Ratings and reviews

On the plus side, a single app will allow you to borrow ebooks, audiobooks, music, &/or videos. On the negative side, the app doesn't bookmark one's place very well in audiobooks (especially when switching airplane mode off & on), and the search function is terrible if one wants to browse. As to the latter, it'd be nice if there were categories and subcategories (for example, nonfiction... history... world history).

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.
