  • Like the access but lots of bugs

    If they can get the bugs worked out this would be great. I love audio books, but listening in this app is frustrating.- chapters repeat - book is playing will finish chapter 3 and go back to chapter 2.- if you go out of the app and back in, it randomly picks where it is picking back up. Frequently 5 or 10 chapters behind where you were.- sometimes 2 chapters would play at once. Had to close the app and then it would start the book over.

    App is okay.. it doesn’t keep up with where you leave off very well, even if you bookmark where you are. Last book I listened to it would restart me from chapter 1 everytime I opened the app to listen, super annoying. The current book I’m listening to it starts me back over at previous chapter and now when I open the app nothing loads and it’s just a black screen. When it works it’s great, love the book selection but wish the little things would be fixed!

  • Thankful for the Palace Project...

    Loving the library access, but not the bugs. The app works pretty well, but sometimes takes forever to load. Another issue is that sometimes books won't load at all, and I just have to return them and try again—unless someone else has it on hold (then I can't get it back and have to put it on hold again). Would love the ability to do a deep search and suggest new books, like Libby. Thx!

  • Small print

    Love that my Terry Pratchett books are available, this is 5e only app I can find them within, however I can’t read the smaller print books. While I have enlarged my system settings font to accommodate, this app is not communicating properly with my iPad so the words won’t get any bigger. Could the next system update include larger print abilities?

  • Glitchy App

    I love the concept of this app and have taken out several books but now the app isn’t loading at all. Just blank pages and no buttons work. It also loses track of where you last stopped reading. I guess I will have to uninstall and reinstall to hopefully get my catalog back. I had to do this a month ago and it is a bit of a pain as you have to relink to your library and risk losing your place in line on your reservation list.

  • App just OK

    My library just switched to this app. It doesn’t have the features the other app had and it is disappointing. It doesn’t keep a history of the books you have downloaded. The previous app kept a history and if you redownloaded it, it would take you to the spot you were at previously. Also, it doesn’t keep an accurate spot of where you left off on the current book you are reading. I hope they add some more features in the future.
