LibriVox Audio Books Pro Hodnocení aplikace

Imagine in this day and age a library with out a readable index. A tap on readable index. Imagine being told to use a library you have to look at every cover Horrible

Great app.

I wish there was a way to view the books on the app prior to purchasing it. I pay 2.99 for the app to find out that the books of the author that I wanna read are listed I wasted my money.

I just paid for the PRO version and am shocked that none of my books begin at the very beginning. I have to manually go back. This will become very tedious and annoying. Please FIX. Thanks!

I just wish it were easier to back up.

An absolutely staggering amount of books read to you by people who like them. The app generally works fine and a quick reset fixes it when it doesn’t. If you’ve found this in the App Store you ought to give it a try, I bet you’ll find something you like!

This app is amazing! Not all readers are equally good but no matter. I can listed anywhere. Love it and my kids love it.

Thank you!

During October 2024, when this App stopped playing newly downloaded files, problem was due to archive.org, which is the hosting service for LibriVox files and which had been hacked and thus had suspended downloads. Once archive.org was functioning normally, this app worked perfectly.

Big bug! Won’t let me listen offline!! In fact some won’t play at all! Fixed it cutting off anymore. ——// Since last update ( I’ve gotta learn not to sucker into the updates!!) it cuts off after a couple of minutes. Can’t use until you fix it! Downloaded the free version and it’s quitting too!

I’m so grateful for this app as a once homeschooling Mom; it’s such a lifesaver/ timesaver. And now I am super excited for the low-cost ads free option.

What I love most is the ability to control playback speed via a sliding scale. This is way better than any other podcast app I have tried. Also love the ease of making lists and it serves up the newest Librivox offerings, and it displays the cover art. I could go on and on raving about this app. I have the paid version, which has no ads. Be sure to tap the wave form below the open chapter to change it out for the much more useful slide bar. And, you can contact the owners from the Settings menu to report problems, which the do answer promptly.

Lov to listen to books on LibriVox. Nothing recent? Not much recent worth listening to. Maybe that’s harsh, but my book LISTENING certainly skews older because of this great App.

It’s amazing to have a free source of many audiobooks in many languages! What a gift!

I've been listening to this free-audio book app for over 10 years. Still the best app out there! NOTE to DEVELOPER: Only one frustration and don't know exactly when developer changed this but it's really annoying. For some reason the developer removed the go back or forward by chapter feature or to let you start the book over. I often fall asleep while listening and need to go back one or more chapters, can no longer do it. Or when going between listening on iPhone to iPad I need to go ahead a few chapters. Really annoying. Please add features back in.

I had a technical problem with the app and they fixed it and they wrote me back, an actual human email note thanking me for letting them know and explaining what went wrong. I’m grateful. Plus, this app seems to be the most convenient way to listen to LibriVox, and I’ve tried several. I listen everyday and have for years. To be clear the app is not affiliated with the LibriVox organization.

As others have mentioned, the recent update removed the rapid access scroll feature, which I often used. Also removed were the quick chapter fwd/rev controls. The font was decreased too. The app is not as useful as before.

I really like LibriVox and it’s volunteer readers. I’ve listened to books as I go to sleep for years. However, an update seems to have eliminated the chapter scroll bar. If I fall asleep during a chapter, I now have to start at the beginning and fast jump in 30 second increments to find my place again. I used to be able to move the slider to any point in the chapter.

I recently updated the ap and they removed the navigation bar that allows you to quickly change to different part of story. Interestingly, it still appears in the photos of the app in the ap store. Also buttons are much, much smaller making them harder to use. There is so much screen space that thus was completely unnecessary. I highly regret updating the ap. Wish there was a way I could revert back to original.

Learn for a lifetime and be a better person. It will look good on you! First step - all books by William Walker Atkinson….and go!

I came across this site while looking for a free audible book. It’s a wonderful source of classics and interesting reads. Most of the narrators are very good and easy to listen to.

The hours I have spent listening to these wonderful productions have greatly enhanced my quality of life.

Users care.

I have listened to many novels from LibriVox. If you pay attention to the settings as well as the story you will get a history lesson in architecture, household furnishings and the general tenor of life of humanity over the centuries.

July 19, 2022: They just sent me an email to let know they’ve fixed the bug. Back working!! 💪 Old note: Used to love this app. I have the Pro version. For the past week it’s quite impossible to use. It keeps on dropping. This is not due to a bad wi-fi connection, since I am using it with downloaded books. Update: I realized that the audiobook stops bc the app makes my phone heat up. I tried the free version and same thing happens, my phone gets hot and stops the audiobook. Finally, I had to look the audiobook on YouTube to finish listening to it.

When you click out of a book to go back to the list of other books, it does not let you see the titles and they all get shoved off the screen to the right and you have to close the app and come back or it will not let you fix it. This happens every single time. Also, even if I download the books it does not let me listen to them when I am off-line. Very disappointing.

Every time I open an app says error. I lose my money with this

I have had this app at least 10 years. I love it. But it just went whacko. All the book list titles are shoved to the right side of the screen & really all I can see is pictures of the covers. All my personal lists are gone. The search thing doesn’t work. Please, please fix it.

Until a few weeks ago, this worked just as expected but lately, there are multiple problems with the user interface: sudden stopping a minute or two into a new book, and display of book contents by chapter, at least. I hope these get fixed soon

I’ve used the app for years and it’s been great but now it stops playing every few minutes and doesn’t keep its place. Many people have reported the issue with no response or solution. I bought the paid version to see if it work better but it’s the same and I’ve thrown away the money. Very disappointed.

In both the Pro and original versions of this app, recordings have been repeatedly cutting off, often mid-sentence. To make matters worse, the app then loses your place, so when you go to resume listening, you have to fast forward over parts you’ve already heard. This began happening the moment they began charging for ad free service. So I’m now paying for a worse product.

The point of an audiobook app is that I don’t need it to be open on my screen all the time in order for it to work. Not even worth $3, absolute garbage

I’ve used and liked the app for years, but something in the code has gone awry, and now it’s so crazy that it’s not useable, at least by me. Often I can’t listen for more than a minute on my iPhone XR before it crashes. Hope they can get it fixed! It’s the best out there for listening to Librivox.

I love this app and enjoy the books, but there is a problem as of late it keeps crashing on my iOS device. Would be great if this could be fixed with an update. That being said I have listened to over a hundred books on this app and would give it 5 stars if it didn’t crash so much on my iOS devices.

I listened to a recording on a 6 hr road trip and the app kicked me off at least half a dozen times. Painful, and dysfunctional. I’m going to endure through it because the books are so valuable to me not because I appreciate the app in any sense. 🤬🙉🙈🤦🏻‍♂️

Have used free version for years. Just started quitting randomly. Upgraded to paid version, but same thing happening — random quit a minute or two in... frustrating. Has been a fave, but gotta give low rating now due to this nagging glitch.

I love this app and LibriVox in general, but in the past few days, the app has been closing out on me every few minutes. I’ve tried deleting and reinstalling, but it’s still glitching just the same. It could be my phone, but no other app is giving me trouble, so I’m inclined to believe it’s the app itself. Still no better app I have found for free listening, so I’m sticking with it.

I got less than two minutes into my first book and it cut off. Tried again and it did the same thing. Please refund my money.

I’ve used other apps to access LibriVox content, but this one is my favorite. It’s not flashy, but it’s functional, intuitive, and easy on my battery. An old friend and a constant companion - indispensable to the student of history and philosophy, or the lover of classical literature. Uh-oh… fubarred by the latest update. Fix it soon, please! I use this app daily!

It does not stay on. The screen turns dark and then the audio stops. The free version does not do this. In fact I can browse away and it still plays in the background

No longer syncs across my iOS devices. Please fix.

for learning history, reading/encountering all of the classics we should have read in our youth, for musement, and amusement, we are now without excuse for being intellectually shallow, or ignorant . May God bless the volunteers, the readers, the genius that put such a good thing within reach of all. A word of caution though: “choose wisely, for the mind is a terrible thing.” 😎☕️

What else can I say?

During COVID, reading and listening to audiobooks have become much more important to me. Between digital membership in my county library and Librivox I am getting into literature that keeps me (as a retiree) mentally active. Librivox is especially good at allowing me to dig into the literature of the past. Generally the readers are very professional and make it easy to listen. In some cases there are multiple versions with different readers. If you like one reader especially, you can search for other books that he/she read. Thank you Librivox DIO Roswell Georgia

This is such a great resource! We use it ad-free - totally worth it.

LibriVox is a precious app, one of my very favorites. It is a gem. Getting caught up on and appreciating all the books I never read when I was younger. I have the ad free version, which I love.

My kids love this they don’t have too read there history I and I don’t either but I would love if they added "a child’s history of the world" but it’s still amazing I really do recommend this!

I just purchased the app, but none of the audiobooks are loading. Please help!

This rich and enjoyable novel is my top favorite. The narrator is absolutely superb. Enjoy!!
