Ratings and reviews

Few bells and whistles, but it does the job. Two issues that bring it down a star: 1) I can't skip forward/back with the buttons on my headphones or steering wheel, which works fine for other audio apps. 2) The volume sometimes gets stuck on low when connected to my vehicle. If my maps app "talks" it usually resets the Hoopla volume, but it also happens sometimes when I'm not even actively using maps. Setting a random destination, then cancelling after it "talks" is still faster than rebooting.

So this app usually works well / as expected, but for longer audiobooks it inevitably will lose my place at some point halfway-ish through and restart from the beginning. This leaves me to play a fun game of "fast-forward until I figure out where I left off". I appreciate the functionality and access to free books though, so it's well worth it!

Great platform with access to so many audiobooks. I love the suggestions feature based on what you listen to, as well as right after you finish an audio book. The algorithm for suggestions are on point. ONLY drawback: audio does not pause when GPS voice comes on. It continues playing in the background at a lower volume.
