LibriVox Audiobook holds the better App Store score, 3.9 against 3.7. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 23 and 17 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 30% of LibriVox Audiobook's written reviews are positive against 67% of iVOX's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
