AudioBookShelf App Reviews

This should be the format by which all other audiobook apps are run! Very well implemented and the interface is striking and easy to use. The only complaint I have, and its minor, is that the play/pause button is a bit too small so sometimes I go back a chapter instead of pausing. Other than that...awesome! Makes other applications look very cheaply done.

Changed to three stars since there hasnt been an update in a very long time. Also you will never see current books only ones they can get free but for the price its not a bad app. Just downloaded this app and started listening to Pride and Prejudice - very happy with the readers voice and lively cadence. Please add more Jane Austen. Also to people asking for current books just like the books apps for reading they can only do books that are free of any licenses so you wont get them but if you love classic literature this is for you. Also Trollope,Dickens and Gaskell are good also but more Austen would be great.

2800 book from public domain but only a dozen get the presidential up grade? Why ca I get moby dick on the original audio book but get the night before Christmas for the fru fru library inter face. Work with me here people, or are you pushing me to get a kendle

I like the idea of this, but it seems like there are so few options. I bought the app and havent used it yet, because Ive already listened to the books Im interested in using a different application. Can you please add A Little Princess and The Secret Garden read by Karen Savage. Anne of Avonlea and Anne of the Island read by Karen Savage are also really good. Also, The Railway Children. Id like to see more selection in this app and I think I would use it.

We have been asking for more books since November 2009 and received NOTHING! Thanks for no new books, and all your generous attention (LOL)!!!

I would give this a five star if only you would add more books, please!!!!!!!

Love the app, the design is fabulous!

I guess I should of read the discripton before I pirchased this app. Not a lot of books available. Wow! Will be removing this one

I have only 14 books and the application downloaded upside down. Not a big deal but weird. Great graphics. Very user friendly environment. I wish it would offer new releases or best author books that I could purchase.

I love this app. I am excited to drive so I can listen to the audiobooks. I love the accents of the readers; so authentic in keeping the stories integrity. However, I so want more books. More Jane Austin...more Bronte; how about Hemingway? "Gone with the Wind", "Uncle Toms Cabin", "Little "Women", "Crime and Punishment" and so many more, Im exited to hear. Patiently waiting..........

I score this app a 3 because although the app is good it could be GREAT with just a few simple upgrades. I would rate it a 5 with one simple request--MORE BOOKS PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!! I dont understand why there are no options for more books or that there is no books availabe to purchase for this app and to make it worse as I read the other comments there has been no books added for a very long time. I love the quality of the audio books and I love the concept of the books on the shelves I just dont understand with so much quality and the thought that went into this app why you are not adding more books to make a library. It would be nice. PLEASE DO SOMETHING, Confused!!!

Great quality app, I would love it if books were added so you could read along.

More books please! This app is so cool and would be a 5 star easy if they added more books......

Great stuff! The readers are great. The app if great because it has a sleep function. Its able to go forward or backwards.

I had downloaded the audiobook "The Summons" from the itunes store and have been looking for an app to play it on that is better than the ipod app. I purchased this app for that purpose after reading the reviews and either I misunderstood what I was reading or it is misleading. I thought I could import the audiobook I purchased but when I went into the app there is only their library of books and no kind of setup or options buton. The only books available to you are the ones they list. :( So be careful before you buy.

**Autumn 2010 Warning - the automatic update puts the new audio book emblems on the bookshelf with the ugly chain and pad lock until you buy them. - Kind of black mail until you do - I dont appreciate this at all. So I have down graded it from a 5 to a 1- 2 with the average being 3. Lesson: Once you buy it - dont update it! Of course unless you want to put more money into keeping what you had looking the same. I certainly wont be showing people this ap anymore when I show them the iPod Touch. *Spring 2010 When I show people my iPod Touch - this is one of the first aps I share and just a wonderful miracle that these things are. I re-visited Jane Eyre and Guliver Travels and now Anne of GG - these are well done. And a good deal. Thank you.

wonderful books, nice looking and easy to use interface, clear and professional readers, I love this app I only wish there were more books. thanks so much for this.

You only have access to the titles you can see listed here, and all take forever to download. Overall I have been disappointed and will be looking for a different app for my audiobook needs.

I found this a great purchase so far, great design. But very limited content, Id like to see more to be added to, such as Charles Dickens. Hope to have choices of voices, such as American accents. Overall, price can be higher to compensate the features. A high quality being is always in want of high quality product of letters, regardless of prices.

I reviewed the last version and was very critical because one had to go back into the app to advance through the chapters. So its only fair to rate this again, now that the chapter advance is working properly. This is a very nice app, especially for the price. Hopefully in the future, there will be a few more books.
