1. Since I only get one or two books a month it's not too inconvenient to have to go to the site to buy them.App works well and I love supporting my local bookstore! Not having to give my money to Amazon makes this app worth my minor complaints: while the app can play on bluetooth devices, it's not compatible enough to be able to pause using the bluetooth device.
2. Haven't yet crossreferenced whether "audible exclusives" are availabile in Libro.Great Audiobook app! It also helps support your local independent bookstore of choice, which is my favorite part.
3. I love being able to support a local bookstore and get my audiobooks! Of course this app would be absolutely perfect if I could shop from within it, but I know that's a future enhancement and I'm not going to hold it against them.
4. Also, you can't purchase books on the app, you must go to the desktop website to get books and then you can download/listen on your phone.Great cause but *also* great app! I love this app so much.
5. 3) Little things, like no app-wide dark mode and no store access from within the app.Libro isn't as seamless as Audible, but the benefit of supporting local bookstores is a win.
6. Otherwise it is a great alternative to other audiobook apps.I use this because I like to support local businesses.
7. The only issue is obviously the inability to buy books directly in the app, but I understand that in order to keep the business going, the middleman has to be cut out, but it is something to keep in mind.Has most titles I'm interested in.
8. However, not everyone will, so Libro is missing out by not stepping up their game to truly compete with Kindle and Audible, IMO.While Libro.fm the store/service is great, the app is lacking in features.
9. However, it's not a big deal, since you can still easily navigate and purchase audiobooks through the mobile website (also has a great interface).App is clean/easy to use and reliable.
10. Knowing some of your money is going to a local bookstore and not to Bezos is the biggest reason to use LibroFM.
11. 1) There's no option to stream your books, nor can you download audiobook files to your external SD card.
