Spartan, fully sufficient, easy to use. Fully works. I wish all apps were like this. Update 11/24 -- Most recent update is significantly slower than my prior version. Here's hoping tue next update with rectify this. 11/24 -- New software update appears to have corrected the slowness after a few minutes of testing. Here's hoping this is the case, and that the Libby engineers don't succumb to the clarion call of bloatware.

I love how diverse the collection is, along with the features that make it easier to use, but I've had a recent problem where I can't get any audio book or ebook to load. It says that my internet isn't working, it is working. To fix this, I've tried to uninstall and reinstall the app, removing my library card and adding it back, etc, none of which worked. The inability to load the books defeats the purpose of the app, so I would like for this bug to be fixed as soon as possible. Thank you!

I recently had some frustration with this app. It wouldn't load and just gave me a "retry" button with the only other option to submit a help request. My expectations for tech support on any app are almost zero. Imagine my surprise when I quickly got a response with a very lengthy and detailed list of options to try and a real person to contact if that didn't work. Unheard of!!! I would give them 5 stars for that alone. But the app is fabulous. I'd give 6 stars if I could.

A fix for the issue where an audiobook would skip backward unexpectedly.
