Not badI don't like the ads but it's a pretty great app. One thing I would change is give it a speed option. Sometimes they read to slow..Version: 4.1.6
NarratorsI used to use this app, moved to a subscription service, and decided to come back today. 20 seconds in and now I remember what I didn't like: narrators voices can be like nails on a chalkboard, and the description of the book does not include how long it is. I will try other books by the author I wanted to listen to, but not so happy :-/.Version: 4.1.6
Reading by earThis app may not be perfect but I love the old favorites and find myself enjoying them during unexpected opportunities to check in. Some of the readers are excellent. Others, not so much, but it's about the story..Version: 4.1.6
Great!I liked the app, but I wish there were more books by more authors. Also, the narrators' voices sound like a fork on a dinner plate..Version: 4.1.6
I enjoy listening to audio booksI haven't listened to many in this app but have enjoyed what I've heard!.Version: 4.1.6
Would be 4 outa fiveOver all not the worst, only bad thing is some of the classics are Narrated by inconsistent and or disjointed orators. Sometimes it can really take away from the story. But it’s a good way to start out..Version: 4.1.6
Great AppI love it. It has a good selection of books and the readers are excellent..Version: 4.1.6
AwesomeThis app is awesome! It really is absolutely free! They have like every classic book ever! I totally recommend it!.Version: 4.1.6
AudiobooksExcellent! I really enjoy listening to all the sections. Thank you.Version: 4.1.6
Very generousThe volunteers who do this sometimes speak badly 95 percent is very good all around 9.75 out of ten.Version: 4.1.6
AudiobookAwesome!.Version: 4.1.6
Works greatGreat app. Love listening to a mark twain novel before bed to clear my mind of worries..Version: 4.1.6
GreatWorks awesome. Some good readers too..Version: 4.1.6
Awesome!I love audiobooks..Version: 4.1.6
Not badThe interface works well enough and the downloading is virtually seamless. Not all of the audiobooks have good readers though. There is a vast range in quality; for instance one of the recordings of the jabetwocky was done by a Russian man you could barely understand who put absolutely no effort into what he was reading. On the other hand some recordings are particularly excellent, the invisible man for instance has a wonderful reader. Although, I know there are multiple versions of each book. My only complaints are a lot of the time one book is read by a multitude of people and the reviews on each book are pitifully unhelpful, but that's not even the app makers' fault. Anyway you can't really go wrong, everything is entirely free since it's all in the public domain, it's just a shame that some classics barely escaped the 1923 mark off like The Lord Of The Rings Trilogy..Version: 1.0.4
Ads playing over book on loadingOverall, I love the app, but often I have problems with an audio / video ad playing over / simultaneously with the book on tape when I first go into the app & the book I want to listen to. Can't seem to get one or the other to stop without exiting the app entirely & going back into it. For that matter, even when they aren't playing simultaneously, I can't seem to exit a video ad at all without exiting the program & going back in. Most apps with ads either offer only screen ads (no audio or visual ads) where there is an x or skip option to exit the ad or if audio / video ads are shown there is still an x (close) or skip option. This issue needs a serious fix or I will need to switch to a different app. As to other features or selection offerings, I can't add much feedback as I have only downloaded 3 classics & am early into my first (Dracula). I have narcolepsy & sleep apnea & while usually going to sleep is NOT an issue for me at all, I've had 3 months of continuous night-time insomnia, so I'm only using the app to help me sleep. It's working, but the book is so interesting, I keep dozing off, rewinding & playing again & again to catch what I dozed off in..Version: 1.0.4
Hit and miss but good overall.It is impossible to rate each presentation separately, the individual reviews never download so there is no way to know what each story will bring. Some of the narrators are excellent and present high quality recordings. Some are simply terrible and listening to them is torture. There is no quality control as some novels have recording problems. There is no way to stop, start or pause with the screen locked. As these recordings are free, the advertisements are to be expected however the ads with sound are obnoxious and intrusive. As it is not possible to use any of the controls with the screen locked, having to stop in mid reading causes the presentation to switch to an add. That's where the loud music from "Walapop" or other ads with sound intrude. With some of these problems attended to, I would not have a problem paying for these recordings..Version: 4.0.8
Love it!I really enjoy this app! I've been using it for months, but have just finally decided to leave a review. Recently the app has been having a few issues (the white screen mentioned in other reviews) and only playing one "chapter" at a time, with no option to have them continue without hitting play again. Especially difficult when the screen stays white and you can't get it to start at all... The thing is, these are just bugs that haven't always been a problem, so I encourage everyone who's had problems and possibly deleted the app to reinstall and wait for an update that fixed these issues:).Version: 1.0.3
Book reviewI have listened to a few of your recordings- one of the readers throughout most of the reading sounds like he actually is nursing a cold. I have to say that on the other hand most of the readers have refined qualities of diction and pronunciation. Also its very pleasant to hear a British voice going over some these old lines because of the tonal differences, it sounds like I stepped into Oxford for a brief moment. Some of the female readers are very clear and precise in pronunciation. Very much adhering to the written word. Wonderful experience all around. I wish that some readers would inject a little emotion into the words while it's not necessary to become effusive. Thanks again-.Version: 1.0.3
Great app! Was better before the update...now respond time is slow. Please fix this.Great book choices. You can pick up where you left off last, rewind 30 seconds with one touch of a button, or set a timer to turn off audio books after specific time intervals ( great way to fall asleep and make sure the apps doesn't keep running and eat up your battery). I wish there were newer books available (most before 1923) but I gave it five stars because it's free. Really enjoy this app. Definitely recommend anyone get it!.Version: 1.0.4
Totally Awesome.I love reading books, but listening to them just keeps my attention better. I have a hectic life and I can't always find time to read books, so I love how I can listen to these while cleaning around the house, at work, and even when I'm trying to sleep, some of the books just knock me out. I love all the classics and the timer for when I'm trying to sleep is wonderful. While I wish they had the actual book that I could read along with, I still enjoy this app more than any other free app like it. Keep up the good work:).Version: 1.0.4
Much improved experienceThis update makes listening to audiobooks a smoother experience. Everything loads much quicker, and the app no longer takes so much processing power that it crashes any other apps that you try to use, or crashes itself. It is easier to read the book description, now that it is included when viewing the basic info page. Keep up the good work. One thing I don't like is that you can no longer read the reviews that others have left, nor can you see how many reviews have been left. Also, I couldn't figure out how to leave a review. I would also like if we could see who the people are that read the book. I have readers I like, and might listen to some books, simply because I like the reader. I would have given the previous version of the app 2-3 stars, so this is a great improvement I'm experiencing. If I come across any other issues, I'll update this review..Version: 4.0.1
What Fun!!!As an avid reader, I did not think I would like listening to books. However, I just love it! I am able to multi-task my love of the classics with my time on the treadmill and household chores! And it leaves me plenty of time to read more recent works. This app makes catching up on all the classic works I've been wanting to read, easy! I thought the different narrators within each book would be a bother, but it's not; especially if there is one I don't enjoy - I know it's only for a chapter..Version: 1.0.4
Great app!This is a very enjoyable addition to my phone. If I had any complaints at all it'd be about some of the readers. I know these books are read by volunteers but maybe a little screening couldn't hurt. For instance, the reader for Moby Dick is excellent. The voice and enunciation are just right for audio books. But the reader for Sherlock Holmes, not so much. In fact I couldn't even listen to it. Which is a shame because the Sherlock Holmes stories are among my all time favorites. Other than that little inconsistency, great free app! Thank you for providing it..Version: 1.0.3
Fantastic premise, definitely worth usingAll the classics that have no copyrights or anything, and volunteers reading it which makes it completely free and just awesome. It's not perfect, the app itself freezes sometimes and won't let me hit the 30 second rewind button (although audio just continues with no problems) and its a little odd at first having to get used to new readers every chapter or two, but seeing how it's free, I really don't care. Try it, at the very least. P.S. I'm using a 4S.Version: 1.0.4
AudiobooksWell, the pace of life and trying to get to sleep at night has, in part, vaulted 'narrated' books to probably the highest use yet. Certainly, with this rise more funds has built up a new class of 'audio actors' I'd say. People like Frank Muller have taken reading to truly artistic and creative levels. Listen to Mr. Muller's Moby-Dick and be stunned at how Melville's epic of all time does attain genius levels of the human heart. Read in high school like most of us legend has Moby-Dick as long, boring, endless and inscrutable. Mr. Muller brought me to at least I'm on deck now and this book is over the top genius. The dramatic reading changed my life's view of that epic. Audiobooks can get you this with a tad less talented readers than Muller, but for free. Moby-Dick's profundity for free ? Few deals best that deal. Audiobooks is the open and publicly available route to this magic..Version: 4.0.4
Good for free, but...While I'm loving having tons of classics at my fingertips for free I've noticed two major issues. Not being able to play/pause from lock screen (although you can using earphones with a button) and more importantly is that it causes horrid battery drain. I use it while I work (moving around so I can't charge) and it drops from 100% to 20% in just a few hours. And that's from a downloaded book. By contrast I can stream podcasts for 7 hours straight and it'll only drop by 30-40%. Really wish this could be improved, otherwise I love it..Version: 4.0.8
AudiobooksEnjoy the large selection and opportunity to download so it doesn't use my streaming time. Use primarily on my commute, which is more than an hour one way. However, would like for more than three chapters to download at a time. I am often left with more than enough time to hear several more chapters but need to wait until I am able to connect to Internet again to download..Version: 4.0.8
Luv it but 1 caveatI love listening when my eyes are too tired to read for themselves. A real person reads, so you get the benefit of vocal expression, which can also be a drawback as the reader's expression can vary from what your own interpretation would be. What I DON'T like is that an ad pops up between each chapter that you have to actively go in and close so that the next chapter can begin. It didn't used to be that way, and it can be inconvenient and aggravating to do so, especially if you have it set on a timer so it can read your little one (or you) to sleep..Version: 1.0.3
As a Librivox fan, this is a Great App!Very well done, ease of use & beautiful graphics, makes experience a pleasure. Any bad reviews given for readers, well those reviewers ought march on over to Librivox & volunteer, show us how easy it is. For myself, I have listened to enough & watched many diamonds in rough sparkle, given a little time. So, God bless those who give of their time to do for others. And Thank you for this little App making it easier, or when I'm not near my computer. .Version: 1.0.1
Absolutely on of the best app's of 2012!Don't have time to read one of these classics for a class report or always wanted to enjoy one of these but haven't ha the time either.. The time is here these guys have generously provided a free way to listen to these books! It's positively amazing! 5 start all the way... This app has caught me up on dozens of books I've always wanted to read! A must have for high schoolers and college students too! Anyways enjoy the app! :).Version: 1.0.4
Better than expected! Superior!I had low expectations considering it's free, but all the great classics are here. I love audiobooks since i have a slight learning disability which keeps me from reading as much as I'd like. Now I can experience all the great literary masterpieces whenever I want. I haven't noticed any issues with any of the readers like others seem to have. I'm just grateful for this fabulous FREE app! I would've easily paid alot for this audio library. A+++.Version: 1.0.1
Enjoyable and easy to useAs a fan of classic books, I really enjoy this app. The interface is simple and intuitive. The recordings are LibriVox recordings and so the readers vary in quality but nothing I find distracting. The sleep timer app is a handy addition. The only con is that some of the video ads run concurrently with the audiobook and cannot be shut off. You then have to rewind the audiobook to hear what you missed. Overall, a great app..Version: 1.0.4
Perfect for me!I was looking for an audiobook program to help me relax and fall asleep each night, and this has been perfect. I love the timer, because I can be sure the book doesn't play all the way through after I drift off, making it easier to find my place the next night. Finally, an easy, relaxing, and enjoyable night time routine - bedtime stories are back!.Version: 1.0.4
Best app 4 skool!!!!!!!!I am assigned a lot of novels 2 read for h.w in skool and my first one was the prince and the pauper so I just downloaded this app and first of all it took pretty quick 2 load compared 2 other audio book apps and the voice is really clear!! I luv it it makes h.w. Soooo much easier 4 me... U can either just listen 2 it and do other things at once or just listen and follow along!!! It rox I advise anyone 2 get this!!!! I rate this app 5 star!!!! Enjoy!!!!.Version: 1.0.2
Too many ads + weird interfaceTo all you concerned about the quality of the audiobooks, they are public domain books read by volunteers, so they aren't always of the best quality. Some approach unlistenable, some are spectacular. I rated this app low because the earlier version of this app had a far better search interface and no unavoidable ads while you listen, which I find completely unacceptable. Otherwise, the app gets the job done..Version: 1.0.4
Wonderful... No negative experiencesReading some of the more negative reviews here, I expected this to be your typical "free" app -- reasonably ok but not great. Well I don't know how this negative review experiences happened. This app is GREAT. Wonderful selection, good readers, relatively easy user interface... this is my first time trying out audiobooks on my phone and I couldn't be happier! Thank you Audiobooks for sharing such a value-full app for free with all of us..Version: 1.0.3
Great content! But few minor consI love the content for the price of this app, but the pause/play button doesn't always register my touch and is half hidden by a pop up screen sometimes. You won't find modern or super new books, probably due to copyright issues or royalties, but all of the classics are there and it's great. Love the timer function for listening as I try to sleep..Version: 1.0.4
Great value!This app has allowed me to fill a lifelong desire to study the classics. I've "read" Thoreau, Plato, Aurelius, etc. and I have been thrilled with the quality of most of the recordings and grateful even for those that aren't as good because it is all volunteer-run. Frankly, it makes me think we shouldn't pay our politicians if volunteers can pull together this well ;).Version: 1.0.4
Very HandyWhile on a road trip through five states we found ourselves tired of talking and listening to music. I was able to download this app thru my iPhone and then donwloaded Call of the Wild - Jack London. What a treat. This will continue to be one of my favoite apps. Probably the only complaint would be the change of storytellers for each chapter. The voices take a bit of time to readjust to.. like female to male, accent, speed of reading, softness, etc..Version: 1.0.1
Great App w/ Great Features!After a busy night shift @ the hospital I like to come home and unwind with an audiobook. It helps me forget about all the crazy stuff that I've seen in the past 12 hours. I really love the timer option! That helps save battery on my phone. It also helps me keep track of the story because I will in dreamland within 10 minutes of turning it on!.Version: 1.0.1
Audio BooksI really like the convenience of having an audiobook. I can listen in the car, or while doing dishes. The narrators are all rather good, and easy to listen to. I've been listening to Pride and Prejudice, and I absolutely love it! It was completely free, and though ads pop up on the screen, it never interferes with listening to the story. It's a wonderful app! :).Version: 4.0.8
Really greatI use this app all the time. At first I wasn't sure about the selection because they are public domain books which one might think are old and boring. But thinking like that robs you of many great stories. I have recently been listening to Burroughs John Carter series and it's really engaging. I'm hooked & I love that I can listen to them anywhere. Thanks.Version: 4.0.8
Haven't listened yetWhen I go to email book to myself it freezes and I have to shut off my iPhone before it lets me into another screen. This discourages me from proceeding to listen to anything. The selection of classics is great. I'm looking forward to a road trip for long listening time..Version: 1.0.3
Love this appI listen to my phone at work all day and this app is a nice change from listening to music. My only issue are with some of the readers, they can be hard to understand but that has nothing to do with the people who created the app. It's a must download if u do a lot of driving or have a crappy job..Version: 1.0.4
Great for insomniaThe readers' voices lull me to sleep and if I do NOT sleep, at least I have something interesting to keep me from being bored. Some readers are CRAZY because you wouldn't think that they would want to read that type of book. Seriously, a few chapters of "Anne Of Green Gables" were read by someone sounding very much like Arnold Schwarzenegger!!.Version: 4.0.4
Audiobooks is a Wonderful companion!I have enjoyed listening to these books so much. I've just had shoulder surgery and not having to hold my phone has been great. Reading is great but this is fantastic. The narration is FIRST CLASS and keeps you mesmerized, immersed in the story so much you hate to stop for anything. Bet you won't stop with one!.Version: 1.0.4
Awesome app!It's a stylish, easy to use, and simply enjoyable app that you and your kids will love listening to audiobooks on..Version: 4.1.6

AwesomeGreat way to expand your literary education!.Version: 4.1.6
Amazing app!!Love it! It has an amazing collection and it's FREE! I like the timer setting too.Version: 1.0.1
Good Audio Book appGood stories. I like to follow author series, this app is set up well for this. Very easy to navigate and create your own library. I enjoy listening to a chapter as I relax with my eyes closed. Then I can visualize the events from the book. The variety of voices that narrate the chapters take a second or two to adjust, but has no impact on the writing of the story. My favourite so far is Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. I hear his voice in every story I listen to. I would recommend this app for folks who want to drift away into a good story..Version: 4.1.4
Great app!Great for those long car rides!.Version: 4.0.8

SufficientThis is a pretty good app, but don't like having different narrators for each chapter.Version: 4.0.2
Love this appI love this app. Very good selection. Some of the people telling the stories can be hard to understand. Has Sherlock Holmes stories. Most books are pre-1923. Has Shakespeare. Has children's books. Has lots of mystery books. One of the authors is Oscar Wilde. Has adventures of huckleberry Finn and adventures of Tom Sawyer. Has Moby Dick and Dracula..Version: 1.0.4

AudiobooksApp itself works really well. Loads chapters unobtrusively and doesn't hog space. But ads are really annoying.
