★★★★★ Randy Reyes · Dec 2, 2025

[Suggestions] - Add Material 3 Expressive UI Theme. - Optimize for Android 16 devices compatibility. - Optimize app GUI for Android Tablets [Landscape Mode]. - Please add these features: offline reading, customizable font size and style, dark mode, high-contrast text, text-to-speech, tablet-friendly layout, and push notifications for top stories. Also, support personalization, bookmarks, and easy sharing. - Work with Chrome OS - Fingerprint Login - QR Scans. - Work with WearOS.

This is a 5-star app, if you can log in through your library portal. Thia is a 0-star app, if you cannot find your library in its buggy search bar. In order to log in, you have to TRY MULTIPLE TIMES to get your library shpwn. I tried 5 times and finally to see my library appeared in the result. If the app is unresponsive to your search keyword, SEARCH ZIP CODE instead. Once you logged in, this is a brilliant app.

Appreciate being able to check out zines from past issues. Only wish there were more choices of zines.

Tired of low stars user reviews. Hurr durr the app that gives me a bunch of free stuff but can't change the font hurr durr the app isn't catered to my exact needs hurr durr I can't save this or that hurr durr. THE APP IS GREAT. IT PROVIDES YOU EXACTLY WHAT IT DESCRIBES. YOU ARE GETTING FREE MAGAZINES LEGALLY. If you don't like it because you can't change the font....BYE! Leave. Stop using the app and stop crying. This is what happens when everyone gets a trophy for participating, happy?

After selecting my library, the screen is blank and there is no way to log in. App does not work.

★☆☆☆☆ Alan Swanson · Mar 7, 2024

This is a follow-up to my January review. After many back and forth emails with EBSCO technical support I have just been told that Flipster is No longer supported on older Android devices. They have now added this info to the download page on Google Play stating Android 8.0 or higher is required. I guess the others who have complained here in the reviews must be also running a lower version number. So, on my functioning tablet with only version 5.1 and no upgrade path, I am out of luck!!

★☆☆☆☆ A. Kinder · Aug 3, 2025

So fed up with this app!!! It used to be 5 star. But now it just hangs period I called my library, and it is active there but the only. Thing I can access is my shelf which has about half a dozen now outdated magazines on it period

This used to be a five-star app until magazines started disappearing: Vogue Vanity Fair Variety People GQ Bon Appétit Food Network Magazine Time The New Yorker What the hell, Flipster??? 😠
