What Our Users Say

Don't just take our word for it. Here's what our users have to say about our Android app.

"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."

Chelle

"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."

Phabien Hammond

"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."

E S

"The NY Library is doing a great service by offering books that have been banned in certain communities ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘"

Evan Blum

"App keeps crashing. Also requires an account."

Adrian K

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