5/5Great app with some room for improvement
Everything about this app is great: it has a nice design, it is user-friendly, it has a great selection of books, and, the quality of the audio along with the speed option, makes it a great learning tool for people who is trying to learn or to practice their French. My only suggestion would be to make the searching process of an author easier. I tried typing Plato in all the different databases available, to see if there was any audiobook of this author, and the app did not give me any result. Later, however, I randomly saw that the Apologie de Socrate was available. So, I’m not sure if I’m doing something wrong or if the app could be better in that regard. Other than that keep up the good work!

5/5Wonderful way to listen to literature and learn the language
I have been listening to audio books on this app for several months and have really enjoyed it. I'm impressed by the quality of the reading which suggests considerable dedication on the part of the volunteers. My thanks to them for their efforts. Recommended.

1/5Books not Available in Text Version
There’s only audio version of the books in the app. It’s not really useful at all for French learners. The navigation in the app is also poorly designed.
