Librivox Audiiobooks

I purchased two of these apps last night, the regular and paid, and still cannot pull up the book I chose. 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.

Ne fonctionne plus après l’achat

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.

Needs speed

I like the app. I’d like it even more if there was a way to increase the speed of the audio.

Withering Heights

Response from developer

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

Time wasting

Dont waste time with this app

Audiobook lover

There’s simply no other way to say it, this app rocks

It’s free and OK

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.

This app

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.

Needs improvement

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!!

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. Himalaya-Soft Support Team

It doesn’t work!

I bought the 3,99€ version to be able to finish my book and listen to others but it doesn’t work! Otherwise it was nice until then!

Disappointed in IU and content

When the app was described it sounded as though searching would be full and simple. When tapping on favorite narrators, nothing happens. There is not a complete subcategory listing under different genres like in my free LibriVox apps. My fault for being sucked in by marketing. I should have read more of the reviews.

New bug introduced

First time I've used this pice of junk for two years, so downloaded new versions of several pices of software. Fairly typical update - ie: it's worse! The clunky tape-style rewind/fast forward control has been replaced with an even clunkier slider. Also fails at chapter boundaries with an "internet unreachable" message - even though I am listening to downloaded books while not connected. Never a problem before! The real problem, of course, is that Apple stuff, despite what the b@stards at Apple might think is yesterdays tecnology and no-one is bothering to properly maintain or improve software for thir antedeluvian products.

Can't open

Can't open any book

These are not free.

Very misleading term "free". This app merely offers samples of audiobooks which require purchase for you to complete.

Stop

Not at all user friendly. The ads are annoying, and overall a terrible a terrible app.

Half Assed

This app is useless. It is a way for the creator to make a quick buck with all of the pop up ads.

Best of the librivox apps

Not the best UI, but functionally has everything you need, including a sleep timer.

Great, I can follow the book with the audio

I think that is the special characteristics of this app for Librivox, English is not my first language and this is a great tool to improve my English.

Thanks a lot.

Great app needs bug fix!

Awesome app I love it but recently it has been having issues. App launches then returns to home screen :( :(
