If you’re an audiobook fan, you know they can be expensive to buy or to subscribe to with a service like Audible. The free LibriVox app for your Android or iPhone allows you to listen to tons of free audiobooks as well as purchase them.
I’ll show you how to download the app for an Android phone, though the process for an iPhone is similar. You just go to the Apple App store instead of Google Play.
For an Android phone, search for LibriVox in the Play Store. Then tap on Install.
Once the app installs, tap Open.
Here’s the landing page.
Keep an eye out for this tricky ad for the Audible App. You don’t want to accidentally download it.
Tap on Collections to browse suggestions of books to listen to.
Tap the search box at the top to search by genre, title, or author.
When you find a book you like, tap to open. You can read a synopsis and check out the reviews.
You can scroll down and start streaming the chapters.
This is an ad-supported ad, so keep an eye out for the little banner ads so you don’t get accidentally redirected away from your book. Click the 3-dot menu at the top for options.Â
You’ll find options like the ability to adjust the playback speed or download the book for offline listening. Tap on Add to new list to create your lists of favorites.
Tap on Preferences and you’ll see an option to buy an ad-free version of the app for just $2.99.
