Are you fed up of paying a fortune for monthly audiobook subscriptions? I was and decided to dig online to find the best free audiobook app.
Audiobooks are becoming more popular, with nearly everyone owning a smartphone it’s a no brainer that these addictive books are in demand. Like many who listen to audiobooks regularly I previously had an Audible subscription. If you haven’t had a subscription before I suggest you check it out.
Why become an Audible member?
If you are new to Audible you will benefit from a free months membership, After you download your first free book you can cancel your subscription so you don’t have to pay a penny. If you do not do this straight away its easy to forget and be billed for the £7.99 monthly fee.
There are a number of reasons to become an Audible member.
- You own your audiobooks – Your books are yours to keep, even if you cancel.
- Swap an audiobook for any reason – Exchange any book, any time.
- Audible Original Podcasts – Unlimited listening to documentaries, comedies and more.
- Listen online or offline – Enjoy when you’re online, underground or mid-flight.
Audible is great but like many people, I have been caught out with the rolling monthly subscription and finally decided that there must be something out there that is free…

Really interesting and useful post. I have to say, I’m not a convert to the audio book. I love the feel of a hard book and adore collecting books on my bookshelf…they are some of my most prized possessions.
I am the same, I love a book and have hundreds…..however I have a very long commute so they are great in the car 🙂
I’m not a huge audio book person, but my husband LOVES them. I will share this with him – I’m sure he’ll be more than excited to check it out!
I hope he likes the app!
That’s so cool! I have an app like that right now called Overdrive and it has saved me so much money on books. I’ll have to check this one out soon.
Yes overdrive is great as well! I found this a little easier to use 🙂
I must admit have never thought of audio books. I like the feel of a book in my hands. Also not sure if I’d enjoy listening to a story as opposed to reading it. However, will give it a thought.
I have never thought of Audio book , it’s good to know there are so many titles available .
