AUDIOBOOK PLAYER
A full-featured audiobook player for commutes, workouts, and long drives. Adjustable playback speed 0.5x to 3x, 30-second skip forward, 15-second skip back, and auto-saved progress. Background audio continues while you text or use other apps. Control from the notification shade or lock screen. Car mode, Bluetooth headphones, and wired headset buttons all supported.

SEARCH FREE AUDIOBOOKS
Search 20,000+ audiobooks by title, author, or narrator with instant autocomplete. Filter by genre, language, and duration — short stories under 3 hours, full length audio books over 10 hours, or anything in between.

SLEEP TIMER & BEDTIME STORIES
Set a sleep timer for 5, 15, 30, 45, or 60 minutes, or pick "end of chapter" to stop at a natural break. Volume gradually fades in the final 30 seconds so silence doesn't jolt you awake. Free bedtime stories, relaxing poetry, and classic novels help you wind down — a great audiobook app for falling asleep.

OFFLINE AUDIOBOOK DOWNLOADS
Download any chapter for offline audiobook listening on flights, subway rides, or anywhere without signal. Downloads work without data; progress syncs back when you reconnect.

MULTIPLE LANGUAGES
Audiobooks in English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, Chinese, Japanese, and more. Filter by language to find free audiobooks you can actually understand.

PLAYLISTS, BOOKMARKS & LIBRARY
Build custom playlists from chapters across different audiobooks. Bookmark favorite passages with personal notes. Save books to your library, track what you're listening to, and keep a wishlist of titles to hear next.

LISTENING STATS & READING CHALLENGES
