Excellent audio player experience, you can find a wide selection of books from classics to new for free. However, the wait for a turn with popular titles can be frustrating (sometimes taking months for a turn, but their holds system is very handy). Also I can't recommend this to families because the content is as wide a real library (including the inappropriate) parents beware.

I use Libby as an accompaniment to Audible. If I love the book and would like to reread it, or the wait is too long, I will purchase it from Audible. The playback is clear, and I love the ability to increase the speed! I also appreciate the feature that allows multiple library access. Although I don't use the feature much, it's nice to be able to read magazines too. I wish it automatically bookmarked. The biggest drawback is the wait times, but it's a public library, so it's expected.

Great selection of audio books and books to rent (hard books) or virtual books. It makes listening or reading so much easier that they have such a large selection and variety of books available, vs having to purchase them. App is super easy to navigate. I opened my app this morning and all my tags are gone, just missing. I don't have an option to locate them at all, this is disappointing.
