Love it

I love Libra.fm because it allows me to support my local bookstore. The app is easy to use. I only wish I could download it in my Chevy Blazer, which allows other audiobook apps.

LOVE Supporting Small Business

I’m so thrilled that this can be linked to our local book store. And that we actually own the audiobooks we purchase. So easy to use, I recommend this to everyone!

The best audiobook app

an audiobook app that supports local bookshops?? Incredible concept. Also, I once accidentally bought a book in the wrong language and they refunded it for me!! The team is incredibly responsive - thanks guys!

The smarter way to listen

When seeking out audiobooks to own, Libro is a fabulous alternative to the soulless mega corporation that need not be named. Libro has a great selection, it is fairly priced, and it supports independent booksellers.

5 stars

Support my local indie bookstore while still getting access to all the new audiobooks? Yes please!

The best audiobook service available

You can support your local book store, get audiobooks for good prices, and give your business to a company with morals instead of massive greedy corporations (*cough* Amazon *cough*). I absolutely recommend Libro.fm!!

Great choice but expensive

Too expensive a service though I loved the range of books and ability to support a local independent bookstore with every purchase.

This app supports independent booksellers!!!

Libro’s functionality and features stand on par with its peers, but here’s why I’m such a fan:
- Purchases benefit the independent bookseller of (my) choice.
- In addition, the real, live humans behind the app are responsive and kind.
Not only do I enjoy the listening experience, but I also have the joy of supporting something that aligns with my values.

More ethical choice than Audible

Enjoy your audiobooks without giving Bezos any more of your hard earned money.

Brilliant

Love getting to support a local queer bookshop

Almost perfect

I love this app. It’s almost perfect. I love that I support a local independent bookstore with purchases and that I don’t have books disappear on me like I had with Audible.

It would be a fully perfect app if it were easier to sort books by author or series. I wish I could sort by genre or have my series stack together.

It’s definitely not a dealbreaker for me though. It’s a great app and I use it daily.

One Missing Feature

This is a great app and a great Audible alternative, but for me it has one key missing feature: when I am listening, I want to be able to see the time remaining in the book on the timer bar, not the time remaining in the chapter. This is especially annoying using Apple CarPlay because it doesn’t even have the little app menu item above the timer bar that says how much time is remaining. I listen to books a lot when I drive and I really want to know how much time is remaining in the book while I’m listening to it, not remaining in the chapter. Audible has this feature where you can toggle the timer bar to go between time remaining in the chapter or time remaining in the book and I cannot find that feature at all on Libro.fm.

Better than audible in terms of ownership

Wish there was books to buy aswell as audiobooks

Interruptions

Interrupted what I was doing to ask for a review 1 star

Amazing!

This app is truly the best app for audiobooks! You don’t lose your credit, you keep the books you purchase with your credits so you can listen any time you want. It helps a local bookstore too!

Best audiobook company by FARy

The app is user friendly, the book selection is great and the company is incredible. You get the audiobooks you want and support an independent bookstore at the same time and I love both of those things.

Support your local bookstore!

I love that I can buy audiobooks and my local bookstore gets paid! It’s a win win for me who really loves being read out loud to! And no more $ to Amazon!

Dear Reader

The best audiobook app next to Libby! And only because Libby is free. I can find most books here. The quality is excellent and the price great!

Great service

It's so good to have a high quality option to Amazon. I'm able to get titles they don't even have.

Best Audiobook App

I love supporting both libro and my independent bookstore at the same time! Always a solid selection, app always works seamlessly, and it’s amazing customer service. 10/10 recommend!
