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!

this app has been great so far! I love that it gives me an estimate for how long something may be on hold. I wish they had a filter for filtering out everything but the first of a series, sometimes I have to jump through a bunch of hoops just to figure out what the first book is called and whether or not it's available. it would make it so much easier if "first book only" was a filter option

generally a solid app. Bluetooth needs some work. With my Tesla I have to start playing on my phone each time. On the Telsa It usually pops up the right book but when I push play it responds with a no media error. I open the app on my pixel 6 and push play and it plays on the Tesla just fine. Other media apps work fine. they show the last thing played on the Tesla when I get in and when I push play it continues where it left off.

What's new

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