Reviews for Libro.fm Audiobooks

I love libro.fm's service!! Same prices as Audible, and I've found every title I looked up. I also love the amazing sales they run--audiobooks for 4.99 is such a screaming deal! I had to contact support over a small issue, and I got a reply that day that resolved it. I love being able to freely gift titles and credit bundles; I used to try and do that with Audible and it was like jumping through circus hoops the whole time.

I love being able to support my local indie bookstore with this app rather than using alternative services for audiobooks. It's great that my credits don't expire. I've temporarily canceled my membership in the past and it wasn't an extremely annoying process. I dont encounter many glitches or issues when using the app and that's always appreciated.

The download functionality is so finicky. Since Libro.fm doesn't allow streaming through its app, it makes the app not functional. My phone is old but I know it's a Libro.fm problem bc Everand's downloading functionality works just fine. I have it enabled to download over cellular but the app refuses to. If the wifi isn't 5 bars strong, its almost impossible to initiate a download. I'm constantly stopping / starting downloads, restarting the app to get it to work.

Actual customer service? The app is by no means perfect, but I love that I'm supporting my local bookstore and not a greedy billionaire using AI instead of paying voice actors and hasn't had proper customer service in years. This app doesn't display series properly, so I emailed them about it. I got a prompt response that they are working to establish a solution AND they said they'll get back to me. Unheard of, I know. Definitely ditch the other app.

absolutely phenomenal. I can listen to my audio books. the app is clean and I get to support my local bookstore. its better than audible imo because I can actually have a copy of my audiobook. it sucks I have to go to the website to download the audio copy but it pretty much does the same thing audible does but supports local business and authors better!

Been using for months now and very happy. It can do everything audible could (plus credits don't expire and their books are DRM free) while supporting local bookstores instead of Amazon and they do lovely "challenges" every so often (one was donating to American Library Association and earning a free credit for it). The book recommendations come from real people and the whole thing is just clearly run by people who love books even more than money and it feels good to use. No regrets.

This app and company is fantastic! they allow you to purchase a large library of audiobooks and you are able to download the files and actually own the books you buy. The app interface is very easy but to purchase books without credits requires you to go to the website which can be inconvenient. They also have a lot of book sales each month that allow you to purchase select books at a steal. The last and best part is that your purchases support local and/or indie bookshops of your choice!

I think the app is fine. I do wish there was an explorer based on my previous purchases, which you know is probably like one of those things people don't want for privacy reasons but at the same time I know they're keeping my purchase history because I think they have to so... it would be nice. I also wish they had more categories and I could like sort by or filter by.

Absolutely love libro.fm! I get to support my local indie bookstore, keep my books after I purchase them, and I dont have to pay for a subscription to purchase new titles. Customer support is extremely helpful if I ever need them, and I talk to real people! The app is easy to use and I love getting to shop the sales too.

I love this app! it's just what I was looking for and helps support my favorite local bookstore. for the first time I had a minor issue with a download, I contacted support and got a very quick response, excellent customer service and a quick fix to my problem. shout out to Danny in Support. Also I didn't have to go through an AI bot!!
