I have no issues using Overdrive, indoors. Outdoors, not so much. The screen darkens in bright light, making it impossible to read. I adjust the phone settings, and every other aspect of the phone is responsive...except this app. Is this an app issue or a phone issue? Any help is appreciated.

Editing review: I've been using this app for years and love the concept, the variety, everything. But the past 6 months to a year the narration just pauses. There seems to be no rhyme or reason, doesn't matter if my screen is on or off, app is open or closed, close to my phone or far when using BT, it just randomly pauses whenever it wants. It's extremely annoying. I hope this is fixed with the new app Libby. Easy to use and tons of new books and classics!!

I LOVE audio books. This app allows me to download hundreds of books from my library right from the comfort of my own home or anywhere there is an internet connection. Quick, easy amazing! Update: 5/14/22 It's been several years and I still love this app. I switched to another library app and it is not as reliable as this once. You can download the books onto your phone so you can listen when your off line.Try it. Please don't get rid of this app.
