ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

uLIBRARY holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Audio Books Library Ereader has 23 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 16% of uLIBRARY's written reviews are positive against 36% of Audio Books Library Ereader's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

uLIBRARY ships an update every 2 months, Audio Books Library Ereader monthly. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
