FEATURED ON CNET—this is *the* app for busy people who have a graveyard of eBooks (you know who you are, you well-meaning intellectual, you.) ROAD TRIP? TRAIN RIDE? JUST TRYING TO TUNE OUT THE PERSON SITTING NEXT TO YOU ON THE PLANE? ;) With over 600,000 premium audiobooks, and 120,000 free, you can get your wisdom on—and politely protect your headspace. IT’S LIKE MUSIC...ERRR, NARRATION TO YOUR EARS. From the latest bestsellers, to timeless classics, to up and coming indie authors, Audiobooks HQ is the app for a massive selection of studio-recorded quality audiobooks, at your fingertips. Or should we say earbuds? ON DEMAND, NO SUBSCRIPTION REQUIRED Just open, search, click and listen. There are no credits and no recurring monthly fees. Audiobooks HQ lets you download and listen on demand, wherever you are, whenever you're ready. Even find the top rated books with the click of a button, or switch the language and get your Spanish on! FANCY FEATURES YOU’LL WANT TO BRAG ABOUT TO YOUR FRIENDS Audiobooks HQ even does neat tricks like adjusts the speed, slows down or speeds up playback in 40 increments (without affecting pitch!), and even sets a sleep timer when it's time for bed. BONUS: ACCESS 109,000 EPISODES OF OLD TIME RADIO, TOO! It's the best radio dramas of the 1930's, 1940's, 1950's and more. Because what's modern technology without a little old-school entertainment? GREAT FOR AROUND THE HOUSE, TOO! Washing the car. Check. Washing the dog. Probably that, too. Whether you're logging some miles on the ol' treadmill, or logging 'em driving cross country, we're the companion you didn't know you needed. (Sorry, dog.)

I thought about titling this ALL YE LIBRIVOX LISTENERS REJOICE! But this app has more than just librivox. Sweetness. It is also a very stable audiobook player which has some really important features. First it downloads the ENTIRE book not single chapters. That may not seem too important but just try listening to long books like War and Peace or The three Musketeers downloaded one chapter at a time. It'll drive you nuts. It also doesn't crash when you you turn your device off or open other apps with the book playing in the background. I can't tell you how many times other apps have done that to me. This doesn't lose it's place. That will save a ton of headaches. It has the full librivox catalog and podiobooks! Topping on the cake is the sleep timer which if you fall asleep to audiobooks like I do is really nice. I didn't think I was going to get this app because I got the free version to crash but that only seems to be for the free version.

Beautiful update ! The sleek new presentation feels like a completely new app. Visually appealing and easy to navigate. Kudos to the developers. Still keeping my previous review comments: "Why pay to listen to books when thousands of FREE classics are available in one app? I enjoy using this app every day. Wide selection and mostly good readers. So many ways to make a selection - by topic, author, date of release, genre, or reader. A must-have for everyone who likes a "good read"."Recently (July 2017) I had my first difficult with the app. True to the excellence of the app, I received a quick response to my questions and prompt follow up thereafter. With so many other apps no response is ever received. Audiobooks customer support is quick and reliable. My thanks to tech support staff !

I got this to keep me occupied while I was driving or otherwise busy with projects and other things that require a lot of time and solitude. I never expected to come across such a rich collection of incredibly diverse genres and collections of books I have loved over my lifetime.It has books that I couldn't find on some premium subscription apps or libraries.Apps are easy to download and very stable. I have yet to find a book had doesn't come through crystal clear.If you love listening to classic books that you may or may not find anywhere else, this is perfect.

Reading has always been one of my greatest pleasures, but I have limited free time to sit down with a book. I like history and recently I’ve been reading more classics. I’ve been able to download many free audiobooks here of good to excellent quality. If there are several versions of a book I recommend you listen to a preview of each version before choosing one to download. Some readers are more talented than others or one reader might be more to your taste than another. I appreciate the free books and recommend this app if you enjoy audiobooks.
