It's the best radio dramas of the 1930's, 1940's, 1950's and more. Because what's modern technology without a little old-school entertainment?

I’ve used this app and the no-ads one for the past few years every single day and the negative reviews just aren’t true. The app doesn’t freeze- it has unlimited bookmarks and downloads, all the LibriVox books- 15,000 of them are FREE, and it’s fantastic! I don’t know if the people writing the reviews just don’t know how to use an app or what, but it’s not the app’s fault. I wonder if they have actually communicated with support or just literally came right on here and wrote a negative review. This all means everything to me. I can’t imagine my life without it. Please don’t let the negative reviews discourage you. Try it for yourself.
Donny & Son
Velvetiest
In the familiar fashion of the Great Charle Dickens, he delivers yet another magnificent story full of compassion and tender feelings. This was my second time listening over the past two years. It shall be mentioned that Mil Nicholson is one of the top three narrators and maybe the best for her immense talent at producing multiple voices is simply uncanny (maybe her rivals are Mark Simpson from South Carolina who did The Great Expectations and the man in the Iron Mask + the gentleman who narrated “Uncle Tom’s Cabin”). She made a great sweet story that much greater. In my opinion this is not the best Charles Dickens Story, but the combination of the story and the rendition makes it a 5 star in my book.
Very Good Quality

My eyesight is so I can no longer read books in print And I can find interesting quality books on this app that are very pleasingDepending on which genre that I am in the mood for listening I can find so many different books to choose...and without the costLove that the books are free and so easy to listen, plus download if I want to keep them in my library to listen when I don't have internet access!
Good choices

This app has already supplied me with several free books that I have listened to. I went straight to the section that was for free books and jumped right in. The downloads come faster than from Audible. I have liked the readers. The only problem is that it is difficult to find some books directly through a search. It can take a while to get to the book or author you are interested in. On the other hand, you scroll by things you might not have thought to look for and discover pleasant surprises. This is good for me as otherwise I can get in a rut.
