Unable to download e-books from library
Wild Type
I tried to use this app to download Overdrive e-books borrowed from our county library. The app fails to connect with the fulfillment server, so e-books can't download. I tried the app on my iPhone 5S, iPad Air 2 and Samsung tablet, with the same frustrating results. I was however able to successfully use the PC version of Adobe Digital Editions, and can transfer downloaded e-books onto my Nook Simple Touch Reader. For smartphone and tablet users who want to borrow Overdrive e-books from a library, I would highly recommend the Libby app. It's excellent!
Atrocious
asah dude
I'm in disbelief at how bad this app can be, and even looking back 5 years, it is STILL as bad today. "Go to Page" does not work (are you kidding me???) It takes me 20 minutes on average to load a book from the cloud. There are tons of weird zoom glitches, that end up making the book ultra small in the top left corner of the iPhone screen. Ive used this app for a total of about an hour and it already is the worst thing in existence on my phone. I feel bad for the development team of this program. Someone in management absolutely does not care about the quality of this app.
Overall a good app, could use more improvements.

Great app, just wish it offered more futures and advanced futures that Adobe PDF provides. I would also like to see this app support split-view mode in a future update.
Absolutely Useless

Very poor documentation, login and authorization system keeps users running in circles - without end. Like others, I've come back to this app for years, hoping that it has been fixed. Nope. How this EVER got adopted by libraries and others to make it easy to download and enjoy their offerings, I'll never understand.
Horrible: Does not work

After 1 1/2 hours chatting with Adobe support to resolve an "unable to contact server" error they gave up said to just post a question on their forum page as they "don't support this 3rd party app". In other words it does not work and they can't (won't) fix it. BTW, the app has an Adobe 2017 copyright... so their attempt to blame a 3rd party is pretty lame. Typical of Adobe... My suggestion: Find another book format. Stay away from ePub books...
One of the worst apps out there

Why Adobe cannot create a digital reader that’s equal to acrobat or at least has a few useful features that actually work is beyond comprehension. They’ve been in the business far too long to make excuses. This app is as clunky as clunky gets. Better to stick to hard copies of textbooks if possible than waste your time with a Stone Age app that even a caveman would find lacking.
Loathe this app

This app is terrible and never works. Regardless of the connection it always says it cannot connect to server.
