Libby

I tried Libby when it was first released. Unlike Overdrive I now need WiFi. I find the structure clunky. Reading a book on Overdrive I can see the number of pages in one corner and the number left to go in the chapter in the other. Useful when my wife wants to turn the light off. Not sure why Libby couldn't keep this feature. I contacted support and was told how I could do it, essentially leave the book. As a former IT guy it's rare to see a revamped app that is so much worse than the original. Why? Can't stand that the libraries are all endorsing this. They are like the Apple apologists in the past who could never accept any criticism of Apple. BTW I'm Apple all the way and they listened to consumers, unlike Overdrive.

Your service is still clunky. I should be able to filter out previously read books. Having to scroll through page after page of available books that I've already read is tedious. And, I've used Overdrive then Libby for many many years now. I should be able to merge all previously read books between the two apps together and I should Not need to export the data to a file! Hire some programmers!

This is a great source where everyone can enjoy listening to the audiobooks. I like listening to such books especially when you are busy doing something else.

I give Libby 5 stars. It was so very easy to work with, so easy to figure out. I never had to request help from the library staff. Search is easy too.

I've been using Libby's mobile app for some time now. I am able to borrow books through my library for FREE. It is amazing because I used to pay so much for subscription fees since I go through a lot of audio books on my long commute.

Worst app ever. I've loved Overdrive for years. On ebooks, I always used accessability on my IOS, as a reader, but now Libby says must use voiceover instead. Unfortunately voiceover completely took over my iphone and shrouded my password so even after I finally figured out how to enter it, it won't accept it without first turning voiceover off, but now it does a 30 min lockout from even trying to log on whenever I put in my password. After hours of trying all the usual fixes for both iphone log in and turn off voiceover, Apple Care says probably the only way now is to wipe and restore. Thanks Libby guys, won't you please either keep Overdrive. Otherwise can anyone suggest an alternate Library app with a text reader that doesn't use voiceover?

There are THREE disadvantages to Libby that CAN NOT be corrected -
1 - It is IMPOSSIBLE to lighten Libby so it can be read in sunlight - this app is NOT equipped to be read outdoors - therefore - it is Way LESS an improvement from the OVERDRIVE app.
2 - YOU CANNOT adjust the font correctly - I want the font to be bigger and LIBBY will not allow you to do that. It is impossible to get past "medium" to the larger font.
3- Libby KEEPS REVERTING back to "justified" and "Times New Roman" which of course is a total inconvenience because just as I FINALLY had the font fixed (which took me almost a half hour) it reverted to justified text, then when I fixed it so it was "left justified" the font reverted TO the lower font and REFUSED to be adjusted to the larger font.
OVERDRIVE IS SO MUCH BETTER - LIBBY IS NOWHERE NEAR THE QUALITY AS OVERDRIVE.

Used Overdrive for years. I download audiobooks for myself and my daughter. I used to be able to transfer these easily to my ipod nano. (This doesn't connect to the internet). My daughter used to listen to them on long car journeys and I'd listen to mine in the garden. Now you need to be connected to wifi. The whole purpose of audiobooks is to be able to listen to them on the move, doing something else. You have removed Overdrive which was easy to use and replaced it with something that is complicated and not fit for purpose. So disappointed.

I actually tried Libby before I switched to Overdrive. Libby is unintuitive, clunky and less functional than Overdrive. I understand that at some point Overdrive won't work anymore but then and only then will i downgrade from Overdrive to Libby. I wish i could rate this app less than 1 star.

I actually prefer listening to audio books because it seems to me that it's more interesting and you can even do whatever you want. If you need to go somewhere just remember that you have to take headphones and phone with you. There are lots of services which offer audio books listening, nevertheless I have decideto stop at this company. Books here are awesome and the subscription isn't very expensive. It's pretty cheap. The quality of the audio is very high, so you don't need to bother that you will not understand things that dictors will explain you.

It's crap at downloading over wi-fi.
It fails often, takes many times, chapters are missing, etc.
What poor programming!

Whenever my computer reboots, I lose all of the saved information. It is very frustrating to remember what titles that I tagged or requested.

Libby is supposedly easier to use. I am beyond frustrated. There is no account page with clear indications on what to do, where to go.
Account page has my loans, holds, wishlist, rated titles, recommendatiins, histiry, settungs. EASY. Just click what you want.
In libby, good luck. Everything is a tag (?) want to find your wish list? Good luck. Want to recommend a book, hahahahaha! Want to rate a book you read?
Overdrive works beautifully, easy & fun. Libby, not so much

I have stayed with MP3 for a reason! I do not take my phone to bed or gym. I want to unplug when I listen to books.

It is very nice there is not a thing you could change here is list of good book's emma and the blue genie roman diary

Books should be downloaded, so I will be reading and then lose the book! Want Overdrive back! Need to find another way to connect to my library.
