OverDrive: eBooks & audiobooks App Reviews

LOVE THIS APP! One of my all time favs, I use it all the time!

I really enjoy being able to read books on my phone without having to buy them all!

The app wont even stay open to log in. Totally worthless. Completely unusable.

I have had this app for a couple years now and love it without any problems. Unfortunately with the recent update, it crashes before I can read 1 sentence of a page! I hope this is fixed soon so I can read the library books again.

Works great. LOVE to have library access digitally. Would like if you could borrow longer or renew.

Works better than most and I use all the time

A wonderful way to speed drive time.

Not the easiest to navigate and when I go from my iPhone to iPad it always ends up erasing my library card number... However does what it should never had issues with the app crashing with audio or e reading books

The 4/20/16 Update v 3.5.4 corrected the terrible 3/20/16 update & constant crashes. OVERDRIVE now works again to download and read the ePubs I email myself from my PC.

One star is far too many!!!!! This is my fourth review but they keep getting deleted. The app, randomly, and often, restarts in a different place than when left off.

Ever since Overdrive updated I cant download books to my iPad from the library like I used to. Nothing shows up on my bookshelf anymore and I have to read through my browser. I dont like whatever changes theyve made.

Good app to connect with your area library systems. Occasionally repeats chapters but thats a slight problem.

I am not a big fan or believer of audio books, maybe because I dont commute for long enough. But I downloaded the app and have been using it. The interface and steps to download and bookmark and forward and backward seeking ... User friendly and make it a great experience to switch ad consider Audio books. I highly recommend. Yes and one more great thing, integrated with the pub library so check in and out your favorite books from your pub library has never been easier!!

As fantastic as it is to be able to borrow ebooks, this app makes the process ridiculously complicated. Too many steps to go through to borrow the book, ditto to renew it, and theres nothing more irritating than having a book expire when youre actually in the process of reading it!

I was fortunate enough to grab this app just before having eye surgery which left me supersensitive to light for many days and unable to read; even the iPad screen was like looking at the sun. I was able to link overdrive to my Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh account and borrow audiobooks. (If you belong to more than one library, you can link them all.) With nothing else to do, lying in a dim room and listening to some old favorite short stories as well as some new books I really wanted to read was awesome --- like having someone reading to you and even if you drifted off to sleep they would still be reading when you awake. My advice: get overdrive, link it to your library, and add a book or two to your bookshelf. That way if you ever need it whether due to illness or a long flight or car trip, it will be ready for you. I love its ease, functionality, and reliablity, and its free! And remember to make a donation to your public library so that benefits like this cant continue.

Easy to use!! I love it, and the updates make it even more user friendly.

I love this app! I spend a lot of time commuting so to have audio books I can listen to and not have to pay 30 bucks for is so awesome!!

By far my favorite app!! A library at my fingertips! Thank you for extending the borrowing time by a week! Love the new feature for requesting titles!

It is awesome to be able to download electronic books from librarys. Very entertaining.

My experience with Overdrive has been very positive. My only request for change would be to add more audiobooks. I am grateful for such a wonderful resource.
