Audiobooks are all the rage right now. You can listen to books almost all the time like while driving or working.

There are a variety of platforms, apps, and services to choose from as well and many large ebook platforms include audiobook support natively now. Here are the best audiobook apps for Android!

Amazon Kindle is the world’s most popular ebook platform and it has native support for Audiobooks. However, Amazon also owns Audible so most of Kindle’s audiobook experience ties in with Audible. In any case, you kind of get the best of both worlds with this one. There are millions of audiobooks and millions of regular books as well. Additionally, you can subscribe to Kindle Unlimited for unlimited access to a million or so regular and audiobook titles for $9.99 per month. It’s an excellent platform for audiobook fans.

Audible is the world’s most popular audiobook platform. Amazon owns it so you know the selection is good. Plus, you can buy audiobooks on their own or subscribe for some free books and discounts on others. This is a rather unique business model and you can go the way you want to go. The app works well enough on mobile and it’s easy enough to listen anywhere else as well. The overall experience is actually very simple. You log in, start buying books, and then listen to them like you normally would. We have very few complaints although updates can occasionally cause some bugs.
Price: Free / Book prices vary / $14.95 per month
Audiobooks.com rivals Audible as one of the big dogs in the audiobook apps space. It works very similarly. You can sign up and just buy books or you can subscribe, get some books for free ever month, and get discounts on others. It boasts a rather large collection of audiobooks along with over 700,000 podcasts for a surprisingly engaging 2-in-1 experience. It also supports downloading for offline listening along with variable playback speed controls. It’s a solid overall option even if, like Audible, it’s a little bit expensive.
Price: Free / Book prices vary
Google Play Books only recently added audiobooks to its impressive list of features. Still, it’s an excellent platform for both regular reading and audiobook listening. It boasts a ton of audiobooks as well as regular books. Additionally, Google Play uses a super basic model. You simply buy a book and it’s yours to read or listen to with no subscription options. The app also lets you preview audiobooks before you buy and it works multi-platform with iOS and the web (Windows, Linux, Mac). You also get offline support and a night mode if you need it.
Price: Free / Book prices vary
Kobo Books, along with Google Play Books and Barnes & Noble’s Nook, is one of Amazon’s biggest competitors. The app works a lot like the Amazon Kindle app. You can purchase and download regular books as well as audiobooks. The main focus is regular books but the audiobook thing is getting more and more attention. The app itself has a few bugs here and there, but it’s a decent overall alternative to Amazon and Google.
