A poorly designed mess. The search function is rudimentary & the results displayed often have no sensible order. Books that I finished reading a year ago (and so have certainly expired) still show up in the "my books" tab & cannot be either read or removed. When something you had a hold on becomes available, you get no notification. Most annoying is the actual experience of reading an ebook - it constantly resizes the page & if you exit the app, it resets you to the start of the chapter. Ugh

I decided to try this app for an audio book, as my public library offers it and Libby. After I make it through the audio book I have (if the app doesn't fail catastrophically) I will go back to Libby. Simply E is simply awful. I can not recommend it. Fails to load, freezes, crashes, loses the page and starts over... it just doesn't work well. Giving it a one star review is being very generous.

Other library and reading apps come in much higher quality user experience. Something as simple as turning pages isn't handled well. Closing the app and picking back up will take you back to the beginning of the chapter instead of remembering where you left off unless you remember to place a bookmark. There is no list of previously read books, no saved search history, and no information on series of books. Libby does all of these. I really wish that one of the libraries I use didn't use this app
