I've used Libby for several years and loved it. The last several months have been very disappointing with it shutting down constantly. Even when my audiobook is downloaded if I am driving and switch towers it shuts down. I have to restart the app (obviously not ideal for driving hands free). When laying in bed and I set the sleep mode to 30 minutes it shut down after 2 or 3 minutes - 6 times. I had to restart the app to get it going again. The constant shut down is awful. I have android 11 OS.

Libby is an improvement over Overdrive. It's fast. It's convenient. Number 1 gripe: I use Libby all the time, so why do I need to repeatedly verify my card. I'm clearly actively using it, so why? The search engine is clunky. Searching by author doesn't always result in a complete list. You have to search by title. I can't transfer holds across library cards--which matters if I can't verify a card in that moment. They also don't always stock a complete series.

love this app!! one suggestion.... maybe consider putting in an option to save the books you want to read and be able to go back and look at the list later. I know you can check out as many as you want, but that's often more than you can realistically read. you can also "save for later" books that your library doesn't own yet. but no options to save the books you like or might want to read in the future ***update- just realized you can save. just not sure how to find them afterwards.

Great app but I don't like the recent update that makes it hard to download a book for offline reading. I liked the manual option to download. Occasionally, if I lose cell service and the book stops playing, the next time I open the app, the book begins from the beginning. I think this is because the app uses data to save your bookmark??? Other than those minor gripes, this app is great and Kris me awake on my commute!

This app is a great resource! I had eyebsurgery and wanted to try audio books- I've listened to 8 in a month! All you need is a library card and you get access to free ebooks and audio books. The functionality is great too- holds on books that you can delay, a two lane system for waiting lists, speed controls for audio, tags, basically all you would need.
