• If you're looking for classic literature and rather unknown authors, the audiobook app from Vorleser.net is a good choice. The app is available for download for iOS and Android in the respective App Store. However, the library of Vorleser.net is with about 750 titles quite small compared to the offer of other providers.
• Another option is the app LibriVox, through which you can access more than 50,000 titles. The books on LibriVox are set to music by volunteer speakers and uploaded to the app. This allows you to enjoy what's on offer for free. However, there are no current titles on the platform.
• The music streaming services Spotify and Deezer also have some audio books in their range. You can use both services for free with a user account.
