I love the audiobooks for work and commute.

My favorite!! Audible is way too expensive for me and I'm willing to sacrifice a little selection for free books. I use multiple libraries and corresponding cards to make up for some lost selection. No ads. No problems once I figured out how to use it. The ui is tricky because every library has a different website.

I love reading on this app

Great app. I take out ebooks, audio books and movies. Selection appears to be growing over time. I have a Kindle and this is the best way to get free books for it. Excellent app. They've fixed functionality problems too.

A Must Have App

Love, love, love it!

Check out audiobooks, download and play in minutes. Easy to use and a great way to get good books economically. It's the modern way to link to your library.

One of best apps ever!!!

If you are lazy about reading or don't want to go to library to check out books or even buy books this app is the best for making you love reading and listening to audiobooks again. Def one of my fave apps ever!!!

Works well

I was going to rate the app a 4, my only complaint being that it didn't remember my library login, but that glitch has been fixed. Very easy to use. Can sort books by "available now" so you can listen immediately!

Gets the job done with some nice features

I've used this app for years now and am happy to say that it has been continually refined to a feature-rich, relatively glitch free product now. I find the interface between the app proper and my library's online collection can still be a bit clunky, but it does handle background downloading much better than a few versions ago. (It used to be that you had to stay in the app while waiting for download). The bookmarks and sleep timer are very useful. It would be nice if the skip functions could be set for time increments rather than the chapters set by the publisher. For older titles that are converted from CD, sometimes the audiobook publishers are lazy and don't index the actual chapters of the book and instead just divide the book up by disc. So you think pressing the skip button will just take you to the next chapter and instead you go 70 minutes ahead. This is NOT the app developers' faults, but I'd appreciate it if the app were smart enough to detect 60+minute chapters and sub divide them. All in all I can say that this app works well and I use it nearly every day. So kudos to the programmers for their continued improvements.

Good but not great

More clicks than there should be and cannot easily go back to where you were once a book is put on hold. Not as intuitive as it should be like other apps. Difficult for older users. The book titles don't fit on one page even changing the font style and size. Needs an update. When updating the app, shouldn't lose your settings.

Pretty good

I use this app for audiobooks. It serves well. It sometimes makes signing in difficult and other times not. I think it's the difference in signing in from the Sign In command and signing in from the personal account icon. I haven't used this app long enough to really get it straight.

Decent app, interface leaves a bit to be desired

The app functions well, no crashes. The interface is a bit cluttered. Also don't like that I have to select my library every time from the NEIBORS list even with the "remember library" box checked. Overall it is solid and works more than adequately.
