5/5Great app...
There’s a bug with elements getting moved over from the right by about 1cm, and sometimes the icons are incorrect when showing which chapters are downloading, but there are no ads, it works both online and off (if you download the audiobooks), the controls are simple and the big buttons make it easy (meaning a lot more safe) to use if I’m driving. I hope the bugs get fixed. They have seemed to linger. I also hope they make it so artwork gets saved for offline use when downloading an audiobook. Right now, it shows a generic cover when listening offline. Please don’t take my constructive criticism as a condemnation. This is a great app! I use it all the time, which is testimony to that. I’m very happy with it. I’d like to see some fixes done, but I’m also very grateful and happy with it as it is. Thank you to the developers for creating it and also for making sure to note “no ads” when issuing an update. I have had other developers put in ads without warning me and it’s really upset me. None of that here! Just honest updates. Thank you!

5/5Best Audio Book App
I've been listening to this free-audio book app for over 10 years. Still the best app out there! NOTE to DEVELOPER: Only one frustration and don't know exactly when developer changed this but it's really annoying. For some reason the developer removed the go back or forward by chapter feature or to let you start the book over. I often fall asleep while listening and need to go back one or more chapters, can no longer do it. Or when going between listening on iPhone to iPad I need to go ahead a few chapters. Really annoying. Please add features back in.

5/5Great app!
What I love most is the ability to control playback speed via a sliding scale. This is way better than any other podcast app I have tried. Also love the ease of making lists and it serves up the newest Librivox offerings, and it displays the cover art. I could go on and on raving about this app. I have the paid version, which has no ads. Be sure to tap the wave form below the open chapter to change it out for the much more useful slide bar. And, you can contact the owners from the Settings menu to report problems, which the do answer promptly.

5/5Great app
This is a great app that reads to us as we drive around town or to bring entertainment to mindless tasks like laundry, dishes, and cleaning bathrooms. Spend the $2 to save yourself from the annoying commercials or to keep your kids from accessing the web without parental controls by clicking on the ads 😬. Improvements: that there are two rating systems for books. First, for the content of the book and secondly for the quality of the reader(s). Also that it can somehow date stamp when I finish a book.

4/54.5 stars.....
Love this app! BUT.....maybe it’s my small iPhone SE, but the elapsed time is not completely displayed, nor is the chapter currently playing. But the most annoying thing is that when I go back to the app after being away (even if I didn’t close it, but just switch over momentarily to another), the book chapter I was listening to doesn’t come up onscreen, and I have to hunt for it. It’s in the “recent” section, but not at the top or bottom (in case of sorting). Other than that, love the concept, love the app (much better than trying to listen from website). THANK YOU LibriVox and LibriVox volunteers! Blessings!
