A complicated life... beautiful narration.
How did we get to where we are, from where we have been? Jane Austen writes of such a complex life, which most of us in the 21st Century would find impossible to navigate, let alone survive. As always, we have so much to be thankful for. The narration by Elizabeth Klett is simply lovely. For those of us who enjoy audiobooks, the narrator is usually the deal breaker when it comes to choosing the book or not. Congratulations Ms. Klett.Show lessltlgne
La belle et la bete.
I needed something loke thisnto help me learn french about 50 years ago, but any audio tapes in francais cost so much, and the quality of the sound was not very good. This here, on the other hand, is very clear, with a native speaker doing the reading. The fact that this is free is a dream, a great blessing. I thank God for the altruism of the folks who put this together.Show lessavonardo
Amazing!
Wonderful! I use this all the time, and there’s always an interesting story waiting for me every time I open the app.
My only complaint is sometimes I cant understand the narrators. I understand that the narrators are volunteers, but maybe just review the audio, make sure that your listeners can understand them. Just a suggestion.
Otherwise, amazing app!Show lessJmills7777
Downloaded files repeatedly deleted
For a long time this was a great app- the narration and user interface were great, and so many books to choose from! But there has been a recurring problem with the files simply disappearing all at once. All books will be 100%, and the next time I open the app, they will all be 0%. Repeatedly. I only have a few books at a time and plenty of memory, so I don’t see why it should purge like this. Honestly tempted to delete the app if I can’t even listen to one book without downloading it four times.Show lessWord choice matters
Sometimes great
I love this as a resource but I wish they curated some of the people who do the reading a bit more critically. When listening to the Count of Monte Cristo, chapters 25 and 26 are nearly unlistenable. The woman has thick accent and is clearly uncomfortable reading English, also her audio equipment is terrible. There is a high pitched sound in the background. Very difficult to listen to. Some of the readers are great, with good voices and high audio quality. But some aren’t nearly as good. I especially the narrator in chapters 25 and 26. I can’t really under what happened in those chapters. Looking back I should have just skipped them and looked up what happened. It gave me a terrible headache.Show lessverkingetorix
So thankful!!!!
I am so appreciative of this app. Most audio book apps cost money. I am a wife and a mother of five children. Money is very sparse in my house especially for extras. I used to be an avid reader but with the business of caring for a large household as well as dealing with focus issues as I get older, it is very difficult to find the time to read a book.
Now, I’m able to enjoy literature as I wash dishes or care for other responsibilities around the house and it is helping to keep my spirits up.
Thank you!❤️Show lessBlaquebuttaphly
easy to use for streaming and download books
I use voiceover. This app is the easiest to use when streaming and downloading book using voice over. I have tried many other apps.Tina-Kops
Good books, Okay narrating
I have enjoyed these books so much! I got Audiobooks Plus, which is somewhat better. Some narrators are good, but the quality varies. I had to stop reading one audiobook because I could barely understood what they said. And another Plus book was read by a child. Not an enjoyable read. But you can sometimes get a good reader. Overall, if you want to hear a book, regardless of how you hear it, this is the place to go. The Sherlock Holmes reading is excellent (If you do the ones by David Clarke.) There are some small errors in the organization of the books in the authors, for example.
My rating (out of 5 stars)

Spell binding
Surprise at every turn. I didn’t know where it would lead & was forced to keep listening. Really enjoyed the short story. It said a lot about where power will lead a person.Slim Jane
Great app except
You have changed the view on this app so that the font is much larger. It isn’t something I can change. When you want to do a search for a new book you only use 1/2 to 1/3 of the page so you can only see a few titles at a time. I can no longer scroll through quickly to find a new book.
Also is there a way the app could know which books we have already read without downloading it again to find out?Show lessBjxski
