User Reviews

Users praise Audiobooks HQ+ for its vast, diverse catalog (including LibriVox and old-time radio), easy offline downloading, and strong value. However, reliability issues with downloads and availability, disappearing purchased items, mixed narrator quality, and unclear premium features are common complaints.

Pros

Huge, diverse catalog including LibriVox, classics, travel writing, old-time radio, and BBC content, with many items free or low-cost.
Easy to download and listen offline with stable playback and clear audio.
Strong value: free content and affordable access, plus a convenient 'one-stop' source without needing to borrow.
Well-organized, user-friendly interface that makes finding and downloading titles straightforward.

Cons

Frequent download failures and tracks not loading, leading to unreliable playback.
Some books show as unavailable or cannot be downloaded, even when listed in the catalog.
Purchased books can disappear from the account, raising ownership concerns and frustration.
Narrator quality is inconsistent; some readers are not to taste.
Premium features are unclear or add little visible value, and login/purchase issues can occur.

I love listening to the autobiographies, the non-fiction works, and the travel logs. I’m convinced since I hit 53, that this app is the reason I don’t need anything else to sleep! 😴

I’ve read thousands of books over the decades. When I became ill with fibromyalgia I had to switch to audio books because I had difficulties trying to read. I have a few thousand of LibriVox books but I have the most enjoyment from my LibriVox stories. Robert Howard, Manly Wade Wellman, Algernon Blackwood, Seabury Quinn, et al. Just too much fun! And Audiobooks HQ+ is my favorite reader!
