OverDrive: eBooks & audiobooks Reviews

I love overdrive!

ReadWhenYouCan

Like an old friend overdrive is there when I need it. The only thing I would change would be with audiobooks. I would like to be able to control the speed of the reader with a wheel or something similar. Sometimes the narrator reads way too fast and I would like to slow it down just a little bit. Or they read way too slow and I would like to speed it up just a little bit. That’s the only thing I would change.

Perfect app for library books

I have used this app for years to check out my library books, and I love it. I can check them out and read them in this app or I can send them to my kindle app to read.

Best app for my kid and me

It’s easy to borrow and place a hold in my library. I can borrow in online and read/listen the latest books.

Why no in-app Help? Tags Out of Control

I'd rate this app 5 stars if it wasn't for the puzzling absence of in-app help and the fact that recently the app has begun cresting a refular tag every time I select a title to find out more information. I just had to laboriously delete 50 tags that I never chose to create.

Needs a UX expert to do it over

Poor design. Excessive clicks. Difficult to get to a checked out book and start reading.

Love it to pieces

I get so much more reading done now. Love the option to have audio books along with regular ebooks. Best part I can use my library card more now than ever.

Overdrive and library

Reader1486

I use Overdrive to borrow from not only my local library but also connected libraries. It’s a great resource for both digital books and magazines as well as audio books.

Most user unfriendly UI on the planet!

I’m so tired of clicking my brains out to get to my wishlist, read a sample chapter of a book, review my account, etc, and having to start over and over and over and over just to do simple things. And trying to transition from old to new? I’ve never encountered a UI that makes you work so hard. I hate it. Wish there was another alternative. Anything but this would be an improvement. I’d rate this a negative 100 stars if it were possible. Alas, the only way to use my library ebooks is to endure a painful and frustrating encounter every time I want to visit my library. HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE! The worst.

Not user friendly

ShivaSafaeeee

Very hard to navigate through, it wants to download the book before you listen. Rb was way easier.

OverDrive is the best app I use for audiobooks. I hope they never change a thing! Thanks overdrive for making it great.
