Éist: PDF/Ebook to Audiobook downloads
Worldwide, per day, and installs to date. The band is open; the exact number is free with an account.
How this is calculated
Apple publishes no download counts. App Store downloads come from chart positions and daily rating growth per country, calibrated on Google Play install counts; lifetime installs from ratings worldwide × installs per rating. Confidence is the chance the real number is within half to double ours.
Active users
All platforms, worldwide. Free with an account.
Stickiness (DAU / MAU)
how many monthly users open it on a given day
How this is calculated
Monthly users come from lifetime installs across every store, fitted on monthly active user figures companies publish; daily users = monthly × the typical daily/monthly ratio for the category. Confidence is the chance the real number is within half to double ours.

Review momentum
55/100
faster than 58% of Books apps
Review momentum (0-100) blends how fast the app collects ratings compared with other apps in its category (60%), whether that pace is speeding up (25%) and what recent raters give it (15%; recent stars well below lifetime pull it down). Ratings counts are read daily. A jump usually means a launch, a feature, ads or a new review prompt.
About Éist: PDF/Ebook to Audiobook
Unlimited books and unlimited listening, free. No ads, no account, no catch. Éist turns any EPUB or PDF into a natural-sounding audiobook — offline once a voice is downloaded, with Read-along that lights up each word exactly as you hear it.
Éist (pronounced "esht", Irish for "listen") uses on-device AI voices to read your ebooks aloud. Import a file, pick a voice, press play. Your library stays on your device and works with no internet once a voice is downloaded. No ads, ever.
READ ALONG AS YOU LISTEN
As the voice narrates, each word appears one at a time, perfectly in sync with the audio, with the focal letter highlighted — so your eyes stay on the page and your focus stays on the story. Tap the bolt icon while listening to switch it on, and use the sync dial to fine-tune the timing. Great for focus, following along, and language learning.
LISTEN TO ANY BOOK
Import any EPUB or PDF from your device and Éist reads it aloud with remarkably natural AI voices. Perfect for commutes, workouts, chores, or winding down at the end of the day.
EXPRESSIVE AI VOICES
Choose from a curated selection of on-device voice engines — Kokoro, Piper and Supertonic. Each has a distinct character and accent, across dozens of languages. Preview before you commit, and switch any time mid-book.
SMART AHEAD-OF-PLAYBACK SYNTHESIS
Éist pre-generates audio ahead of where you're listening, so playback is seamless. Chapters you've already heard replay instantly from your local cache.
FULL PLAYBACK CONTROLS
- Adjustable speed (0.5x-3.0x)
- Sleep timer
- Background playback with lock-screen and Control Centre controls
- Chapter navigation, skip forward / back
WORKS OFFLINE, CLOUD OPTIONAL
Download a voice once and listen with no connection. Your books, your progress and your synthesised audio live on your device. New on iPhone: Cloud Assist starts our best voice, Kokoro, straight away, before it has downloaded, and can help with your own books on Wi-Fi. It keeps no book text and no audio, and you can turn it off any time in Settings.
DISCOVER FREE BOOKS
Browse and download thousands of free public-domain books from Project Gutenberg, right inside the app.
PRIVACY YOU CAN TRUST
No account required. No ads. We never sell your data. Usage and diagnostic data help us improve Éist; you can turn off analytics in Settings. Email is entirely optional: we only ask if you'd like a reminder before your trial ends, or if you choose to join our newsletter. Your book files, saved position and synthesised audio stay on your device. With Cloud Assist on, upcoming text excerpts are sent to prepare speech. It keeps no book text or audio, just an app-generated installation ID, daily usage counts and short-lived technical records.
