### 4/5 — Une belle bibliothèque

*2023-10-16*

L’un des grands intérêts est la (re)découverte d’œuvres rares d’écrivains célèbres en leur temps ou toujours reconnus

### 4/5 — Каталоги

*2023-08-07*

Как редактировать  список добавленных каталогов!?

### 4/5 — No updates in 2 years?

*2022-07-05, version 3.12*

The Devs polished up the free version of this app last year, which is something at least. I really enjoy using this to find interesting books, so I hope they keep up with the current iPhone OS.

### 5/5 — Best of its kind…

*2022-02-10, version 3.12*

With its suite of resources (Project Gutenberg and others) it throws the net wider than any other app I’m aware of and brings the biggest haul of ebooks for sale and, most especially, freebies from the public domain. Indispensable!

### 5/5 — Perfect

*2021-11-06, version 3.12*

Always been a favourite app of mine and the newer design is even better. Would and have recommended to everyone. Still a favourite ten or more years on.

### 5/5 — Wonderful alternative to search for a book.

*2021-07-26, version 3.12*

You can search by Title or a favorite Author.

### 5/5 — Like a diamond in the rough

*2021-04-27, version 3.12*

Not only is this a valuable place to just come and find great books, but it’s legitimately a place to find great resources. 
I have downloaded, no word of a lie, medical textbooks, (specifically for the sake of interest and information- not because I’m in school and super cheap 😛) I’ve downloaded legal documents and their reviews which have helped me understand specific issues I’ve faced. It’s like a goldmine. 
Never close this beautiful, valuable, treasure trove. I’m on here all the time.

### 5/5 — That rocked.

*2021-03-14, version 3.12*

Searching from various sources was easy and understandable, and downloading to my iPhone folder was also simple! Finally, an app that just delivers results straightaway.

### 5/5 — Thank you

*2020-11-25, version 3.12*

I have learned so much just from reading all the stuff I find on the archive.

### 4/5 — eBook search

*2020-11-07*

Неплохое приложение. Жаль на русском немного литературы по сравнению с библиотекой Пухлого Литрес и т.д

### 5/5 — Le régal des Amoureux de la lecture

*2020-10-25*

Appli généreuse : MERCI et BRAVO.

### 5/5 — Works as intended

*2020-09-24, version 3.11*

This in an excellent source of free e-books.  The older mysteries and thrillers are well written and are fun to read.  You can search Project Gutenberg by author.  Try searching for R. Austin Freeman or Sax Rohmer.   Enjoy!

### 4/5 — Good book search tool in most languages

*2020-09-17, version 3.12*

Thanks for making readers happy

### 5/5 — E Book Search

*2020-09-02, version 3.12*

Easy to use, a growing source of material, and multiple formats into which the manuscripts can be converted.  What more do you need.

### 5/5 — Review

*2020-08-11, version 3.12*

This is a great app.

### 5/5 — E-book Search

*2020-08-08, version 3.12*

I’ve thoroughly enjoyed finding old classics not found on any other site!

### 1/5 — Don’t bother with the paid version

*2021-08-03, version 3.12*

I thought that this was going to be a good app and so I stupidly paid for the full ad free version, not a vast sum but if I wanted to waste money, I would throw it away in my local high street, whatever the finder should want to spend it on it would be more satisfactory than this app. I’ve just given up after over 20 times trying to download the free books and every attempt is greeted with, “unsuccessful “, no how’s and why’s, just one word. It’s not as if the title was obscure, “All Quiet on the Western Front” is a classic and there are untold copies on the app, but conveniently, none of the free versions will download. Of course, I could always buy it, but I won’t on principle, I paid for an app that can find free copies of more books than I could read in a lifetime. I shall seek the book on Amazon for kindle as there are always loads of free books to download.

### 1/5 — Coûte 1€. Ne vaut pas plus

*2021-03-05*

Cette appli donne la possibilité d’aller télécharger des livres gratuits sur de sites qu’on peut trouver très rapidement sur internet.

### 1/5 — Эх

*2020-09-25*

Не скачивает

### 1/5 — Не обновляй!

*2020-06-27*

Перестала скачивать, ошибка при сохранении

### 1/5 — Unable to download any book

*2020-05-30*

I paid 79₹ for this app and it has the same content for my region as the free app. Also whenever I try to download any free book i get a message saying its unavailable. I want my refund this app is useless.

### 1/5 — Für gezieltes Suchen unbrauchbar.

*2020-05-22*

Was eine kostenpflichtige App in dieser Kategorie auszeichnen soll ist die Suchfunktion: es fehlen Filter und andere Funktionen für ein gezieltes effizientes Suchen und Finden! Zum Beispiel, eine Suche mit dem Titel "das Gesetzbuch von Manu" spukt ein Haufen Bücher ohne Bezug auf den gesuchten Titel usw. Bei weitem effizienter und zeitsparender ist das Suchen mit Google.

### 1/5 — Bad

*2020-03-30, version 3.11*

Horrible it said books were free I tried to download one and said book is three dollars if you want to pay lots o money after promised free books and bought the app for one dollar go ahead

### 1/5 — Rip off

*2019-09-15, version 3.11*

Bought a while series of books and now I ha e no way of locating them whatsoever the menu is ridiculous it runs u in circles it’s not clear or easy to navigate and doesn’t tell u how to get to books you have purchased

### 1/5 — Обман

*2019-06-09*

Списали 150 р а запрашивали 75

### 1/5 — Платная версия. Не работает!

*2018-11-09*

Перестал работать поиск, добавленные каталоги тоже перестали работать. В литресе названия книг отображаются, а самих книг нет. Остались книги на иностранных языках, а они не актуальны! Приложение утратило нужные функции. Удаляю!

### 5/5 — Parfait pour lire des classiques gratuitement.

*2025-04-07*

Taupe !

### 5/5 — Where is My Book?

*2025-01-26, version 3.13*

I love this app. I have found so many obscure and vintage books! I have found books I didn’t even know existed! I found short books for those 15 minutes you’re on coffee break. Love love this app.

### 5/5 — Great resource

*2024-04-02, version 3.13*

Free, most books have been scanned with great quality, easy to open .pdf files via Acrobat, love the access and the ease of use

### 5/5 — Wow

*2023-10-05, version 3.13*

So much here . I’m like a kid in a candy store, I can’t believe there is so much here . I’m telling everyone I know .

### 5/5 — Топ

*2023-10-01*

Несколько лет пользуюсь. Зашло

### 5/5 — Access to historical treasures!

*2023-09-29, version 3.13*

An App that can download the entire worldwide library to your device. Books, magazines, old children’s books, non-fiction, in all languages the book was published; the historical treasures this app and Project Gutenburg provide access to are of immeasurable value!

### 5/5 — Поддержка opds

*2023-01-07*

,Поддержка opds каталогов + связка с fb2reader = и на выходе идеальная связка для чтения

### 5/5 — Gutenberg rival

*2022-12-18, version 3.12*

This is an excellent and easy app for eBook search, download and read..so far, as good as Gutenberg which is almost blasphemy..I could be shot at dawn..but be aware, , like Gutenberg, most books written decades before total social enlightenment and some  texts may contain offensive and hurtful  material - e.g. racist and homophobic passages - which were tragically part and parcel of the accepted beliefs of those times..(Thank God not acceptable today!)

### 5/5 — Easy access to old gems

*2022-06-02, version 3.12*

I was able to find a free download of an obscure book, it took me less than two minutes! I searched in one database of free books, not there. Then I searched in another, and there it was! It was available in two versions, so I chose the Kindle version. No cost, no waiting for delivery!
