This app is amazing for streaming audiobooks and listening or reading offline too. My only complaint is that it launches whenever my Bluetooth connects or disconnects, even if the app is closed. There's nothing like having coworkers climb in the car and the steamy romance scene from the morning commute picks up right where it left off. The app didn't even have the decency to launch itself so I could close it easily or quickly. No, I had to wait until the app loaded before I could turn it off.

Very annoying app. 😒 I loved the overdrive app. I had absolutely no issues with it. This app drives me insane! It kicks me off at least 3 or 4x daily and sometimes more. It will also start me completely over to the beginning of the chapter or start me way ahead skipping chapters that i haven't read yet. It instantly starts in my car which I hate. Please get this issue fixed. I'm not really sure when it started. It's very frustrating. 😑

The app says it will open open in kindle, but so far, does not work. The app doesn't stay on your current page. Also, I really wish that while reading fiction, there was a filter that contained an option for lbgtq. If someone is for that, great, but I don't need it shoved in my face for every book and show I choose to watch!! I can't get away from it! Ridiculous
