Now on my car they play by Bluetooth thru the car radio. ### 4/5 — I love this app but… *2024-10-14, version 7.4.1* I have enjoyed this app so much but suddenly it has stopped working. The books will download but they won’t play. I don’t know how to fix it. I deleted the app and reloaded it, but it still doesn’t work. Has anyone else had this issue? ### 3/5 — Urgently needs an update! *2024-08-08, version 7.4.1* This app urgently needs an update as it barely works now. It glitches and freezes a lot. When downloading content, it becomes unresponsive and sometimes crashes. It used to work flawlessly when I first started using it, but over the years it has become unstable, as there have been many iOS updates since the last app update 3 years ago. ### 5/5 — Free audiobooks *2024-07-20, version 7.4.1* Great app that allows me to enjoy many of the classics. ### 4/5 — Good app! *2024-06-19, version 7.4.1* No ads, calm voices, and pretty good books considering you don’t have to sign up or pay anything! I’m a fan :) it has all the classics! ### 5/5 — Review *2024-04-10, version 7.4.1* My audio book was amazing and very satisfying.

I’m not moving around, but it keeps cutting off. The response time of checking other parts of the app are extremely slow, and it has sped up the speed multiple times despite not touching it. Please tell me if there’s anything I can do to restore it’s former glory! ### 5/5 — Loop function *2023-12-08, version 7.4.1* Can we have a loop function to listen to one chapter over and over again? ### 4/5 — It’s pretty cool *2023-11-09, version 7.4.1* I really like it , pretty simple to use , I wish I could read along with it as I’m listening , if that makes sense , but it always helps me sleep because I can’t sleep without hearing noises. ### 5/5 — Good *2023-10-09, version 7.4.1* I like ### 5/5 — Good *2023-10-09, version 7.4.1* Good ### 5/5 — Very good *2023-10-09, version 7.4.1* I like ### 5/5 — Like *2023-10-09, version 7.4.1* I like ### 5/5 — Good *2023-10-09, version 7.4.1* Good ### 5/5 — Like *2023-10-09, version 7.4.1* I like ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Dead *2025-11-08, version 7.4.1* This used to be a great app, but it has not been updated in years. It’s a shame it was such a great resource. ### 1/5 — Percy Jackson *2024-01-06, version 7.4.1* Dose not have Percy Jackson ### 1/5 — Buggy *2023-07-20, version 7.4.1* The app does not respond to my commands after the first command. ### 1/5 — Books not available for download *2023-07-10, version 7.4.1* Waste of ur money Can’t download on iPhone 8 ### 1/5 — You need to have Harry Potter *2023-03-17, version 7.4.1* You neeeeeeeeeed Harry Potter ### 1/5 — Grr *2023-03-04, version 7.4.1* I hate it ### 1/5 — Slow and had no good books *2022-09-25, version 7.4.1* All the books that are available to read are boring and slow/glitchy when you read them there are no books like heartstopper or any comics (which it should) and when you search for books the keyboard is really slow it would take my 1 minute to do 1 letter! The overall rating is ⭐️because I possibly can’t rate it less. If I could I’d give it -100000000000!!! ### 1/5 — All of a sudden just stopped playing entirely *2022-07-30, version 7.4.1* Just stopped working. At first it would randomly close itself out without being on the sleep timer. Now it just won’t start at all. It’s not my phone be can still use the books app to play other audiobooks. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t have all the books you want! *2022-07-18, version 7.4.1* Hello developers I have tried to find the book by the name of the road to winter but you don’t have it nor do you have the author of the book mark smith anywhere on this app please add it to audio books ### 1/5 — Missing a Lot *2022-06-14, version 7.4.1* Not many good boos to choose from. No good. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — 5/5 *2025-12-14, version 7.4.1* It was OK however it didn’t have the books that I really like like Edgar Allan Poe, and the voices weren’t the best. It was kind of hard to understand them, but I would recommend because I could tell they worked hard and the voices don’t sound like AI which I very much so appreciate. ### 5/5 — The Call of the Wild *2025-11-11, version 7.4.1* Absolutely loved this story and the way it was so well read. I am sewing a quilt , my room full of sunshine and listening to the story making my day wonderful. Years ago we actually got to visit, had a picnic at The Jack London Historic Park. Thank you. ### 5/5 — Suggested books to try *2025-08-20, version 7.4.1* Try Kim by Rudyard Kipling read by Adrian Prydzellis. His voices of different characters brings the book to life. Wonderful. Other suggested books: Ivanhoe O! Pioneers! ### 5/5 — UNBELIEVABLE - BEAUTIFUL *2025-07-20, version 7.4.1* A great way to come back to Shakespeare ### 5/5 — Innocents Abroad *2025-07-07, version 7.4.1* Narrator is spectacular. ### 5/5 — Only so this gets attention *2025-06-25* So I only put this at 5 stars so there would be a better chance of people seeing this. There’s ONLY lesser known books. I was trying to find Animal Farm (by George Orwell) it wasn’t on here. I don’t really like this app but it’s good enough for the most random ahh books you can find. I haven’t even heard of the first book and author that came up. 2/5 don’t recommend. ### 5/5 — U must down load this app! *2025-05-22, version 7.4.1* It's great and if I had to choose between all the different audiobook apps I would choose this one. Whenever I'm having trouble sleeping at night I open this app and listen to Anne of Green gables and Romeo and Juliet ### 5/5 — Great *2025-01-15, version 7.4.1* Great but a little slow ### 5/5 — Love your books! *2025-01-07, version 7.4.1* I love your audiobooks so much, they allow me to read the book without looking at the pages. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to listen to books and relax at the same time. ### 5/5 — C *2025-01-01, version 7.4.1* A B --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
