The app is generally pretty good. I use it almost exclusively for audiobooks. Playback quality and download speed are good. Occasionally stops for no reason, but mostly great, just would like to know why there are sometimes books within a series missing. The Long Earth series is missing one of the audiobooks (The Long Mars) yet the ones either side are there. There are other series where I have had the same issue, too. There is a fair amount of variety, but books missing bugs me.

I love this App, compared to other options for Library Audiobooks think this is one of the two best. I would like to have more choice of course but that is beyond the control of this App and up to whichever Library I am borrowing from and whether the audiobook actually exists too! I WOULD very much love to have the option to swap between the different libraries I am a member of WITHOUT having to re-download all of my Borrows each time I do make that change. THEN this App would be 5 stars! ☮️

Been moved to this app from Libby by my local library service. The app works well for magazines, but I have a couple of suggestions for your development team. * There doesn't seem to be a way to navigate quickly around a magazine. In Libby, a swipe up showed a small thumbnail of the pages of the magazine, for navigation. * There are no notifications when a new issue of a magazine, that is subscribed to, is released. * The whole magazine has to be downloaded. A streaming option would be good.
