Description

Audiobooks by Classicly gives you 2,947 classic audiobooks, for free.

No ifs and buts about it- we package up 2,947 audiobooks and make them available to download and listen to anytime, anywhere. No nickel and diming, no extra fees- you get the entire collection for less than a cup of coffee.

Audiobooks unlocks a world of public domain content, allowing you to acquire the great books of human history. Letters of leaders, the collected works of geniuses, the finest Victorian novels, the plays of Shakespeare, the philosophy of Seneca and Marcus Aurelius, the autobiographies of Benjamin Franklin and Teddy Roosevelt. It's all here, along with thousands of other audiobooks. And all, might we belabor the point, absolutely free.

While you won't find recent audiobooks like Twilight or Harry Potter, you will find a mindboggling amount of classic titles from throughout the ages.

These audiobooks, as read by the talented volunteers over at Librivox, have never been easier to get- just tap 'Listen' and we'll download the first chapter in seconds. Once downloaded, we'll always download enough chapters ahead that you're never without something to listen to. And, because we download the audiobook as you go, we'll never hog space like other audiobook apps.

Going on a road trip or airplane? Hit 'Download All' and we'll download every chapter in the audiobook. Need more space? We make deleting an audiobook as easy as a tap. Want to listen in the background? No worries! We have you covered.

2,947 of the greatest books in human history, available with the tap of your finger. Free.

* Audiobooks requires internet access to download audiobooks, but after you download them you can listen anywhere, even when you're not online.

Customer Reviews

ABSOLUTELY WORTHLESS (1 star)
I paid money for this? More fool me. Video commercials and other annoying ads. I know the books are read by volunteers and not all can be quality but the bad ones are horrific. Still, I could have lived with that were it not for the video commercials. A couple dollars wasted. Don't make the same mistake unless you happen to enjoy commercials.

Great app! Was better before the update…now respond time is slow. Please fix this. (5 stars)
Great book choices. You can pick up where you left off last, rewind 30 seconds with one touch of a button, or set a timer to turn off audio books after specific time intervals ( great way to fall asleep and make sure the apps doesn't keep running and eat up your battery). I wish there were newer books available (most before 1923) but I gave it five stars because it's free. Really enjoy this app. Definitely recommend anyone get it!

Awesome (5 stars)
Only suggestion would be to pick one great narrator per book, rather than several who record at different qualities and volumes.
