Ratings and reviews

I have had Overdrive for awhile now, and I absolutely love it. The convenience of it and simplicity of it makes it wonderful. I keep getting notifications that they will be switching to Libby. I tried Libby and personally like Overdrive better. More user friendly. The one thing I can say about Overdrive is new title recommendations, I feel it needs to be revamped into more title selections.

Overdrive is an absolute app to have if you enjoy reading. It is so convenient because you have the library at your fingertips without leaving the house. You pick from the app whatever you want to read whether it is a book or magazine and if you prefer an audio book, you can pick that as well. Once you are done with the item, a simple click of a button returns the item to the library! So convenient, so easy to use and so many items to choose from.

Good audio. However, It'd be nice if we could see the full length of each audiobook before borrowing it. Also, I don't understand why you suggest authors or titles in the search bar only to tell us that those searches are unavailable. Its quite disappointing. Lastly, and this may or may not just be the bluetooth earbuds, but when I pause my current book, then resume it while another audiobook downloads, it will play the new one instead. I don't like that.
