I’m keen to start listening to books. I was wondering what is the best iOS app is to get free audiobooks?

I don’t see many free ones here so thought I’d ask the question. Open to all ideas.

If you have the audio files already, BookPlayer.

Great app, and free too. Well worth a donation to support it. Donations provide minor upgrades but core app is fully functional and open source.

  Cheers I haven’t got any yet, but I have seen websites where you can download them for free so might look into that when I have more time. Unless you have some suggestions on how to get audio files?

    Whatever app you use to listen to your "free" audio books, make sure it remembers where you were at in each one. An ordinary audio file player won't won't be good enough.

Definitely Libby and BorrowBox. I use one for my state library, the other for my local council's library… Big selection of audiobooks on both.

  Ah sweet okay thanks have got both. The series I was reading from the library doesn’t seem to be there…I like Libby, what’s the best way to find SciFi audio books?
