Tap on the folder you’d like to access, and you’ll find your books!

Books you’ve just purchased will show up in your “To Listen” and “All” folder. Once you’ve signed into your Libro.fm account, it will automatically take you to your library, which Libro.fm sorts into folders, as seen below (I’m a new subscriber, hence the very empty folders). Libro.fm’s setup is pretty similar to Audible’s, but let’s walk through it real quick.

You can also easily adjust the volume by tapping the speaker symbol, which will bring up a sliding volume bar. Tapping on the car symbol at the top of the player will give you a larger, simple player so it’s a bit safer to pause or rewind your book whilst you’re driving. Tracks are labeled by chapter numbers (no actual “Riddles in the Dark” chapter titles, sadly), with the time length for each, which comes in handy if you’re nearing the end of a chapter and want to know if you have time for the next one.Īudible also has a few extra features to make audiobooks easier to listen to on your phone. Going back and forth between chapters is incredibly easy: just tap the “chapters” button on the bottom on the player, and a track/chapter listing will pop up. Easy peasy, right? Now let’s get those audiobooks on your iPhone! Both require you to sign in and pick your books out on a web browser before you can download the books to your phone, so make sure you do that first! Next, search for the apps in the iTunes store, download, and sign in with your account information, just like any other app. We’re going to break down how to listen to audiobooks on iPhone for each major app.Īre you trying out Audible? Were you gifted a subscription to Libro.fm? These are the two big audiobook monthly subscription services available at the moment, and a great place to start cultivating your collection. And thanks to modern tech, all you need is your iPhone! There are loads of apps and services that will allow you to download audiobooks directly onto your IOS devices ( check out our guide to the best ones available), but each functions slightly differently.

Whether you’re a frequent traveler, going for an afternoon walk, or have a pile of dishes that need washing, audiobooks are a wonderful way to squeeze in more reading time.
