Staggering (5 stars)
I rarely write reviews, but after reading the whining comments about a few thousand audio books that can be had for a buck, I had to step up. Yes, it's unpolished, awkward and a bit inconvenient to use, but how much does high-end sophistication matter for something that's so incredibly valuable?

And then there's the "worthless app" complaints because LibriVox relies on unprofessional readers… HELLO! They're volunteers f

Gutenberg (1 star)
This app has a fatal flaw which renders it useless on an iPod Touch or a WiFi- only iPad. The audio is streamed. You cannot download an entire book and listen to it off-line. Outside WiFi range you are out of business.

No controls (2 stars)
Not a good app. No real controls. Can listen to Gutenberg Librivox audio recordings but can't move around, fast forward, repeat, … Nothing. Just start it and go straight through. Any glitch and you start all over again. Also, no downloading for offline listening.
