You can also lent eAudio and eMusic titles, listen to them via streaming or download them directly onto your device. Following the same principle as the web-based Onleihe, the lent titles can be consumed free of charge for a certain set amount of time.

You can search directly throughout the app or browse the collection of your library through different categories and eMagazines. On first sight, you’ll see if a title is available and you can alter your search results with an wide array of different filter or sort options.

The detailed view of a certain title will give you all the information you seek, from the name of the book, the author, to the series name, length and much more. If a title is temporary not available you can also reserve it. As soon as the title is then available for you, you will get an e-mail notification to the address you specified. Your reservations are easily accessible with an overview and you can directly lent the titles if they are available. Should you no longer need an ongoing reservation or if you do need to change the address, you are able to edit or delete your reservations.

Ratings and reviews

just cannot access my media, constant error message telling me I should check my internet connection. I have, it's fine, everything else works. so frustrating. Only using the app for audio books and the UX is super bad. Everything feels sluggish loading times if they work at all are incredibly long and I can't even check if the built in media player remembers my place in the book, because since the first time I've used it, the thing stopped working completely.

I use it for eAudio only and it worked fine, but now I cant download to the device anymore (your request could not be processed). Also when a title expired I wasn't done with and I lent it anew it didn't "refresh" but I had to delete the one on my phone, then download it again and had to search through it to find where to continue. (minor "problem" but annoying nonetheless)

I have not yet played around that much, but in my case the prompt concerning disk writing permissions didn't show up and it kept throwing an io error when trying to read books, I fixed it manually, but for people with little to no experience this could be a complete turnoff... Furthermore the integrated reader simply didn't work(stayed blank) in my case, so I had to use adobe DE as a reader. But the rest seems to work fine

What’s new

- Correction of control elements for eAudios with only one chapter
- General optimization of eAudios
- Error message for missing external reader optimized
