The app is convoluted and confusing. May buttons are hidden or unlabeled. There's no flow so it's hard to know where you are in the app or how to get to what you want. It tries to be cute more than functional. Searching for audiobooks is tedious, requiring constant Forward and back navigating. Search results won't allow you to filter out books you've already listened to. Books in a series are only partially identified. The app is never improved or updated.

This app is pretty good, only issues are that it's strictly online, so it's impossible to use without WiFi. Second issue is that once it's expired, it disappears completely. I was listening to a story once and it expired. I had to reopen the app and it wasn't there. I didn't even get a notification. Thankfully I was able to borrow it again and it still kept the spot!! Highly recommended 😁😁

Was a great app, but the last few updates have made it insanely slow to load on start. Then once it does load up it takes 30-60 seconds to load a book file up to where you can read it. The other issue is it does not always totally download the file of the book, which creates problem when you try to turn the page, but nope it didn't finish, though it states it completed the file download. Then it is a back and forth of trying again to get the complete file on your device.
