BorrowBox 4+

GREAT APP!!! I’M AMAZED!

THIS APP IS SOO GOOD!!! I downloaded this thinking there would be a whole load of ads and in-app purchases to make it better except it’s false advertisement and it doesn’t actually make anything different. BUT THERE IS ACTUALLY 0 ADS AND NO IN APP PURCHASES AT ALL!!! This app makes it so much easier for me. I have ADHD and autism and sometimes for some, weird reason, I don’t want to read it but I want someone else to. Like: on an audiobook! If the one I want isn’t free yet, for example: someone borrowed it already, I would get one that is ready for me and I’d listen to that! Basically the easy and shirt way to say this is: If you’re looking for an app that is actually good, and fun but also relaxing for bedtimes get this app!! It’s really good, has no ads at all, and relaxes you enough to get to sleep peacefully and have a good sleep! Go get this app now! I got it a few years ago and I STIL love it! It changed my sleep. Before I had sleepless nights that mostly always ended in me being tired and easily irritated in the morning, but now I get more, and better sleep I’m happier in the mornings! GO GET THUS APP TODAY!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Better than all others

I use the BorrowBox app every day and I have compared it to Audible , Libby and several others. I find it much easier to use due to the fact that the volume control is in the app itself and doesn’t require me to fiddle around with the buttons on the side of my phone. I also find it very helpful that I can see other books by the same author and if I like the narrator I can easily search by that name too simultaneously seeing if the book is available or how long I’ll have to wait. I can also see if my library has all of the books in a series and if I’m downloading in the right sequence. The sleep control is also easy to use. In all of the above it is significantly better than it’s competitors. The only problem I have is that after reading several hundred books and as I grow older it’s very hard to remember which ones I’ve read from each author and it would be fantastic if the app had that function.

Makes borrowing audiobooks easy

This is one of a few apps I like for listening to audiobooks. While it’s a useful app I don’t understand why it’s the only audiobook app that doesn’t have what I consider a basic functionality- the 30secs rewind/forward buttons on the lock screen. Not having these buttons when my phone is in lock mode means having to log in every time I need to rewind 30 secs. It’s cumbersome! All my other audiobook apps has this feature. I think it’s a necessity and don’t understand how a popular app can be missing this essential feature! Hence 3 stars.

Update: I notice that the 30 secs rewind/forward is now on the Lock Screen, so thank you for listening. However when I use the forward or back buttons in the car (or my Bluetooth earphones), instead of rewind/forward 30 secs it jumps to the beginning or end of a chapter. Frustrating trying to find the place again. Other audiobook apps and podcast apps I use recognize the car / Bluetooth earphones rewind/forward as the 30secs back/forward. Please change this!
