I listen, as many do, at night while in bed. I often want to drift off after 15, 30, or 45 minutes. This is quite helpful as short chapters can end too soon. ### 4/5 — Hands Free Reading Enjoyment *2015-10-06* I am really enjoying being able to read while I do other things around the house. I guess you would call that multitasking. I like to listen to books while walking on the treadmill, while riding the exercise bike, while crocheting and while cooking. I am still learning my way around the program, though. I gave it four stars only because I tire of listening to the preamble at the beginning of many chapters, but I understand it is advertising and keeps the app free. Overall, I am very pleased with its function. ### 3/5 — Love the idea, but it needs work *2015-07-09, version 7.1* The app is great when I can listen straight through, but not when I need to pause midway. Sometimes it works perfectly. Other times it resets to the start of the chapter or to the home screen so that I have to reopen the book. And it's difficult to adjust the starting point with the tiny progress bar... Even with these shortcomings, it's a handy app. I might even volunteer to read for Librovox... ### 3/5 — Good but annoying! *2015-01-10* I use this app all the time and it generally very good!!! The titles cover a wide range of genres and the readers are for the most part bearable. I have listened to many books I would never have thought of reading and have discovered new authors whose work I enjoy as a result. The annoyances; the adverts ( enough said!) and the intermittent novel text. Sometimes I have it and sometimes I don't and it can be very trying to find where you are if you change devices mid book, with not a jot of text to help you, 1 of 1 is not helpful!!! ### 4/5 — 9/10 *2014-10-26* It's so easy to use, loads of books to choose from and great audio quality ### 3/5 — Doreen T *2014-06-20* Hi thank you for lovely app I would love it to have a timer ### 4/5 — Great *2014-02-20, version 6.1* I like this app! ### 3/5 — Loves to listen *2013-08-31, version 6* I love audiobooks and its nice to be able to follow along with the narrator. I wish the program would turn the pages to follow the reader. This program would be much better if you could go to a page or chapter. It's nearly impossible to go forward or backward to any select location in the book. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — I can’t listening nothing *2020-04-02* I got this app but I can’t listen nothing! ### 1/5 — LovED this app, but... *2014-09-19, version 6.1* Since Apple's big update today, this app no longer works on my IPad. I'm very sad!!! ---Hopefully the designers can fix it. Also, can you make a way to edit our favorites? I added a book that I do NOT want in my favorites any longer. ### 1/5 — Could be much better *2014-07-27* Lots of glitches. Screen freezes, shame because it has a good selection. ### 1/5 — "Edison his life and invention" *2013-11-26, version 6.1* Pleas check "Edison his life and invention" have serious problem . ### 1/5 — Not liking this new version *2013-09-10, version 6* My iPad was stolen so I lost my favorite Jane Austen books. So I et a new iPad, and nothing will download. I get the message : download not successful. Days later still no success. The app is hard to use unlike the other one I had. It find it unresponsive many times. ### 2/5 — Audio books *2015-06-09* It is ok but the way to find a book is annoying. I was looking for sense and sensablility once and found a good one with great girl reader but I can't find that one any more so I have use this dumb boy reader. You should make it so I can search by author. I am really glad that it works on my I pad because I have the oldest I pad so I can't get the newer apps. Please keep it this way:) ### 2/5 — Misleading *2015-03-31* I downloaded this app as it promoted itself as "English" audiobooks, and I thought that meant "English accent" with the many English novels offered. I was as vanquished by the thick American drawl of the storyteller reading A Room With a View as I would have been hearing Huckleberry Finn read by a Scouse. It was impossible to suspend my disbelief and get into the story. I ended up deleting it. ### 2/5 — Would be 5 stars but unfortunately no way to search by language. *2013-11-13* Would be 5 stars but unfortunately no way to search by language ### 3/5 — Really good but much room for improvement *2017-06-22* I really enjoy this app. The main thing that I don't like is that some readers have a very specific accent and some readings are monotone. Plus I would like to know how long is the reading beforehand. ### 3/5 — A really good App *2016-10-23* I really like this App. I have been able to listen to many classics with absolutely superb readers. Unfortunately there are some poor readers with thick accents or those who read books in a robotic fashion. It is also annoying when there a number of volunteers who read various chapters in a book. Just when you are getting used to a voice, the reader changes and you have to readjust your listening. Another annoying element is that at the beginning of each chapter, you have to listen to the name of the book, the fact that the book is in the public domain, and advice on volunteering. Can't this be done once at the beginning of the novel? Despite these criticisms, I have had many, many pleasurable hours listening to the books and I am very grateful. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Suggestion *2020-02-10, version 8.6* Great app!
