Terrific

I really love having these classics that I can listen to while I am walking outside. Also, at night I put one on and it puts my kids to sleep while I lay close to them listening also. I had to get used to different authors reading different chapters but it's so convenient that I don't care anymore!
Good for free, but...

While I'm loving having tons of classics at my fingertips for free I've noticed two major issues. Not being able to play/pause from lock screen (although you can using earphones with a button) and more importantly is that it causes horrid battery drain. I use it while I work (moving around so I can't charge) and it drops from 100% to 20% in just a few hours. And that's from a downloaded book. By contrast I can stream podcasts for 7 hours straight and it'll only drop by 30-40%. Really wish this could be improved, otherwise I love it.
Hit and miss but good overall.

It is impossible to rate each presentation separately, the individual reviews never download so there is no way to know what each story will bring. Some of the narrators are excellent and present high quality recordings. Some are simply terrible and listening to them is torture. There is no quality control as some novels have recording problems. There is no way to stop, start or pause with the screen locked. As these recordings are free, the advertisements are to be expected however the ads with sound are obnoxious and intrusive. As it is not possible to use any of the controls with the screen locked, having to stop in mid reading causes the presentation to switch to an add. That's where the loud music from "Walapop" or other ads with sound intrude. With some of these problems attended to, I would not have a problem paying for these recordings.
Love it!!

Perfect for back to school, I listen on the bus and any break times. Some books we have to read for grades or projects are on this app! Hoping there will be more audio books soon. Please add Anne Frank The Diary of a Young Girl
Wonderful

Very functional app with classic books I'd never find time to read. The narrators I've heard so far have pleasant voices and make the stories come alive.
Enjoying the classics

Love all the different reading voices and the volunteer aspect to the service. Free, reliable, interesting...all good.
