Ratings and reviews

Hoopla is a wonderful alternative to the pricey commercial Audible app. However, some important features do not work properly. The sleep timer does not always turn off play at the end of chapters. And the search feature is tedious to use. There is room for improvement. Libby is easier to use and more reliable. I hope Hoopla will continue to add more titles as audiobooks! And there are no Ads!!!!!

This app makes me angry every time I use it and has for the last 8+ years. I keep using it because of the book availability in the Hoopla collection. The selection is why the app is not two stars. While the app has many advanced features, it's lacking in the fundamentals. You cannot Fast forward or rewind via Bluetooth controls, car or headset. Most of the time when you have pause your playback for a while, you have to open the app again from scratch and select a book to listen to. Frustration!

Ok app if you are just reading a book. However, if you want to expand (pinch open/close) an art or craft book picture for a closer detailed look, or read very fine print, there is no option. I am able to do this in Libby and also in Overdrive. I have an art background so this is important to me. I do like the selection of books available, there's a really nice variety of books I have not seen in other library apps.
