Ratings and reviews

App often closes mid stream for no apparent reason. Does not pair well with Bluetooth earphones, and about every other book I listen to, it will start the book from the beginning. App closes down after only 30 or so seconds of inactivity, so if I have to pause (through my headphones) If I don't immediately press play, it will shut the app down. Selection is decent, and love that it's all free with my library card... just has some bugs to work out.

I love that my library connects to Hoopla and that I can download books, audiobooks, even movies on demand. 5 stars for that. Hoopla as an app is buggy. More than once, when I've prepared for a trip by downloading my book ahead of time, Hoopla says, NOT TODAY, and makes it impossible to read my book. Super frustrating. Sometimes it just starts an audiobook from the beginning, and loses the position I was at - not easy to get back to the same spot. 3 stars for the app itself.

I have only used it to read, but it's worked wonderfully for that! I've never had any of the problems others have mentioned with the app and my library allows many check-outs (thanks EVPL!) from a ton of content. I just wish it would show the next book in a series as a 'recommendation' at the end of a book in a series, instead of the same recommendations it gives me in the home screen. Not a huge deal to back out of the book and go to the authors page, but it would sure be convenient.
