OverDrive: eBooks & audiobooks App Reviews

Well, you fixed some things well. Now I cant remove books from my wish list that I no longer want to reserve! Also, when a chapter ends it starts it over!!! Seriously it wasnt broken until the frequent updates started.

There could be several improvements, for example: a major update deletes your file history and saved passwords for libraries. Thankfully this has been fixed. Further it would be easier to skip a few seconds forward or back instead of whole chapters and sections. This has yet to be addressed. Like other free apps there is room for improvement but in the end I will say that if is one of my most frequently used apps and it makes getting through the day much more tolerable.

Of course, its great to be able to borrow digital books via an app. Four stars for that idea. In terms of execution, however, this is a clunky old piece of junk of an app. Im guessing it dates back ten years, and barely updated since.

Does what its supposed to do. Rarely crashes or misbehaves.

Could be so much better!

I love that I can download a library book without having to drive there!

I love what this app does. Ive been listening to two books a week while I run and drive since I downloaded it. Ill admit its functions arent as intuitive as Id like, but eventually Ive figured things out (albeit sometimes on accident).

Easy to download audiobooks, ebooks. Saves a trip to the library!

Every time an update occurs, there is so much trouble with the app. The current 2016 u/d leaves me with the inability to use it for audio books on my phone. Nor is there an easy way to get help. You need to test your updates before unleashing them. Horrible update. Just realized my iPad wont download and my iPhone wont play. Good thing I got real books too. DO SOMETHING!!!! Update: so frustrated I have deleted your app. Update: it has been months and I still cant download e books

Love listening to audio books from library!!! Just takes a little while to download. Sometimes have to download twice. Probably due to wifi connection.

I am in this app everyday! I can access multiple library accounts and all of my audio and ebooks in one location.

I use this mostly on my phone and on the go so it has been great for downloading audiobooks. I tried the actual books on here and its just too small but thats what you get one a phone. My only problem is that I download too many at a time and never get through them all!

This app works well. Main problem is if you check out a book on your computer, the app doesnt update. You have to then search your checkouts on the app and add the title to your library.

Great app,,

I am new to downloading audio books, having tried in the past onto my computer without success. Even now, there are problems transferring files from Overdrive that is NOT the app---but the app removes all problems!! Easy to use, goes right onto my iPhone!! I am a believer!!!

I love that you can use more than one library and that it is used by my school district too. It makes it easy to get a variety of books to my students. It is so convenient for me to be able to download books to my phone for free. So much easier than other devices. Now if my library would just add some more of my favorites.

I listen to audio books at work, this app paired with my library is awesome. The books are free, after I got over my learning curve I now am An expert at using this app. I have never ever had 1 problem with it, no bugs or glitches absolutely flawless. This allows me the option to listen to as many books as I want for free unlike the other guys where you pay an arm and a leg and you can only listen to a certain number of books. Thank you Overdrive my work day and drive is so much more enjoyable.

I have come to appreciate reading with OverDrive on my IPadMini. I love being able to highlight a word or phrase and get either a dictionary definition or link to Wikipedia. I really miss not being able to copy a phrase or passage to put in my journal. I think the interface needs a lot of simplification to make fewer and more intuitive steps to get into my library account and download a book onto my bookshelf.

It is great. Love the many different way you can browse. Love Getting definitions of words as you are reading. Wish the dictionary could speak the pronunciation.Quick and easy to download library books. Can,t say enough good things about it.

I love this app. I download books from my library. It works great! Awesome for any book worm!!!
