Read trusted reviews from application customers

Really? NY Public Library has only 46 non-fiction books?? My search for books on Psychology returned a mere 10 books - 4 after eliminating duplicate entries. Categories are incredibly limited. App needs major work to be of any use. Uninstalling.

App pauses audiobook within 10 seconds of phone locking instead of playing in background. Makes the entire NYPL collection useless.

Tejas Naik

Could not get past age verification.

Convergence Companies

Doesn't have hardly any of the books that it says it does and there's no real way to filter your searches. It doesn't save anything either. Really needs some better updates and changes to make it more user friendly.

Great

Book Farm

Audiobooks will only play for 30 minutes or so at a time before crashing and the app never remembers where you left off.

Rachel Dugan

Read banned books to know who banned them.

The NY Library is doing a great service by offering books that have been banned in certain communities 👏👏

Evan Blum

App keeps crashing. Also requires an account.

Adrian K

Crashes a lot. Loses your ebooks and audio books from your collection.
