enjoying the app.

I was having issues with the new update. Now everything is working well.

Too easy to change place when touching play button

The slider for changing your place in the book is too close to the pause/play button. I frequently accidentally touch the slider when trying to pause or resume and vastly change my place in the Book. Its not a simple task to find it again. The slider should be moved to the top of the screen, well away from the pause/play button.

Good, but...

Access to a wide catalog-good Control of presentation-good Readability on iPad-good Orientation response-bad All other apps respond to orientation of the iPad (portrait, landscape, inversion). This app hangs in whatever orientation its opened... have to close out completely then re-open if I read at the table then invert the iPad for couch. Not whining, still use it and glad to have it... weird bug in an otherwise adequate app.

Great way to read

This app is a great way to borrow books from the library! I use it often and have my wish list for future reads.

Audiobooks galore

This app has audiobooks galore. I havent been able to find much in the way of books for me to read but there are tons of books for me to listen to. It was a little odd for me at first but now I listen to books all the time. This app also gives me easy access to our library. I like it.

Good idea bad execution

Before the update and name change this app was actually pretty good, after the update it is COMPLETE garbage. About once every hour or 2 I use this mainly for audiobooks and this will stop for no reason all the time. When I try to push the play button it will deliver an error or itll crash, most of the time both. When I bring it back up I have to push play 6 times before it actually starts playing and itll start about a minute before it crashed. Really sad they made this so horrible when it once was great

Love it

I love this app

Ebooks

Great app. Love to read. Need more mysteries. We have enough Westerns. Thanks.

Bring back 3M

I read 8-10 books a week. Since it became iCloud I find the selection is less and most are under the heading (suggest) or are audio books. Also I have selected my genre but it never holds. Outlook had the largest selection but 3M was good too. Now I cannot get the print large enough either!! Frustrated.

Bring Back Overdrive!!!

This app is garbage. I enjoy the ability to check out books and audiobooks without actually having to go to the library to do so. I miss Overdrive it was much simpler to use, had a lot more variety, and never crashed or had issues. I wish my library would bring back Overdrive. Using this app makes it very hard to find the motivation to read, which is something I love to do.

Stopped working

All of a sudden I get an error msg on IPad, "unable to load data, bad gateway 512". Ive deleted and re-installed and still doesnt work. Also checked my phone and now it doesnt work there either.

Error 502

Ever since the latest update, I havent been able to browse or access my books. It says its offline. After deleting and reinstalling, tapping the screen gets a message with error 502. Please fix. This had been a great app.

Problems

Ever since my library switched Ive had problems w/this app loading. It says offline retry no connection bad gateway what?! I just want it to work when I want to read. So far thats 50/50. Not impressed. I used overdrive the last 4 years. No problems.

Slow, unresponsive, and loses my place

The audiobook listening speed is unbearably slow, with no adjustments possible. The ebooks part of the app does not (reliably) save my stopping point and resume there. When I place a book mark before stopping, it still starts at a random spot in the same chapter. I can stop it and go to the bookmark, but that usually crashes the program and I have to go to my bookmark again. Very unsatisfactory all around :-(

Great app for free reading

I cant complain when the books are free, I just wish it would have complete series and not just one or two in a series and youre left without one book. Other than that I love it.

Consistently offline

The server is consistently offline and cant access the site. So frustrating.

Poor performance

The app had malfunctioned more times for me than it has worked. Very disappointed that my library system chose to change to a system that has so many bugs.

What happened

With the latest update the app stopped working for me. Please fix

Good selection, ok interface

My library has Overdrive, CL, Hoopla, so among them I can get most books I want. I like the control over the font brightness for night reading, but navigating through the book is awkward. The search engine seems to be finicky and doesnt always find my author, though I have seen the My biggest complaint is that it has been "offline" for the last ( at least) 24 hours and I cant download books.

Stopped working

Since the update it has stopped working on my IPad. Please fix!!!
