Ratings and reviews

10/24 App switches between night and day modes when you page to the next chapter. The font changes size too. Still quirky. 7/2023 This app is still a bit quirky, but usable. If text is too long for the screen, it can show up on the next screen and interfere with the text there. Most audio books only show "track numbers" not chapters. Makes them a bit difficult to navigate.

The first couple of times I used this app it was great, but now it just will not load anything. I've tried to uninstall, reset my device, with wifi, without and nothing will work. It keeps saying something about a web problem and it's very annoying. I also wish they had a better way of sorting items. You can either sort by new or alphabetical and I just wish they had popularity or for you. I actually did like to use this app but it just will not work anymore unfortunately.

The availability time table of books still baffles me, but this is even more annoying. I just had a long book I was listing to expire. It expired today, so I found the book again to put on hold. The system says I clicked the hold button & that it's on hold, but it isn't. Now instead it has a suggest button & tells me my library doesn't accept suggestions. I'm 2/3 of the way through the book. Also, I often get errors when trying to borrow books. I wish I understood how this app "works."
