Borrow box is brilliant, easy to use app. Download or reserve a book in minutes. You can read a book anywhere on your mobile, tablet or computer.

Great app. I use it mainly for audiobooks. Who doesn't like reading and listening for free. Obviously can't get everything you might want but still plenty to choose from.

Not too bad an app - mainly let down by lack of features making it seem outdated- e.g. no way to edit/delete books from list or ability to view/display in different ways (list or detail view), rearrange or sort lists. Same comments as in 2022 and 2024 - no way to delete or sort on My Loans/library. Again, not much point passing comments on if ignored.

My library recently switched from Press Reader which was excellent to Borrow Box which is so clunky and unintuitive in comparison. Sure, I get the same magazines but now rather than having new issues on one page, I have to scroll down a list looking for New issues. Worse still, zooming in to anything less that 100% renders the text a little blurry. So yes, Borrow Box is useable but a very poor relation to Press Reader. OK, maybe I'm being churlish as it is free, but so was Press Reader!

First reviewed in 2022 and nothing has changed. This is a pretty basic app and the worst. The speed of play is not adjustable, either 100, 75 or 125, when other speeds are needed in between. Unlike Libby, when I book on hold is available you can't suspend your hold. So when you suddenly have 4 books, you have to keep them instead of letting someone else read it knowing you will be next. You can search for books you read. Sleep timer is too small, and you have to stop it before resetting it.
