What Have You Done?
I have been using this app for years, but lately I’ve listened more to audio books from the library. Today I came back to LibriVox to re-listen to an old favorite, Pride and Prejudice read by Elizabeth Klett. The app used to work flawlessly for me. I’m finding the upgraded version impossible to use.
First I had trouble finding the version I wanted. Then when I finally found it, I clicked on “download” and can’t see where we are in the download process. I clicked on chapter one to listen while downloading and it stopped reading at the end of the first chapter but I’m no longer on the download screen. It appears that I’ll need to start the download process over again since there’s no indication of what’s been downloaded. I can’t find any sign that the book has even been downloaded at all.
Please, please put it back the way it was. I have loved LibriVox but I may need to find a different app…

Dreadful
Audio does not play at all on my iPad even though I paid for unlimited listening, a complete rip off!
Response from developer
Hi, Sllea We are sorry to learn the audio did not play on your device. Please do contact Apple Store to have a refund. We do not believe you should be charged if you are not satisfied with the product. May we also suggest that you try the free version first. Purchase the paid version only after the free version works to your satisfaction. Thank you again for your feedback, and we will try our best to figure out why the audio did not play on your device. We would be very grateful if you could email us more detailed info for us to fix the bug. Thank you! Himalaya-Soft Support
Great APP
If you like classic fiction and non fiction this app is for you. I simply love it
Love the selections
I listen to audiobooks daily while working and this app never lets me down.
I Love This App
First let me say "Thank you!" for 3 or 4 years of joy given to me while listening to books by way of this app. It really simplifies my audiobook experience.
There are a couple of features that I wish could be added: first, it would be helpful, when downloading books if there was something indicating how much of a chapter has been downloaded and how much is left to go. Because I only download using wifi, I sometimes may leave the house and the download stops part way through. That brings me to the second wish. I wish there was a way that The app could pick up where it left off (or re-download the last chapter) instead of going on to the following chapter. Nothing is more frustrating than discovering, while away from wifi, that only part of a chapter was downloaded.
Again, thank you for an excellent app!

The best audio book app?!!
I have used a lot of audio book apps and none of them come close to the sound quality of this one! Great readers and reliable volume between chapters. Loads of books to choose from. With and easy to use sleep timer. You will not be disappointed!
finally all fixed
i loved this app, which is the only one that links live with LibriVox database and allows me to search in many different ways, but had a few issues and seem to have finally fixed them all. it is now the best librvox app i can find.
thank you developer.
thank you developer.
The only true Librivox app
Tried many apps but most seem to just copy a few books from librivox.org, and you never know what you are missing until you compare with the librivox.org website.
This is the only app that comes very close to what a Librovox.org app should be.

great app
I love it very much.
Absolute Rubbish- DO NOT DOWNLOAD
I've used Librivox for years and know that Apple has a podcast facility which lists ALL of Librivox's books.
This app is misleading in the extreme - firstly, it ACTUALLY consists of loads of rubbish which has nothing to DO with Librivox and if you type in the search bar, for books you KNOW are on Librivox,nothing at all comes up.
I tried it with Dostoevsky as I'm already in the middle of listening to a Librivox version of Crime and Punishment and, guess what, on THIS app it simply says 'no results'.
No idea what their aim is, presumably to sell me something, not sure but do not bother to download, it's beyond useless. Uninstalled immediately.
