"This app replaces overdrive And requires Libby to search- However the functionality of OD where the user can search all libraries in the shared network is no longer possible because the only way it seems to add those shared library networks is to have a lib card."

"BORING. I thought you could read a digital copy of books but thats not the case. All the app does is lets you reserve/check out a book at your local library 😮💨😮💨"

"I`ve already enabled Reduce Motion setting, but flipping the page by tapping the sides still has an animation. The text settings menu also keeps unintentionally closing. Clunky."

"Very slow downloading magazines, sometimes I leave it until the following day. And the sorting is dreadful, why can`t I just select UK magazines so I get local content? I`m running Android 13 on a galaxy tab 8 on fast broadband. I can stream uhd on the TV; magazine downloads should be lightning fast."

"Downgrade from Overdrive: Libby was promoted as a more modern replacement for Overdrive, which is being discontinued May 2023. So far, I haven`t found anything important that Libby can do, that weren`t already features of Overdrive. It lack`s Overdrive`s feature that let`s you recommend new titles. EDIT: Libby won`t let you read your downloaded ebooks offline without an internet connection (I`ve tried this repeatedly). -1 star for this alone. A horrible replacement for Overdrive."
