I've used this app quite a bit over the last few years, and it's been great! But the recent library changes I don't like. There's books missing that used to be there and getting a whole series is like pulling teeth 😕 supposedly the merge was so we'd have more books to choose from, but it's not working out that way. It's rather disappointing, tbh.

love this app!! one suggestion.... maybe consider putting in an option to save the books you want to read and be able to go back and look at the list later. I know you can check out as many as you want, but that's often more than you can realistically read. you can also "save for later" books that your library doesn't own yet. but no options to save the books you like or might want to read in the future ***update- just realized you can save. just not sure how to find them afterwards.

I love this app. I like that when I return a book I can continue to borrow more as long as I don't have more than six at a time. I have listened to 20+ books in one month. other library apps limit you but not this one. my only complaint is that sometimes they don't offer all the books of a series or they offer some in ebook format and not audio. I am legally blind (not completely blind) and it is very difficult to read a book. it causes too much eye strain
