Needs update

The app is good but recently it doesn’t play in the background on the latest operating system.
Best to listen elsewhere

The leeches that created this site have taken advantage of the original authors and those who volunteered and sacrificed their time to narrate no copyrighted classic works. The books are littered with way to many commercials. In order to remove the ads you must pay a ransom to the filthy little critters who run this app.
A blessing!

Absolutely a blessing for me I have bad vision that causes migraines and I can listen to so many books without tempting pain.
Wonderful resource

Great readers especially since they’re all volunteers. Many sound extremely professional. Once in a while you will get a reader that’s not that good but for the most part I really enjoy listening. I’ve been using this app since it’s conception. I was really impressed with the selection of books, almost all the classics. Plus I found myself listening to authors/books that I didn’t even know existed. I suggest when you get a reader that you enjoy their voice and do a search for the reader’s name and you’re probably get some great suggestions for your next book. I love Elizabeth Klett and Karen Savage. They tend to read the classics. If you’re wanting something sweet with a happy ending I suggest “ The emancipation of aunt Crete”. If you need a few laughs you might want to start with “ My man Jeeves”. You can search for a book via the author, the genre or the reader. And you can save favorites and even download them. It’s only like $2.50 for no advertisement.I always get that because it helps cover the cost so they can make these free audiobooks. However that being said a few books I listened to had commercials in between the chapters. That is really frustrating!!! I don’t want to make a big deal about it because I haven’t ran across it that much. But I would like to know why that happens???
Great App horrible advertising

The app is pretty good. There are issues with playback occasionally. Sometimes it just won’t resume. That’s not my biggest issue. My biggest issue is that they have chosen highly political and controversial advertising. For example, while my children and I were listening to book about a saint, it was interrupted to explain how the abortion giants Planned Parenthood are expanding their ability to murder the unborn. They are alienating a huge portion of their users in that regard. It’s unfortunate. I will resume using and promoting the app when they stop promoting the murder of the unborn.
Great Books

I have been able to listen to many more classics than I would have had time to read.
