my neighbourhood! It’s such a rewarding feeling to know that my purchases directly benefit a community shop. Plus, if you’re an educator, this app shines! They offer a fantastic selection of books, at no charge, especially audiobooks, every month that are perfect for sharing with students or adults you’re teaching. I haven’t encountered any other audiobook service providing such a thoughtful and generous option. This app is my top pick, and I’ve been a loyal user for several years. Hats off to Libro FM—keep up the fantastic work!

Truly the best audio book app
5Stars !!
Absolutely Worth It
Everything about this app is better than Audible. The curated lists are made by real humans who want you to read books you’ll like, not an algorithm built for profit.
The user interface makes it easy to find features like bookmarking and chapters. The discounts are on quality books, not just the chaff that’s fallen to the bottom.
And in the end you’re still supporting local, independent booksellers, not simply feeding the machine.
PLUS they don’t steal your credits if you cancel and make it easy to gift audiobooks.

Love supporting local shop
I also use Libby (daily) and Audible (a few times a week). The Library on Libro is divided into categories and therefore isn't as visual and easy to use as Libby. Smaller selection than audible even beyond original options. However I have been able to find popular new releases. The player also functions as well as the other two. They had an offer for a specific book for free on their website but I couldn't figure out how to purchase it. Overall I love supporting my local bookshop so will continue to use Libro. Just wish it was as easy to use as Libby.

The best place for DRM Free Audiobooks
Also great for supporting a local bookshop! App has worked great for me the past several years. Ditch Audible and check out Libro! It’s much less distracting and only focused on books. I like the Bookseller recommendations and they have deals periodically, as well as reduced price on purchases for members. Did I mention the audiobooks are DRM Free mp3s? You can transfer them to another player or another device, imagine that!

I was hesitant but boy what a beauty
I’m always hesitant to listen to a celebrity narration but as with the rest of her career, Meryl Streep has been an actor through and through and narrated this book like an absolute pro narrator. Beautiful characterization, beautiful capturing of the emotional nuances in the book. The writing of this book is so stunningly, gorgeous it is about everything and nothing. it’s about life and love parenthood and growing up and death just as Our Town is.
This is a mist listen

Superior Audiobooks
The premiere audiobook subscription service. Supporting local book stores and all at a reasonable price
Nags for App Store review
Interrupts immediately after pressing play (but without actually playing) to ask for an App Store review.
Otherwise it’s great!

DRM Free. Yippee
You 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.
Great playback experience!
I love this app! The playback experience is designed very intuitively. When pressing play again after pausing the book, it automatically rewinds a second or two before the point where you stopped. Not too much, just the perfect amount to give you better context when jumping back in. It’s a feature I didn’t know I needed, but now annoys me when I don’t have it on other apps!
