Описание
Palace is a free, easy-to-use e-reader app that lets you find, check out, and read or listen to books from your local library.
It’s been said that libraries are “palaces for the people” and the Palace app gives you instant access to your local “palace” any time, right from the palm of your hand.
All you need to sign up is your library card! And even if your library isn’t using Palace yet, you can still read more than 10,000 books--from children’s books to classics to foreign language books--for free from our Palace Bookshelf.
The Palace app is built and maintained by The Palace Project, a not-for-profit division of Lyrasis working in partnership with Digital Public Library of America with funding from the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation. For more, visit https://thepalaceproject.org.

Оценки и отзывы
Beautiful, simple and elegant
I really like this app! It’s so simple to use and easy to find books from my library. I am finding books that I didn’t even know the library had when I was using Libby! I luv exploring my libraries “shelves” in the app, it is such an elegant design. I have yet to wait for a book to become available for there is always something great to borrow and read when I want to! I like the night mode too. I can’t believe this a library app!
Not great - not bad, but has its issues
Leaving a review as it looks like the CS team is pretty responsive. I really like the interface to search for books, which lets you drill down by genre and subgenre but also allows you to View All. Much better than Libby in the ease of use there. I wish there was a “save for later” type functionality - maybe someday. :)
Where things fall apart for me is the audiobook playback. Biggest issue is that it heats up my phone and absolutely chews through my battery - doing nothing but listening (through Bluetooth headphones, connected to my home wifi) for the ~90 minutes drained my battery (iPhone 11, 75% performance per Settings) from ~75% to ~30%. Another quibble is that when moving from one track to the next, it seems to play the new track for 15-90 seconds and then jump back to the beginning. That’s a little weird and kind of annoying, but not a dealbreaker for me like the battery issue.
Ответ разработчика ,
Hi and thank you for using the Palace app! We are currently optimizing our audiobook features and will be rolling out bug fixes for the audiobook skipping. We’re also sorry to hear that you’ve run into some technical issues regarding battery usage. If you contact us at appreview@thepalaceproject.org with the specifics surrounding your experience, we’re more than happy to open a support ticket.
Dark Mode Supported
Dark mode is supported. There is a distinction between the app interface and what you see when you are reading a book. With the help of the developer, Jill, I was able to switch back-and-forth both the app and/or the book to either a white background with black text or a black background with white text. Thanks, Jill.

Dark mode is currently available in the Palace App. The app interface will reflect light or dark mode settings native to your device. To change the background color of an eBook, open the title and click on the "tT" settings tab in the upper righthand corner of the screen.
