Metadata emphasizes keywords like audiobooks, library, and ebooks in competitors; this app’s metadata does not foreground those terms as strongly.
Content focus on classic/public-domain titles may feel less targeted for users seeking newer titles or diverse genres.
Perceived emphasis on free, public-domain content could limit appeal for users expecting modern or commercial audiobook licenses.

Comments on LibriVox Audio Books for Android

★★★★★ Joyce · May 10, 2026

I love this app! Sooo many titles and a big thank you to all the volunteers reading♡

★★★★★ R I · May 30, 2026

I love listening to these older books, especially before bedtime. I use this app every single day. I'm a big Ray Bradbury fan, and I get to listen to all his classics on here. I love listening to the Tarzan audiobooks. I also love listening to the children's books. Thanks so much for offering this app. It's just marvelous.

★★★★★ Loretta Pelissero · Jun 8, 2026

Thank you LibriVox and all the volunteer readers !

★★☆☆☆ Brian Tepesch · Jun 21, 2026

Stops audio but keeps playing book often.

★★☆☆☆ Chuck · May 13, 2026

I paid to remove ads and use this app every night, however now each chapter seems to have a time clock far beyond the actual time it takes to read the chapter?! So the chapter takes 20 minutes, but then there is another 2 hours of silence before it moves on to the next chapter. You have to select the next chapter or skip to the end of the 2 hours to proceed. This is very annoying considering I use the app for sleeping, and it just goes silent, and I wake up.IDK how to fix this or what caused it

★☆☆☆☆ Scott Tugel · May 15, 2026

This app company called "Book design" is posing as the REAL LibriVox & using volunteers work to charge for ads against LibriVox's rules and does not give anything to the actual volunteers. Pure GREED. "THE REAL LibriVox Objective: To make all books in the public domain available, narrated by real people, and distributed for FREE. The Fundamental Principles are that LibriVox is a non-commercial, non-profit, and ad-free project. LibriVox donates its recordings to the public domain."

★☆☆☆☆ Adam Franz · May 7, 2026

I love LibriVox, and I definitely appreciate all the fine work from them all, and their volunteers. But the app is garbage. It constantly crashes for no reason, and when it does, it take a very long time to get back to the point where you left off. But hey, at least the search function is just a little better than the website. I know, you get what you pay for, and maybe it's wrong to criticize such a wonderful program. But maybe if I mention these problems they might get fixed someday? Maybe?

★☆☆☆☆ Stephen · May 24, 2026

High battery drain. It was great before, but in the last few weeks, the app has increased battery drain a lot... and this shouldn't be for an audio app. I wonder if something nefarious is happening behind the scenes with this app
