Ratings and reviews

The audiobook selection is ok, but I haven't been using all of my monthly credits because of the glitches . The app doesn't stay connected and I have to reopen the book often. It skips several chapters ahead and I have to figure out what chapter I was actually listening to. It's a great option, when paired with other platforms to get everything in looking for.

Is ok. I use it to listen to audiobooks I have downloaded when I am in an area with poor service. The app doesn't work in poor service areas at all unless I put it in airplane mode. I can take it off that mode once the book starts playing but it is an extra step. It makes no sense that the app won't load properly until I do that though. I am sure it has to do with the particular subscription my library has but I also think six titles a month is pretty stingy.

EDIT: I still love this app but I found a bug that prevents me from using it when I'd like. Later at night (after ~9pm MST) if I try to borrow a new title, I get a "daily limit reached" error, even when I haven't borrowed anything else that day. It seems like maybe a timezone issue... But nighttime is when I most often want to listen to an audiobook! Almost all the features I could ever want, especially with dark mode now! I use the bookmarks and sleep timer all the time.
