Transformational
Libby has become a staple of my reading habits. For someone with ADHD, audio is a godsend. Great interface and selection.
Audio book review
Audio books are AWFUL on this app. My books constantly will randomly loose my place mid listening. Then it doesn’t remember where I was.
Excellent free book source
Timely and regular updates as to availability of books on hold. Great way to read popular, current books without expense.
I absolutely love Libby!
Libby has so many titles available in audiobook and though I’m often on a waiting list for the books I want to listen to, there is always something available to fill in the gaps. It is my favorite hobby!
Happy
I LOVE this app! I have ADHD. Listening to books on tape seems to keep my brain engaged. I can now do important things like eat and clean. So it’s a quality of life thing.
Very good library and reading app
iOS version works really well. I use with library with no problems. I have used android version, but had multiple issues, but they have seemed to be resolved. Books sync to multiple devices. A little learning curve, but once you master, it all makes sense.
Obnoxious to return kindle books
Why change it so I can’t return kindle books early from Libby? It is obnoxious now
