Last chapters don’t work
Lovely app but it seems like the last chapters of a lot of the books just don’t work?? No rhyme or reason, they’ll work fine and then stop working for a while and then work again. Downloading doesn’t help. Seems like a pretty serious problem to me!Perhaps perhaps perhaps
Love this app but for one thing
And that is that it does not fully sync with other iOS devices. There is an online account. But it does not retrain your book or place where you ended in all but the last device you listened to. So you have to relisten or try and find your place. But if you only use it on one device it is great A bit overpriced at $4 I think.Show lessAncientThunder
A human project
This app is the marriage of a work of love and a welcoming attitude. This means even poorly dictated recordings are allowed but it’s okay because without them many books wouldn’t be available.
Get the PAID version because it’s very cheap to remove adds and for some reason the text speed reader will adjust better...Show lessZyklon A
Great app...
There’s a bug with elements getting moved over from the right by about 1cm, and sometimes the icons are incorrect when showing which chapters are downloading, but there are no ads, it works both online and off (if you download the audiobooks), the controls are simple and the big buttons make it easy (meaning a lot more safe) to use if I’m driving. I hope the bugs get fixed. They have seemed to linger. I also hope they make it so artwork gets saved for offline use when downloading an audiobook. Right now, it shows a generic cover when listening offline. Please don’t take my constructive criticism as a condemnation. This is a great app! I use it all the time, which is testimony to that. I’m very happy with it. I’d like to see some fixes done, but I’m also very grateful and happy with it as it is. Thank you to the developers for creating it and also for making sure to note “no ads” when issuing an update. I have had other developers put in ads without warning me and it’s really upset me. None of that here! Just honest updates. Thank you!Show lesssky_blue02
4.5 stars.....
Love this app! BUT.....maybe it’s my small iPhone SE, but the elapsed time is not completely displayed, nor is the chapter currently playing. But the most annoying thing is that when I go back to the app after being away (even if I didn’t close it, but just switch over momentarily to another), the book chapter I was listening to doesn’t come up onscreen, and I have to hunt for it. It’s in the “recent” section, but not at the top or bottom (in case of sorting). Other than that, love the concept, love the app (much better than trying to listen from website). THANK YOU LibriVox and LibriVox volunteers! Blessings!Show lessWknitter12x12
Invaluable
Since discovering this wonderful program, I know I am able to retire in the evening, knowing I will have wonderful books, etc to listen to. This simple pleasure allows me to listen to my LibriVox choice, timing it to stop for the night when desired. One has no idea how important this can be. It takes me away from any worries of the day, into another world. I’m in my 80’s, so the choices available to select from, allows me to go back to some childhood days. Love it. Thanks so very much.Show lessdiannecan
All of the Books you were supposed to read.
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.Den Ard
Great app
This is a great app that reads to us as we drive around town or to bring entertainment to mindless tasks like laundry, dishes, and cleaning bathrooms.
Spend the $2 to save yourself from the annoying commercials or to keep your kids from accessing the web without parental controls by clicking on the ads 😬.
Improvements: that there are two rating systems for books. First, for the content of the book and secondly for the quality of the reader(s). Also that it can somehow date stamp when I finish a book.Show lessAntcheetahowl
1 thumbs up.
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.AJayMorris
Priceless resource!
It is unbelievable to me that I can listen to many first person journals and accounts, also classical works on LibriVox- for free! I can’t say enough good things about LibriVox.
The only drawback is that the volunteer readers can be uneven in quality. Some are amazing, like the person that reads John Muir’s early journals. Others perform readings providing only a perfunctory performance or speed through without any nuance at all. So many wonderful readers outweigh the poor ones. All in all a fabulous resource! Thank you so much!Show lessSitterwoman23
