It crashes every time

I used to love this app. But for a few weeks now I havent been able to read a book, because the app crashes as soon as one tries to open a book from the bookshelf. And I am still waiting for an update to fix this problem!

Best app ever !!

Everything is perfect! I love it ! Just wish, German libraries would join the app

Excellent

So nice to have a library at your fingertips. Some interface issues and a few more text/background features would be nice for better reading customization (softer grey background with white text would be nicer than the current white text on black background)

Wont load after update

This version is horrible. It wont even load. It keeps saying retry!

Worth it if you like reading.

Do yourself a favour and get a library card

Font Size Problem

I love this app and have used it extensively to borrow and read ebooks from my library. However, I have had to return several books lately because the books font is tiny and cant be enlarged in the Overdrive reader. The last update said the problem has been fixed, but it hasnt. This issue has been outstanding for some time now. Because of it I can only give the app three stars.

Oops

Whatever changes were made, books seems not to load in timely fashion and every chapter change hangs so long you just give up

Love this App

I love this app!

Overdrive media console

Some text so small you would need a magnifying glass to be able to read it even after changing iOS 10 settings font size and and adjusting it within the app.

Taking forever

I am having a terrible time opening books. They take forever to load even just going from one chapter to the next. Not worth using the app. It used to be my favorite.

Perfect for book lovers

I love being able to access my librarys electronic resources and take them with me wherever I go. Ive never had any issues with the app — only with having too much to read and too little time!

Overdrive

Worst app ever !!! Is there no one to fix your numerous problems ????????? FIX THE FONT PROBLEM !! omg ..how annoying ..... Enough already !!,

Why can I no longer Name Bookmarks

When I first started using Overdrive I could name bookmarks. It was a great way to mark places where characters were introduced or other information that is nice to be able to refer back to while reading. Please bring this feature back!!!!

Must Have App!

Fabulous must have app! Works perfectly & easy to use. Love how the app syncs automatically between iPad & iPhone, you can read or listen to your book while commuting, then pick up where you left off on your iPad at home. It is like carrying your hometown library with you everywhere you go. Downloaded on my iPhone & iPad, I have used continuously now for about 4 years and would not be without it!!!!!

Love it!

Love Toronto library! Love this app. Some improvements are need it to make the user experience better. Such as share the content on multiple devices & the ability to return the downloaded book on the website.

Font size broken

The font size in reading a book is recently broken on iPad. The size is so small that it is unusable! Trying to change font size only affect chapter titles and headings not the text body.

Good spp

This is a fairly good app. It is the only way to borrow ebooks from libraries where I live. The new version is much improved. I would recommend it to others.

Great app

We travel a great deal and I love having books to read and audiobooks to listen to when we are traveling 10 hours a day. Its great that the number of holds has been increased. The only reason I give this app a four is because I have changed devices twice and both times I was not able to download my books on the new device.

Works properly

I would recommend

Great for audiobooks!

I use this app to get free, legal audiobooks for listening during my commute to/from work. The app works very well and provides great quality clear sound, especially when I bluetooth my phone into the car stereo. There is even an autoplay feature whereby my car will automatically pick-up the active novel where I left-off once I start the vehicle. I have now been through several books and each set of files has been solid with no glitches. This is a great app that allows you to listen to a large library of titles while simultaneously supporting the authors and your local library... definitely a win-win scenario!
