A Few Recommendations – hoopla Digital Review

This app is my go-to for books when overdrive doesn't have the selection I want. I've actually been on it more than Overdrive recently because of the variety of book genres Hoopla has. I love this app because it has so many different books available and with a wide variety of genres. Unfortunately, though I like this app a lot, there are a few issues that I have trouble with, as well as a few common features that would improve the app well. For starters, this app would be so much easier to find books and movies on if there was a way to pick multiple genres when searching for a type of book. I could find a book I want and it's both in the romance and detective genre. However, if I want to find books similar to that one, I can't search up books in both romance and detective genres at the same time. This makes it really hard to narrow down stories to read and forces me to waste a lot of time discarding the stories I don't want. My other recommendation is a way to recommend titles. If there is one, I haven't seen it. And trust me, I've looked. There are some books I just can't find anywhere unless they are added to overdrive or hoopla. Sometimes what I recommend to Overdrive is added to the book collection but other times it isn't. In that case I look to Hoopla, hoping it will be able to provide what the other app could not. But if it doesn't have the title I want, I can't even recommend it. This can be somewhat frustrating. Overall, Hoopla is a good app but needs improvements. In my opinion, my first recommendation about the easier navigation of book searching by the selection of multiple genres would be a lot of help to app users. Edit: After the recent update, my books won't save my reading spot like they did before. If I close the book and reopen it, it starts me at the beginning of the chapter, which can be frustrating if I only have 10 pages left of a 42 page chapter. I have to scroll through all the previous pages. And the bookmarks button doesn't work either anymore. If I bookmark a page, when I click it it just takes me to the beginning of a chapter. Occasionally, maybe one out of 10 tries, it'll work. But mostly it refuses to work at all. Is there anyway to have this fixed please?
