I have tried many times and very disappointed. I am a retired teacher and to me this is false advertising after I purchased the app and upgrade. It is not appropriate to falsify information to the public. I see you have already charged my account. I have tried 6 watching the downloading and 6 times to told it was Not downloaded. I watched All the chapters being downloaded. I play the first chapter and there is nothing. Wait for it to download. It was already downloaded. Still nothing. This app does Not work. A waste of time and money especially when it says it is free, and I paid for the better app which is a mistake as well. ### 1/5 — Ne fonctionne plus après l’achat *2023-12-20* J’achète la version illimité pour ne plus être embêter par les pubs, et puis ne fonctionne plus! C’est une blague! Ne l’achetez pas il fonctionnera mieux ;) J’essaie une réclamation, je verrai bien. ### 4/5 — Needs speed *2022-09-12* I like the app. I’d like it even more if there was a way to increase the speed of the audio. ### 1/5 — 死机了 *2022-03-23* bug ### 3/5 — Withering Heights *2020-08-24* Servants voice unintelligible **Developer response:** Hi Mcumberbatch, Thank your for sharing with us your experience. "Wuthering Heights" happens to be one of my favorites. Most books have multiple versions of recording. To find a version I like, I just use the 'Catalog' and search for "Withering Heights", and then sample the audios to decide which one I like most. I hope you will find find an alternative version in the catalog. Sincerely, Your developer ### 1/5 — Time wasting *2020-06-25* Dont waste time with this app ### 5/5 — Audiobook lover *2019-07-02* There’s simply no other way to say it, this app rocks ### 5/5 — It’s free and OK *2019-07-02* Mostly, we get what we pay for. Couldn’t find audio in another language. Some of the readers have annoying voices and dodgy pronunciations. This is a free app so I cannot complain. **Developer response:** Dear layla, Thank you so much for sharing with us your experience. (1) To change the audio playback speed, tap the 'gear' icon in the bottom-left corner of the app home screen, and then slide the playback speed slider. (2) Librivox audio books are read by volunteers. Often the same book may have many different editions by read different readers. Maybe you could try different editions and find one that suits your preferences. Thank you again Himalaya-soft support ### 5/5 — This app *2018-10-25* Had this app on my nook tablet, then on my iPhone 4. Since upgrading to more phones, caught up in other things forgot how I missed audiobooks. While life has changed and slowed down a bit. I finally got to download again. Indispensable app not just because it’s free but for content. It has helped me with my own short stories and poetry. By taking a journey back to literary classics. Take the leap , let your mind escape and read or listen. ### 4/5 — Needs improvement *2018-02-28* I paid for this App and also have given a lot of feedback and the developers are listening and making changes. Wait till you see new upgrades before you judge to harshly. I have asked for changes to the lock screen so you can advance or backtrack, show the CD art in the librivox site, and the duration timer. If that I will be super happy!! **Developer response:** Hi Bill In the newly released version we have implemented most of your suggestions, which made the app so much better. Thank you so much for your suggestions. We look forward to receiving more feedback from you.
