LibriVox Audio Books

The app, after about half a minute of listening, closes. When I open it up again, I have to start the file from the beginning. Time and time again this happens. I can’t get the file to continue. Frustrating bug, making listening impossible. I even upgraded to the no ad version to see if that would fix it. Same thing.

Thank you for the ability to access knowledge for free!!!!!

Love a lot of the books and their readers! Thank you!

I was familiar with Librivox before, but was unaware of this app until recently. I’m really enjoying it, and especially like the feature that saves my listening choices. I use it with Car-Play on my morning and evening commutes. Keep up the good work.

The company behind this app is not affiliated with the LibriVox volunteer community. Ad revenue does not go back to supporting readers.

This app needs to add more genres of books like Hank, the cow dog and Pixar cars kind of books. Otherwise I like it pretty good.

Good

First, let me say I enjoy the library of audio books available. In the last 24 hours I have not been able to listen to any new books. In several cases I downloaded a new book and it would not play at all. In 2 cases it played the first chapter and then refused to play the second chapter. I get the same pop up every time: “Playback failed. Unable to play chapter. Are you connected to the internet?” For one thing, yes my phone is connected to the internet with good signal as I am able to easily stream YouTube videos. Secondly, the books I’m trying to listen to have been downloaded so internet connection shouldn’t be an issue at any rate. I normally listen to audiobooks every day at work and often while driving but now I can’t until they get these bugs fixed. Addendum: I am able to listen to audiobooks but only if I do NOT download them. I can only listen while streaming which uses more battery life and I can not listen in the car where I lose cell signal. I am keeping my rating at 2 stars. The library of audiobooks available bringing it up, but the functionality of the app is dreadful and only worthy of a single star.

This app has some fantastic readers contributing. Hard to believe everything is free.

Amazing app. Thanks!
