5/5 for this app existing and allowing us to check out audiobooks from the library. Improvements: let us start a book from the beginning when we're done. It's impossible without manually scrolling. The user interface is unintuitive and does not follow a typical organization structure; it takes a lot of clicking around to get what I want done. Please allow searching and holding at multiple libraries at the same time, and allow us to make new audiobook suggestions to our library.

Really works well. I like that it works with my library to check out ebooks and digital magazines. No problems with it and very easy to use. I'm adding the following 6 years after the above review: this app still works flawlessly, I've never had an issue with it. It is wonderful to have access to so much reading material by simply having a library card. I wish there were more than 5 stars to give Libby in this review.

The app is convoluted and confusing. There's no flow so it's hard to know where you are in the app or how to get to what you want. Searching for audiobooks is tedious, requiring constant forward and back navigating. Even though you filter for audiobooks only, the app is constantly pushing ebooks. 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.
