Ratings and Reviews
Editors’ Notes
There’s only one thing easier than visiting the library: bringing it to you. Meet Libby, an app that lets you log in to your local library to access ebooks, audiobooks, and magazines, all for the reasonable price of free. Sign in, link your library card, and go—it’s that simple.
Wonderful app
I keep recommending Libby. It’s the app all book lovers have been waiting for - thank you!
Irritating errors make it useless
Edit: removing one star, it got worse recently. Now I need to restart the app every time, it freezes on opening the audiobook. I’m on the fastest internet network, and my audiobook is downloaded, so it’s not my connection’s fault. Fix the app maybe? It would’ve been a perfect app, but constant playback errors made it impossible to fully enjoy any audiobook. Poor internet connection isn’t an excuse - errors happen on the fastest connection, one that handles every other streaming service. It happens with downloaded audio as well. Sometimes, the playback crashes after a minute or two into the chapter, which is irritating beyond words. Sometimes, errors happen one after another for no reason, and I need to restart the entire app. I’d love to give you 5 stars, but not until you finally fix the playback errors. After all, the app is mostly meant to listen to audiobooks, and it’s not the smoothest experience.
