Streaming only renders this app useless for me. 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. :(

The worst upgrade ever 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!!

Don't bother, it's not the same.... This was one of the first applications I installed on my Ipod Touch and prior to this “upgrade”; was my absolute favorite. The ability to search and download from such a vast library of work while connected at home so I could listen offline at work or “on the road”; was fantastic and completely justified my purchase of the touch. I am utterly disappointed with this update which has made the application useless to me and probably for EVERY touch and (some) iphone users. I am now uninstalling it and will get my audiobooks through other means, but not however via the itunes app store. I refuse to be manipulated in such a blatant way by a company who would force a developer to implement a mechanism clearly meant to drive away users and force those users to get their material from their (apples) App store even when that material is free.

Disappointing update... The update did say the application had changed to "streaming" rather than downloading content, but I tried it anyway. What a mistake!! Besides needing to be tethered to the Internet (which I cannot do with an iPod touch), the update also added a very intrusive advertisement (which is difficult to avoid hitting by accident). I understand advertisers are the reason why many apps are free, but it could have been done more tastefully. It's a good thing I had synced with my comp not too long ago, so iTunes still had the old version, which I will continue using until a real "update" is introduced. Honestly, the one best thing about this app was being able to listen while offline...bring that back or you won't have many users in the future.

I liked this application before this update. I wish that I had reviewed this application before the update. I would have given it 4 stars. I was able to download the books onto my iPod Touch and listen to them wherever I was. Now, I am shackled to a WiFi network. I can get that through my desktop computer. Please put the Download option back onto the application. I will never be able to get through a WHOLE book by streaming it. PLEASE.

HORRIBLE UPGRADE!!!!! I loved this application due to its wide range of free books to listen to and ability to listen to them anywhere due to the way that the application downloaded the whole book to the iphone. The newest upgrade now relies on streaming capabilities and will cut off in the middle of a chapter because it looses the connection. This is horrible for me due to the fact that I listen to these books the most at work where I have very spotty service. PLEASE CHANGE IT BACK!

An Upgrade, That Isn't! I was thrilled when this app came out as I have an iPod Touch and being able to download the audio books to my iPod was fantastic. Having to be near WiFi to listen to a book is ludicrous! Who made that a mandatory change, and why? Such a requirement renders this app of no use to me. What a huge shame...

Rendered worthless... Live streaming of the content has now crushed the utility of this app. Did anyone ever think about iPod users who travel? Go back to the original functionality and let some of these classic works "see the light of day"

audiobooks The description says, "listen in traffic"--well--I don't know about the creators--but--I don't have internet in my car. I miss the way this app used to be. I would listen while I was out of internet range. That was the whole point. It really is of no use to me now that we have to be on-line to use it.

Major Downgrade This was my favorite app until I 'upgraded' to the newest version. I used to listen to audio books in my car, but now I can't. Upgrading was a mistake. Do not upgrade or download unless you want to be frustrated with confinement. This app defies the portability of an iPod and confines one to a hotspot.

Update ruined the app This app WAS awesome, now it is useless. Having to be within a wifi network to use this app means I cant use it in my car, and has made this app completly worthless to me. The playback is choppy during streaming, and even the sound quality is worse than when you downloaded the book and played back offline.
I guess I'm deleting this app.

Amazing!!!!! Wow for FREE?!?!?!?! This a terrific app, it's super easy to use and you can search by title or author. The surprise me tab is great also, it has introduced me to titles I would never have found. The only thing I can think if that I would like to see is the ability to move the books around in my library instead of them being in the order I downloaded them. Everything else is perfect, keep up the great work! A+A+A+
