Comments on Libby, the Library App for Android

★★★★★ No ads! Free access to books and audiobooks! Supporting libraries! What's not to love?
★★★★★ I love being able to listen or read books wherever I go for free.
★★★★★ Libby makes my morning commute soo much better. I love my audiobooks.
★★★★★ Great choice as a library. More options in audiobooks needed. More options in voices for audio would be good.
★★☆☆☆ The search engine is not good at all, in terms of being user-friendly. For example, even when you search books available now, it gives you a bunch of books they don't even have ("notify me"). In general, it's hard to narrow the search, and you end up wading through dozens of irrelevant titles.
★★☆☆☆ I'm quite annoyed, to be quite honest, I live in a smaller country, and this app doesn't have my local library on the list. I really wanted to give this app a chance because I've heard great things about it, but I'm not going to go to a whole different city just to get the library card to use this app, quite upsetting. Though I do understand that my country is smaller than a lot of others. But the bigger cities in my town have their library's listed, I do hope I can use this app one day.
★★☆☆☆ I have been having playback problems since the recent update. The app freezes or doesn't load. If a notification interrupts the playing it freezes and does not resume playback. I have restarted the app and even restarted my phone, with no improvement.
