I agree. Libby is terrible. I download a book but it still skips during the playback. And that’s happened to me several times. I never had that problem with overdrive. If also takes forever to download a book.

I think the issue Katrina has is similar to mine – I’ve used the old Overdrive app which, while less flashy, is a better experience in almost every way. In Overdrive you could switch off the page turn animations (just a waste of reading time that really adds nothing for me) as well as use volume buttons to turn pages. It was also a much better experience for audio book listeners – it kept much better track of your place, and didn’t require the book be downloaded multiple times, with resets of your reading place, like Libby does. I’m actually trying to get my Library to switch apps over this. Libby is better than nothing though :).

Hello –

Thank you for your comment. I’m sorry if you have had a bad experience with the app. This was not a sponsored review in anyway. I actually started using it for personal use and decided to write about it because I didn’t realize how much this improved my personal library experience. I have had a few issues, but nothing major and I do still recommend it to others. I hope that your experience is able to get better over time.
