This is such an amazing app,I don't go to the library anymore coz this app got everything you need(books)I really love this app and I would recommend this app to anyone who's looking for an app where you can read books online. The cool thing is it has audio books and ebooks 🙈 it's really cool guys....go ahead and download it😭🌚💓💍

Don't get me wrong it's great, but I have an issue with the fact that you can't create your own personal account and login with your public library online book selection. That kind of feature would be very helpful as my school is stubborn and I also can't find my school in the search!

This app is good, but the reason I gave it 3 stars was because, I used Tomball ISD but it didn't work. It would just take me to a different page and freeze. Please fix this bug.

I've had the app for a few days. Audio Audiobooks keep stopping mid sentence. This app is terrible.

I try to log in to the school district, but it always pops up with a screen that says, sorry, something went wrong. Please try again. I really wanted to like this app, too.

My school uses it and it barely works you'll be lucky if you manage to read anything because of how long it takes.

I love this app, and it makes reading so convenient compared to carrying around books everywhere. The highlighting, definition, and note functions are great. My only problem I have with it is that it's trying to be too much like a book. Sometimes I'm in the middle of reading and I put my finger down on my phone, making me go to the next page. If I could have an option to read each chapter by scrolling instead of turning pages, similar to Wattpad, I think the app would be perfect.

I LOVE this reading app! It's very easy and asthetic to use. I'm just super disappointed with a recent problem where I can't turn up the reading speed on audiobooks without the app giving me an error message saying that there's a problem with my internet connection--even though I have full bars. Otherwise, it's an awesome way to check out ebooks and read.

Great app that let's you access your kids local school library. 2 of my kids like listening to audiobooks and this is user friendly and a great second option when putting books on hold. My only issue is I wish you could have more than 3 holds at a time. Super frustrating when you have more than one book with a really long wait time. And it won't continue playing after I close the app. Overdrive will still play even after I close it, but this one won't. It has to hang out in the background.

It worked great for a while, but now when I try to open a book (I only do audiobooks), the little rotating circle goes around and around and it won't load. If I try opening another book, the play button will appear in my notification bar and I can start the audio that way, but it never loads fully. I can't make notes or see which chapter I'm on and how much of the book is left. I tried restarting the app and my whole phone. No change. So frustrating!

The app was great at first, I was able to find good books, wait wasn't that long, and it has audio books as well. Which I actually didn't expect at first. But then everything started to take 20 minutes to load INTO the app, I can't access the books I want because of the wait. And then when it finally loads, the app crashes and I can't load back in for another 20 minutes. I'm assuming its a glitch so I won't rate it low or anything. I hope it gets fixed soon though.

This is the greatest app that I have ever had I always get to read my favorite books all the time.

I hate the hate the app 🙄 because it never lists my school and when ever I type it it never shows up but it used to work and now it doesn't

L. S. Jun 12, 2020     

😕 Worked fine at first. I would have given it 4 stars. But now it's not working! I have to download the books each time I open the app. This takes about 10-15 minutes per book. But now after each book downloads, the others say download failed. I have to refresh each time to get the books to download. Now after opening the audio book either the fan keeps spinning or I get a message the book is not available. I've tried on 3 different devices, operating systems, and networks. 😟

I absolutely loved this app, but every few weeks some glitch came along and it sings you out of your account and there's NO way to get back in, which is super frustrating because you had so many holds, and Books in your library, and now they're all gone. As well as your history and achievements. This is the third time I've had to create a new account.

Kie. P. Feb 5, 2022     

Great app. Wonderful selection of books. I love the feature that allows you to link your local library and get unlimited loans as well as holds and an even greater selection of books. I looked a lot online yo find an ebook app that was free, and yhis was perfect. I don't need to buy many books anymore! Highly recommend, and I think it is a wonderful app for unprivleged kids.

Literally no reason I should have to put a hold and wait for a digital item

Che. May 26, 2020     

It's an amazing experience except I would like to know what timezone this is in because I had just finished reading a book at around about 4pm and once I finished an achievement popped up on the screen for reading before 7am 'early bird' and Im thinking that when someone opens the app up it should do something like connect to that person's timezone. All in all though if something helps that little problem this rating can reach 5 stars! Happy reading!

I use this for both my school and public library. It's great and can search in both in one search. The only issue is I don't receive email or push notifications. It makes it hard to know when I get books in without having to go into the app daily (or more) to check.

Che. M. Apr 3, 2020     

This app worked perfectly on my phone, but for the last few months it will not load. It goes to the blue screen and looks like it's trying to load, but it never gets past there. Super frustrating, especially as we enter distance learning.

i love that my school district has this. it always works for me. there are 3 main things that i like- 1, you can freeze your hold in place which is super helpful for non-school related books. 2, the highlight & notes feature. its super handy if you need to save certain things for an assingment. 3, it saves your spot. also it works with public librarys via your library card which is so handy overall, its super nice and i totally reccomend for school/not leaving your house for the library.

very good some times gliches out but only on a book that you read your self so if there is an oudio book but it only gliches for the first three pages and after that it works grate no poblems at all my school uses it all the time and it works great and it will only glich if you use an old device it's free and has no problems on an less than three year device. I LOVE this app SO SO SO! much i never ever ever read on anything on any other kind of app exept epic and I read some real books to tho.

I like how you can customize the font and background of the book but I personally like reading by scrolling and not just swiping page to page. In this way, I'm constantly immersed in the book and not how far I've gone in it.

Sar. W. Apr 30, 2020     

Claims to have settings but it does not actually let you change any of the settings for the app. I do not want to store all of the book files on my phone, but settings will not let me change off of automatic downloads.

Ver. F. Dec 1, 2020     

I love the concept, but things would run much better and be easier to access if they just integrated Sora within the Libby app. I think the option to assign books on a separate program is not actually helpful for students.

Ber. M. May 14, 2020     

It is an amazing app with exceptional books both of my daughters have this app on their devices. It is also amazing because there is no limit to how many books you can borrow. It also allows offline which is amazing when me and my don't have internet. Download this app and give it five stars.

Jac. Apr 29, 2020     

It won't even let me open it. Keeps saying technical difficulties. Internet is on, data is turned on, and this still doesn't work. Keeps timing out and then just won't do anything. Don't even bother with this app.

Kar. F. Jun 21, 2021     

This is a great all, but I rated it 4 starts because I don't know how to find regular books. When I try to look for some, I only find audiobooks. I don't know if this is a fault of mine or the app's, but I'll continue to search and update this comment when I get my answer.
