OverDrive: eBooks & audiobooks App Reviews

299 add

Revolutionary

What an age we live in to be able to look at little pictures of books in our hand and sample those of interest to look inside their contents. Then to be able to read the selected items without charge and to be able to look up unknown words or concepts in a dictionary or online. Once having read enough or all of the material to be able to dispose of it without further cluttering heavily laden bookshelves. It requires discipline not to spent too much time reading electronically.

OVERDRIVE

An excellent App.

Difficult like the library itself

Hard to use, hard to navigate. Remember what you hate about the library itself? Yeah, all here.

Only Love

For somebody on the go or who doesnt like bulk, this app is perfect. It has a night reading setting, allows marking, different audio speeds for audiobooks, and so much more. I adore the app and all that it allows me to do. WONDERFUL!

LOVE IT!!!!

ABSOLUTELY love it!!!!!! I use the audio books while I drive to work. The only thing I wish they had was more of the most recent books available. Sometimes its a few months before the books I really want to read are available.

Great app

I finally can read the books I like when I have the time to read them!

Wonderful

I use the app daily. Tons of books available through the library. Reading books that would be nearly impossible to without this app.

Gets better and better

Ive been using Overdrive since it first came out and its getting better and better with each revision. The more libraries you have cards for the more selection you have. The only reason I dont give it 5 stars is that you can not search within the overdrive.com web site on your devices for books. The web site makes it SO easy now to locate titles in all of your libraries.

Disappointed

Have been using this app for 6 years now and this new version has really got me depressed. Please fix the bugs so I do have to uninstall every week!!!!!

Fantastic

Love this app!

Still not as good as it was

Recent update crashes when I open the app on my iPad. Still would like it to show the clock and battery life at the top

Fantastic

It needs work, but overall it gets the job done.

Love Love Love the audiobooks

The fact that these audiobooks can be sped up (I do 2x) and has let me consume more books in three months then I have reading additionally in the last 2 years. I have never had a single problem with this app.

Great app.

My husband, son and I all use this app. Great for listening to audio books. Thanks for fixing the bug of having to re enter the username and password every time.

So helpful!

In audiobooks, ccasionally returns to last section read instead of moving forward to next one. Easy fix, and I cant complain because Im accessing great books for free through my public library! Thanks, Overdrive!

Will be happier when its improved

Im a long time user and it has gotten better but...please make it easier to navigate.

Awesome Ap

I love to read and listen to audio books. This Ap makes downloading fast and efficient. Keeps track of where I left off without a lot of hassle.

Good concept

When this app works it is great but technically it s terrible and there is not tech support. When you lose a book halfway through because the app keeps closing, it is frustrating. When it happens three times in a row, it means the app is not a good one. Shame because library books on phone and kindle is a great idea!!!

Great App. Super user friendly.

Great way to read books from your local library.

Love this ap

I havent listen to my radio in years. Whenever Im in the car I listen to audiobooks on Overdrive that I have downloaded from my local library. I have Overdrive on my iPhone 6S Plus and my iPad Air and it works great on both devices and will also sync between the devices. You can save your login information so that you can sign in from Overdrive right into your library without rekeying the barcode info. If you dont use iTunes to download the audio books or e-books (download directly to Overdrive), you can return them whenever youre finished.
