Ratings and reviews

PROS: 1. Great customer service 2. Great selection of books 3. Supports indie bookstores 4. Decent prices CONS: 1. The app crashes 2. You can't (at least I haven't found a way) save your CC# so you can just hit the buy button. You have to enter it every time you go to buy a book. 3. You can't search or purchase books through the app 4. It's sometimes hard to find the book you're looking. 3 to 3.5 stars. When the app isn't crashing, it's a 5 star. 😐

I'm so glad I left Audible and got Libro. Same monthly price, same huge library, but now I'm supporting my local bookstore with every purchase. The app is beautifully designed and enjoyable to use. The only minor difference is I have to purchase books in a web browser instead of the app, but that only takes a split second longer and plenty of other ebook services work the same way. Switch to Libro, you'll love it!

If this is going to be presented as an alternative to audible it needs to have an app at least comparable to audible (if not better, one would think). You cannot purchase books in the app. Like, that alone is ridiculous. I'm looking at the same three books I bought and knowing if I want more I have to get on my computer and find more on the website (which again my understanding is, is not as robust as audible). Anyway, maybe it'll get better but right now I'm disappointed.
