Great App...
By : Madjoe5  
As a good alternative for actually reading a book, this is a very nice app that will put some of the old classics at your ready and give you an opportunity to hear hundreds of these books. I was surprise of the amount of books that were available for free in this format.

The Worst Upgrade Ev...
By : Promontorium4ever  
I used to listen to books everywhere with this app: while driving, at the gym, and I loved it! Not being bound to wi-fi to listen to great classics was the best this app offered! But the upgrade (or should I refer to it as a downgrade) took the best of this app and threw it all away! What a shame!! I guess I'll be deleting it from my iPod!!

Streaming Only Rende...
By : Luda_boy  
I loved this app because I could listen to audiobooks on the bus to work and while waiting for the bus. It could do this because the files were stored locally. Was a great app, not anymore. Now that it's streaming only, it's totally useless because it requires WIFI and can't store audiobooks at all. Another great app and public domain effort bites the dirt. So sad to see it's demise after so many put so much effort into reading chapters. :(

New Version Cripples...
By : Rooples@  
This was a great application! then i made the mistake of upgrading. The best feature (download to your phone) is gone, as it streams over wifi i can now no longer sit and listen as my leisure.
