Really neat! I often forget the titles of books I want to check out from the library, and Libby lets me check books out on the go. If it's not available as an e-book or audiobook, at least I have my search history so I remember stuff I wanted to read! Pretty cool little app, I'm enjoying it greatly. The reminders when due dates are approaching are helpful and keep me on top of it!

I really like this app. It's very easy to use and they are making improvements such as allowing me to see the availability of a book I'm interested for all 3 of my registered cards. Love this!! Not 5 stars due to glitchy downloading. Recently, I've found that downloads sometimes repeatedly fail. A couple work arounds are: • constant monitoring (staying on "my shelf" and scrolling up and down to keep screen active. • changing download preferences to mobile data to start then back to wifi.

I'm not really a reviewer but i've been using this app for a while now and i love that it's so easy to navigate and sign into my local library, great job i definately reccomend using this app. only thing i'd change is to be able to message and ask for specific books if the library doesn't have it. other than that great job! :)

Edit: Uninstalled & reinstalled, now working. Also, downloading books limits crashes. So much easier to use than Overdrive. I love the app. Sadly, it crashes often on my Galaxy note 8. And like other posters, after using it this morning, on opening the app tonight, all my cards and books and preferences are gone. it's asking me to reset up and borrow books all over again. What is up with that .

I am a high functioning autistic, therefore I struggle with icons/pictures. It would be great if all of the icons/pictures came with a quick access chart to remind the user of each function until one becomes familiar. Also I would enjoy a thorough use tutorial of how best to access various areas and "if one would like to do this," (for example if I want to find a mystery themed fiction book without vulgarity this is how).

This app is absolute garbage and keeps getting worse. Requires constant data connection - terrible for anyone who spends time in rural areas or drives through them. Now takes forever to reopen an audiobook you were just listening to. Refuses to work. The recent redesign is atrocious. Audiobook play is replaced with a pointless Libby button. What does the Libby button do? It seems to show me my library card or something - not an activity I needed made central. This thing has become a shtshow.
