Have downgraded from a 4-star rating to a 1. So frustrating trying to use this app. Sometimes it will work fine but quite often (and with increasing regularity) will just refuse to open. My internet connection is fine, cache has been cleared (the 2 'self-help' solutions offered). Latest update is installed. Have contacted support but absolutely no response, rubbish customer service 👎

I've been using libby for a while now and I love the choice of books including the wide range offered. When my pain is bad, Listening to a book helps me so much as I become so engrossed in the story. I am on benefits and struggle to pay for audio books but I am saving to be able to pay towards this app as its fantastic. It's so simple to use and always remembers where you left off so my hands free in the car starts almost immediately with one push of a button. I can highly recommend it.

This has been so helpful to have. I struggle with reading (learning difficulties) and have limited use of one hand which makes holding books uncomfortable, so I tried audiobooks. Libby lets me have multiple library cards on one app so I can find the audiobooks I want and have them on my phone wherever I go. There can be a waiting time as libraries having limited copies for borrowing, but the app itself isn't difficult to use. It can take a few attempts to download a book, but no other issues.
