Still a drag to use

Can’t watch videos I borrow? Can’t speed up audio more than 2x? And I can’t even look at the notifications on the app because it keeps restarting. Still doesn’t let me recommend books using your app. Overdrive lets me not only recommend books, but even browse books my library doesn’t own. :/
Soo Easy

I have used a few different apps for library services. This by far is the easiest to find and return books.

This app is terrific for traveling! I have have used it to pass the time on airport layovers, delays & just traveling, when I’m a passenger, of course! I’m so glad to have it in my collection!
Awesome App

It’s very good app to read and listen to audio books. If you don’t want to purchase Kindle then try Libby. :)
Amazing

This app has been really useful! I didn’t read much before I downloaded this app, partially because I was anxious about going to the physical library and partially because I haven’t been motivated enough to read, but because of this app I’ve been able to just read little bits whenever I want to. I don’t have to carry a book around and I don’t need to commit to a three-hour reading session. I’d really recommend this to any other burnt-out former gifted kids or really just anyone who wants to read.
Fantastic but a little flawed

It’s so wonderful to be able to take out digital books and audio books for free! That said, the system is funky - so many books I wanted weren’t available, so I had to put holds on them. Then they ALL started coming in at the same time, so I couldn’t read them fast enough. There should be a way when a book appears on your shelf to say, I’m not ready, give it back to me in two weeks, and let it bump to the next person in line! So simple and would make everyone happy. I realized I could return it and then put a hold on it again, but it was annoying to have to find the work around. Even more frustrating, the book I was reading expired and I wasn’t able to renew it since people were waiting - now it’s gone! I’ll get it back in a couple weeks, but by then I’ll have started a new book and forgotten half the story! Finally, my dream would be to be able to switch between reading on the screen and listening to the audio, so I don’t need to have two books going at once - I start mixing them up and would much rather just absorb one at a time. All of these things seem super easy to do with a digital app, so I hope Libby will make some of these changes!
Syncing Problems

I used to totally love this app, but recently it stopped syncing between my various devices. Even worse, I'd return a bokk early on a device and it wouldn't actually return. What's up Libby?
Free books

Free books, and really easy to log into multiple libraries. There is always tons of content available.
