About this app

LibriVox Audio Books offers unlimited access to 40,000 free audio books. Each book can be streamed over the internet or downloaded for later use without any charge. The LibriVox Audio Books app includes listings for new recordings, featuring classic best sellers and out of print treasures.

The LibriVox audio book app makes it easy to find the book you want. You can see the most popular books, browse by title, author or genre, look at new recordings, or search by keyword. You can even find books read by a favorite narrator. This app allows you to stop playback with a sleep timer, and unlimited bookmarks are available for each book. You can save and listen to as many books as you like. Access to the LibriVox collection, thousands of old time radio dramas, and many other collections is entirely free.

With full support for bluetooth controls as well as Android Auto and Google Cast, LibriVox Audio Books makes it easy to take your books with you wherever you go. Lists of favorites, recent books, and downloaded books make it easy to pick back up just where you left off.

Audio books from LibriVox are free thanks to the dedicated work of hundreds of volunteers who record, edit and distribute the books. New releases are prepared daily, and the entire catalog spans the breadth of world literature, including novels, history, biography, short stories, poetry and more in both fiction and non-fiction.

Ratings and reviews

I would normally rate four stars. I would rate it a five stars if it wasnt for all the advertisements and adds. Recently, the last update made the app frusterating to use. I cant remove downloads now when I finish a book which keeps my phone full. also I cant save any books now. as soon as I close the app and come back they are all gone and I have to find them all over again. Fix this and the app will go back to 4 stars. The updates should be tested for these bugs before putting them out.

Quality readings of classic novels, dissertations, essays, etc., though there is a notable lack of contemporary titles. Advertisements on Librivox run seemingly unchecked -- as in, screen-enveloping Temu ads with teensy exit buttons and unskippable, force-replaying "game" ads that disservice the app a great deal. Otherwise, an exceptional, free app with dedicated volunteers!

This is a nice interface in some ways, and the adverts are not intrusive. However, the ability to navigate forward or backward within any text is severely limited and sometimes maddening. The time elapsedb on the time bar is often wildly out of sinc with the actual recording. The app sometimes jumps chapters for reasons I still haven't figured out. After a few weeks, I'm looking for a better alternative.
