Ratings and reviews

I love the app and hoopla in general. The most frustrating experience on the app is running out of borrows for the month. Love that I can download so having books or movies with sketchy internet options on flights is so much easier. I had a 10 hr flight that had no Internet when my plan had been to watch some Netflix. Instead I read 2 books on Hoopla. Much better use of my time.

Solid, with some mildly annoying features. It has the tendency to stop playing if you open another app. Additionally, if your screen locks and you pause what you're listening to, you have to unlock the screen to restart it, unless I'm doing something wrong. It does have access to a fair amount of media, and there's even an app on the TV so I can watch movies and TV shows that are on the system. So overall not bad but mildly annoying on occasion.

I love the idea of this app but it's unreliable. It's great being able to get access to some very popular books immediately but it's a headache to use the app. I listen to audiobooks and even after switching to 5 different sets of headphones and speakers there are time when the sound isn't right or has a crackle to it. Also in the middle of listening to an audiobook freezes or just stops playing for no reason. It loses me place in the book and puts me back at the beginning after 13 hours.
