Best torrent downloader for mobile without frustrating ads. Thank you, Libra!
★★★★★Michael Ireland· Mar 10, 2026
Wow! Initial experience is awesome 👍. Spotless interface, lots of system settings available, but it works out of the box, including magnet links. The UI is incredibly intuitive, so even the average user should be fine with it. Remember: plenty of VPNs restrict BitTorrent traffic, so if you're just trying it out be sure to test it with your VPN off at first, then turn it on to verify. I'm very impressed.
★★★★★Juraj Lieskovsky· Jan 24, 2026
The app is great (UI, sequential download, no ads, ...). The only issue I am having is that I can't seem to download anywhere outside the Downloads folder (There is no permission that was denied)
★★★★★Łukasz Klimkiewicz· Jul 23, 2026
LibreTorrent is fast, lightweight, and incredibly reliable. The interface is clean, downloads run smoothly, and the app gives full control over every detail. No ads, no nonsense — just a powerful open‑source torrent client that works perfectly. A well‑deserved 5 stars.
★★★★★Douglas Silva· Apr 20, 2026
It's great, overall. I have been using it daily for the past year. My only complaint is about the startup process, which is very slow when you have dozens of torrents, as it loads every torrent sequentially (one by one). Interacting with any of them before it's fully loaded results in errors and unexpected behaviors.

Does not start downloading (Flud works fine with same torrent)
★☆☆☆☆Artur Mintian· Aug 5, 2026
The speed of downloading is eternally slow, as if intentionally blocked. I compared it to torrent, and the latter is "lighting speed" vs "1 bit/hour."
★☆☆☆☆Imre Makó· Jul 3, 2026
Update2: half year later trackers still not working Update to 1 star:.torrent not addig trackers from the file. It's useless this way. I'm going back to an older version. It shows that it's seeding, but the tracker not showing it. Sometimes works not. I turned off energy saving. It's on charger, and the app is in foreground. I tried to re-announce button too. But it's the best client right now.
★☆☆☆☆Артём Горбацевич· Jun 16, 2026
App doesn't have actual manifest file with correct permission checks. Therefore, I was not able to use this app to download anything since it has no permission to write. Moreover, I have no option to grant such permission
★☆☆☆☆Messy Lyra· May 20, 2026
Broken interface on the latest version, the add torrent, torrents, rss and settings options which are usually on the bottom of the UI are now on the side where the side/hamburger menu with no way to alter or change it.
