I love that my library connects to Hoopla and that I can download books, audiobooks, even movies on demand. 5 stars for that. Hoopla as an app is buggy. More than once, when I've prepared for a trip by downloading my book ahead of time, Hoopla says, NOT TODAY, and makes it impossible to read my book. Super frustrating. Sometimes it just starts an audiobook from the beginning, and loses the position I was at - not easy to get back to the same spot. 3 stars for the app itself.

So this app usually works well / as expected, but for longer audiobooks it inevitably will lose my place at some point halfway-ish through and restart from the beginning. This leaves me to play a fun game of "fast-forward until I figure out where I left off". I appreciate the functionality and access to free books though, so it's well worth it!

This is one of my favorite apps, i use it to listen to audiobooks while I'm at work. It uses your library card. The only issue is sometimes when i pause the audiobook for too long, it'll close it without saving my progress so i use the bookmark function frequently. There unfortunately is a limit of how many books you can borrow per month. I like that i can immediately listen to the audiobooks without waiting for a copy to be available like physical copies or like on the Libby app.
