Description
Unlimited access to over 40,000 great audio books - with no ads.
LibriVox Audio Books Pro provides unlimited access to over 40,000 audiobooks - with no ads. Each audiobook can be streamed over the internet or downloaded for later use.
Audiobooks 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.
The LibriVox Audio Books app makes it easy to search for audio books and classic radio dramas. You can browse by title, author or genre, look at new recordings, or search by keyword. Because the books are free, you can listen to as much or as little of a book as you like with no cost. The app remembers your position, so when you return to a book later, you can start listening at the place where you left off. Unlimited bookmarks and a sleep timer are included for your convenience.

Ratings and Reviews
Wonderful
LibriVox has kept me entertained for many years now. The quality of most of the readers is infallible, and the rest are still very good. There’s such a range of literature to listen to and it’s perfect for car journeys, bath time or before going to sleep... to name but a few. I recommend it to my friends and I rely on it during my downtime. Keep up the good work!
Thia version is broken!
Normally a great app, but in this latest version the navigation controls have gone! You can no longer jump to previous chapter or next chapter. Nor can you slide a control to go to a certain point within that chapter. Those control buttons and slider have simply gone! The only way now to go to another chapter is to go back to the chapter list and select that other chapter.
(The 'skip' buttons are still there, but they only skip forward or back about 15 seconds. And on the lock screen you can still 'slide' forward and back within the chapter but you can't gi to next or previous chapters even on the lock screen.)
I have resorted to using an old phone which still has the previous good version of the app on it. Kicking myself for 'upgrading' to this version when it was working ok before. Looking at how to 'downgrade' to the previous version, but that's never easy. I hope the developers can fix the problem soon!
Pretty good, a few glitches, improvements possible
It’s great to have a such a range of audiobooks available. There’s a few visual glitches, and a problem going back to a chapter that has just played (it will go back to the end of the last chapter, and then restart the current chapter). It’s nice to be able to favourite readers, and an improvement would be the ability to filter searches using only favourited readers.
The LibriVox website has links to Gutenberg website to get the ebook version. Would be good if the app had an similar link. Perhaps even a follow-along reader thing which highlights the currently read text (using speech recognition on the audio file?)
