I love this app! I have a long commute to work, so the audiobooks are great. I absolutely HATE it that they're going to stop supporting it and force everyone to use their inferior product, Libby.
★★★★★
Updated. At least it works now. This is a very good app of its kind. Made for checking out e-books & audiobooks from your public library. Only downside is the developers want to kill it, for some reason. They are constantly suggesting Libby, but Libby just plain doesn't work as well as Overdrive.
★★☆☆☆
Can't connect my Kindle. I don't like that there are so few customizations in the ereader. I don't like being locked into using the app for downloaded books when I have an ereader I much prefer.
★★☆☆☆
NO MIGRATION AT ALL TO NEW LIBBY APP. JUST LAZY COMPANY CEO'S!!!!!
★★☆☆☆
Was very excited to see an update for this application but... it's still discontinued, and we're forced to use clunky, glitch ridden, Libby. Libby is horrible.
★★☆☆☆
