### 5/5 — Good Selection

*2026-08-26, version 12.1.0*

There’s a good selection of book and it not requiring a subscription like Audible is a huge plus for someone like me who doesn’t read consistently

### 5/5 — Harry Potter

*2026-08-26, version 12.1.0*

Fantastic

### 5/5 — Throne of glass

*2026-08-26, version 12.1.0*

Excellent

### 5/5 — Use this app

*2026-08-25, version 12.1.0*

Using Audiobooks was easy. I was able to listen to my book in the car, on my iPad and phone. The best was the uninterrupted listening. I would sometimes go between all my devices on the same day but I never had to remember where I left off. The switch was easy. I would recommend this app.

### 4/5 — Great

*2026-08-25, version 12.1.0*

It does everything you’d expect, and does it well

### 3/5 — Audio selection

*2026-08-25, version 12.1.0*

I wish there were more urban titles to choose from.

### 5/5 — Great Audiobooks!

*2026-08-24, version 12.1.0*

Great alternative source to audible and wonderful quality!

### 4/5 — Great App!

*2026-08-24, version 12.1.0*

I am listening to Robert Fagles’s translation of the Odyssey by Homer and I am enjoying it very much. This app is very easy to use and very simple and I appreciate that. I am following along with the audio as I am reading the actual text so the only annoying part is that when I put the book down and come back to start listening again the app list the tracks and not the chapters or the lines in the book, so there is a mismatch there. But I don’t know if that is due to the hexameter style or if this is just the way the app works. This is just a minor inconvenience as I can easily add a bookmark in the app and also a bookmark in the text. Either way I will still keep using this app, as I as I plan to listen to many more audiobooks!

### 5/5 — Straightforward app

*2026-08-24, version 12.1.0*

No complaints. The app is simple and straightforward. I appreciate being able to increase my listening speed beyond 2x. So far it’s had all the books I’ve been looking for.

### 5/5 — Good app

*2026-08-24, version 12.1.0*

Give it a try
