There is a wide range of books available. I mostly use for the audiobooks as I don't have as much time as I used to for leisure reading. it is annoying that some of my most wanted books are on a long waiting list, but that is not the fault of Libby, but rather my provider. I haven't had an issue with connectivity. the platform is user-friendly. On my second book to be completed, 7 books in wait-list. Love this platform!

it's a really good app! everything that you might want do you know is available. Your reading history, when you returned. the book, holds for unavailable books that allows you to get in line so you don't have to keep coming back and see if the books available, bookmarks etc. The only problem I have with it are the tags and I am slowly learning those as well.

I have been using Libby for years and it works. As an app though, it is poorly designed and at times very confusing to get to what you're trying to find. Trying to find the next book in a series is the most frustrating part. Even when you've finished book one, they don't show you what book is next, you have to go find it. They also must not present this to the libraries either, because very often you finish a few books in a series only to realize one of the books is not available at your library
