User reviews

Have they done something to the app it is now shocking a book plays for 30 seconds and then crashes it used to be OK not as good as libby but adequate I would give it 0 stars now but that's not an option Update. After reinstalling it has worked fine for a while but now crashes again every few seconds. Can you please fix it. It would be no stars but I can't go that low

Appalling. Really poor app; temperamental and inconsistent. Sometimes works ok sometimes not at all; sometimes books will download sometimes not. Occasionally shuts down spontaneously during use. Not a great choice of audiobooks; sometimes has books unavailable on other players. Vastly inferior to Libby and Borrowbox in terms of functionality. Having read a number of the other reviews (1.9 stars seems flattering)n this app seems to have been poor for years and not improving at all.

Very buggy app. works badly even in a brand new, top of the range mobile phone. In my previous phone, unfortunately it crashed my phone every time I open an audio book; The screen flashes on and off until the phone rebooted. Difficult to see where you are on the book. You cannot use Bluetooth buds to control back and forth or volume. Sound is also very erratic! Decides to lower the volume on its own accord. Not worth the effort. Reported to the local library.
