OverDrive: eBooks & audiobooks App Reviews

Terrible!! This was once a fairly reliable app. Went for help at the Cerritos Library and was told that I cant continue reading a book on 2 iPads so I need to carefully monitor my usage each day so I wont run out of power. Tried to borrow a book from Buena Park library and it would not load!! Very disappointing app. Wish I had the old version.

Walk and listen to books is the best

I get a ways into the audio book and it quits. Goes back to home page and wont show my book. Reinstalled the app and still wont let me hear the whole thing.

Amazing! This app changed my life. Reading is one of my favorite ways to spend my time. Before Overdrive I would run out of books to read and I would find myself somewhere where I needed a book but didnt have one. Now that doesnt happen. Since I read about a book a week, like to have more than one going, and frequently decide a book isnt worth the time to read, buying an ebook or even renting one was too expensive.

App works great with keeping your place now. BUT! You can no longer rename a bookmark in an audiobook! That was an invaluable tool for my research!! Why take off one of your best features? Fix something, screw something else up!!! Dang!

I really love this app, I read a lot so its nice to have books for free. However, Im not a fan of the fact I have to sign in every time I go onto the app. Plus Ive had it not remember my info which isnt a big deal but still annoying. I also wish there were more books available. Overall though I really love this app and use it all the time.

Ok. Now I am even more upset. I go through the trouble to write a review, then this tells me that the nickname I selected is already taken and dumps me. So now I have to completely rewrite it? When I first got this App for Library books, it was great. Now it is completely unusable for me. I am unable to download any library books at all. What happened?

Good, reliable app. Doesnt lose my place. I appreciate being able to hear a sampling of the book before downloading. Better than other apps Ive used for audible books.

I pretty much always have something checked out and its great. They were having issues with the Remember my library card feature but it seems to be fixed now

Audio crashes mid book. Twice since the last update app has crashed. After it crashes you can no longer access book.

Better than carrying books around.

I love this app! All the audiobooks, all the time.

I have a long commute so love being able to listen to audio books and use this app every day. In general its very easy to use and has a great selection. However, the new update scrambled my whole wish list that I kept in a specific order on purpose ( for series and such) and didnt even fix the bug that causes it to jump to the beginning of the file instead of the next file. Please please please put my wish list back in order!!!

Extremely convenient to use when borrowing books from the library. It is also very user friendly while reading.

Does what its supposed to do. I download books from my library, read them, and return them. Not sure what some of the negative reviews mean but Ive had no trouble using it.

To me this the best digital library app out there!

I love this app since it allows me to use my library anytime. I especially like to get audio books for my phone so I can "read" on the go.

Fantastic app, once I figured out how to use it. Best to download MP3 files (all at once) and never lose your place. I like being able to put a book on hold, then get notified that it is ready for download. I also like being able to flag a bunch of books that I would like to listen to, then scan the list later for which ones are available now.

Its getting ridiculous that with every update where you say youre fixing something, even the update 2 times ago when you said "login information is here to stay", I have to re-enter my library card numbers and passwords. It may be different if I could use a user name, but no.... Library card numbers. Please quit with that. Other apps keep login info. Why cant this one?
