CloudLibrary by Bibliotheca for Positive User Reviews
✓ Brilliant but could be betterI love Cloud Library and I would hate to have to do without it. However some it it’s features are not I feel as good as they could be. The bookmark system is often erratic. When I click on my last bookmark I am usually taken to the previous page I bookmarked meaning I have to go searching for the correct page. Also sometimes when I turn a a page it jumps forward about ten pages. Further the ‘Saved’ page often tells me I have nothing saved when I always have about twenty. Minor irritations I know but irritations nevertheless..Version: 5.9.0
✓ Doesn’t store library card details!This should be a great idea but I’m having to enter the full number of my library card every time I want to log in. I thought the idea was to make my plastic card obsolete or am I doing something wrong?.Version: 5.3.2
✓ Not user friendlyWhen it works it’s good, but it has a habit of closing down suddenly, or the app not closing at all so you have to completely close the iPad, re-start, put in library number etc. Frustrating. Sometimes it loads with empty pages. In one word it is buggy and needs to be updated to address these issues..Version: 4.0.67
✓ Too bright for night - No more brightness control in appReader used to have an in app brightness control in addition to iPhone general brightness. This was great for dimming the text while reading before sleep. Now that feature has been removed and text is too bright for nighttime reading before sleep..Version: 5.0.5
✓ Walking booksI listen to books while I walk. Not especially happy to exercise, but I want to listen to the next chapter, so I walk. Before I know it, 30 minutes is gone and my walk is over. I never thought I would like to “listen” to books being read, but love it now. I can sew or cook and still listen. Love holding a book until I used this app. Being able to adjust the font size and having it lit up makes it so easy to read at night in bed. No more heavy books on my lap. Best of all the books are FREE from the library. Some books may not be available right away, but placing a book on hold is easy. It doesn’t take long before the book is available. I always suggest the app to friends in hopes they will enjoy it as much as I do..Version: 5.4.1
✓ Freeze at every chapter!!!Keep freezing!!! Had to kick it out then re-opened the app Froze every pages! Also Need: “speak”; “underline”.Version: 5.9.4
✓ App not user friendlyUnable to search or go back after book has been downloaded on my iPad. There are no menu options. Inability to change font size etc. not receiving notifications when book requests are available. It’s not as good as other platforms..Version: 5.3.2
✓ Unable to accessSince a recent update I have found I am unable to access the cloud library Every time I try I have to give the country and state I am in also the town Then I have to supply my library number and pin I have been unable to access the library and was part way through a book There have been updates in the past and they have not caused this problem so what is happening now Also I am unable to contact anyone or know how to fix this.Version: 5.9.3
✓ Very usefulClearly lots of different reactions but I’m using an iPad Air 2 and it works well. I couldn’t find Audio Books but found I needed to search just for ‘Audio’ and it only shows books available, nothing about books already out on loan..Version: 3.6.25
✓ UnreliableI have deleted this app as it is unreliable, continually crashing. I have to delete and reinstate all my details - at least 5 times now. I am going to contact my library and ask them to change from this app..Version: 5.0.7
✓ No audiobooksThe selection of books is great, some audiobooks would be nice though. My only complaint is that often the number of days left on a hold changes randomly both up and down. This is really annoying when you’re looking forward to a particular book and then you find out you have to wait another three weeks at least. Apart from that it’s all good..Version: 4.5.18
✓ Not working since updateI just can’t get it to work since the update. So frustrating. I have emailed them as there is obviously a problem with my password..Version: 5.0.8
✓ UnreliableA decent enough reading app but it’s wildly unreliable. Recent updates actually took away functionality that I was using - like the ability to lock rotation. Why on earth would you take that away? Also the Library Message section now always had an exclamation point/notification, even though there aren’t any library messages. Also the fun new thing it started doing with the last update is not returning to the last page you were on and instead returning to the beginning of the chapter you’re on. Every now and again, it un-downloads my books, won’t actually return or renew items after I tap on the option to do so. It’s buggy and I really wish the library I paid taxes to used Libby bc that app isn’t nearly this unreliable..Version: 5.0.4
✓ Lockdown readingThe e- library has kept me sane during this dark period in our history. Getting lost in a good book has been my way of coping. Looking forward to a time when we can once again take a paperback and sit in the park, thank you for keeping me entertained..Version: 5.0.13
✓ Great, but…Great app. Just one annoying bug to report (on iOS). Since updating to the latest version of the Cloud Library app some months ago, if I close the app and reopen it a while later, it bounces me back to the start of the chapter I was reading, so I might have to swipe through 30 pages trying to find where I was up to. Not the end of the world but frustrating enough to report..Version: 5.9.2
✓ Was great, but now getting worseI love how easy it is to search and borrow books from my library and save titles for later. However, as time goes on the app gets more and more glitchy and works less consistently. Most times it says I don’t have any saved titles though I know I do. Occasionally, my list will actually show up. I have no “history” despite having borrowed dozens of books. And if I don’t lock my screen orientation and I accidentally tip it (from portrait to landscape then back to portrait) I will have lost my place in the chapter and I have to figure out where I was. Or sometimes my scrolling will jump me to the next chapter. It’s getting very frustrating to use this app, which is unfortunate because it used to work better. Please do something to make it work more consistently! Also, I don’t know if this has to do with the app, or how a book is created for it, but I recently borrowed an audio book (it was the only available format for that title) and it had no chapter markings. I would have liked to be able to jump back and listen to certain sections again, but I couldn’t find a way to do that..Version: 5.6.1
✓ Skipping pages.Sometimes it skips several pages and page will freeze. Had to shut down my IPad to restart again. How do I resolve this?.Version: 5.9.5
✓ RiverI think this app is great. It lets me read all the books I want from home. It is so simple and easy..Version: 5.9.3
✓ Bugs need fixingWorked well to start off with, but now the app keeps turning itself off and when I reopen it, I’ve lost my place in the book so it takes me a while to find it again..Version: 3.7.2
✓ Great AppThis app is amazing. You just need to update it more often to get it to stop crashing. It has amazing books and is easy to read. Overall this app is amazing and I use it all the time. I would rate it higher if it had a higher range of books, because if there is a book I want to read, it might not always be on the app which is irritating. But this app is lovely overall..Version: 3.7.2
✓ SO Frustrating!I was so disappointed when our library chose this app to offer its members. It was not user friendly, was unwieldy and no where near as enjoyable read as Libby, the previously used app. But lately this app has gotten to be so awful it’s almost to the point of me giving up. 2 out of every 3 books I download ends with an “error in downloading” and I don’t even get the book I had been waitlisted for. Sometimes the pages won’t turn or they turn but return to the same page over and over. I’m trying to read a book now where every time I get to one particular page the app just shuts down. I’ve tried powering down and reopening and sometimes that helps, other times it makes no difference. I read 2-5 books a week so to not be able to use this app is highly frustrating..Version: 4.3.7
✓ The rising tideVery convenient and the service was immediate however was a little disappointed I couldn’t adjust the font on my iPad to be larger this could also be because it is older iPad..Version: 5.9.0
✓ ImprovedThis app is much better but still not comparable with other library apps. Selection of books quite limited and there is no opportunity to renew. However it now works as it should without constant glitches and is easily navigated.Version: 5.0.6
✓ Best way to listen to books!Love that there are so many titles for the recorded books. Just need a few new releases quicker..Version: 5.9.3
✓ Very temperamental and frustratingThis app has got even worse since I started using it over a year ago. I now have to uninstall and reinstall it every time I download a new book. It does at least give free access to library books when so many libraries are reducing hours, but I do wish someone would make this app more reliable, PLEASE!.Version: 4.1.28
✓ Island of the Blue Dolphins, by Scott O’DellI teach English Language Arts to students in the 4th grade of life. The reading theme, this lesson series, just happens to be about survival. O’Dell’s award winning novel of the coming from school age to a strong resilient young lady, “Kranna;”that was left on an island off the Santa Barbara coast of California to fend for herself is incredible! This Is truly a realistic nonfiction account that has my public charter students, in their own urban insular enthralled in reading a book. Sharing that if we can survive like Kranna nothing can stop us. CBS, 60 minutes, grants my class a text to text (media) reading comprehension connection. Finally what’s your island of spirit animals? My wife’s would be giraffes, she loves them. Mine are whales. Whenever I’m taking a certification test or something I close my eyes for a second and explain the question to the whale in his habitat, the ocean, the amusement peers when the orca reply’s “what’s a question?”.Version: 5.8.3
✓ Love it!Great.Version: 5.9.7
✓ ExcellentHow wonderful it is to access the public library’s ebooks from the comfort of one’s home. This app has never crashed or done anything amiss. It has the features you need for reading, different size fonts, sepia and black background options and a ‘look up’ option for dictionary and Wikipedia definitions. All in all a very good app..Version: 3.7.2
✓ I am reading again!This app has helped me read books again. For a few years now I have been so busy and cannot find time to read. With this app I can! Now I download audio books (for free) to listen to while I drive in the car or in my headphones when I walk or if I am waiting at the doctor or for a meeting or out walking. This is great, because I have books on my mobile device that I always carry- I always have books with me. I also download books to just read on my mobil device and I don’t have to worry about late fees. My elderly mom who was an avid reader but has had eye problems of late is now able to “read” again too, because of the audio books. All this takes is a library card. So simple. The only downside is sometimes the audio versions of a book I want are not available, so I have to get the digital one and I have to stare at a screen to read & that I cannot do while I drive, workout or walk. More audio versions would be nice if possible, please!.Version: 3.6.25
✓ Very FrustratingI have now lost count of the number of times that I have had to delete app and reinstall - losing my history - after failing to turn the page. It scrolls forward, just only onto the same page..Version: 4.1.28
✓ Way to mark books read?Love this app. Would be awesome to have a way to mark that I’ve read a book. That possible?.Version: 5.9.4
✓ Can’t open app since last updateI can’t load this app since the last update. I also previously experienced the same issue as other users in that the app often got stuck on the last page and just wouldn’t move forward. However as above I now can’t use it at all!.Version: 4.5.18
✓ Loss of functionsThe app has been made worse by the latest release. Page curl and rotation lock functions have been removed. Bookmark is less distinct and page numbering is displayed more faintly. All in all this does nothing to improve the user experience.Version: 5.0.2
✓ Cloud library reviewCloud library is a great resource but unfortunately too many ebook searches for titles and authors result in the response that the item being not listed. In addition, books that are in the collection, are often not available for a long time in the future..Version: 5.9.0
✓ Identity by Nora RobertsI love the library app. I have read at least 100 books over the 5 or 6 years that I have been using this app. The new way of finding that a book you have on hold is now available..Version: 5.9.6
✓ Cloud libraryThe app is great and I love how it has an option of different books topics and genres but The downside is when it automatically goes the wrong pager.Version: 5.8.0
✓ CloudLibraryFantastic range of audiobooks. Would be better if a sleep timer feature was included in the app for audiobooks..Version: 5.6.0
✓ Great AppI’m someone who struggles with anxiety so going places is difficult, including the library so having this as an option really helps, I don't even have to leave home. App is a little bit buggy when turning pages, you’ll have to open and close the book to get it to work, but that’s so minor Great app, recommended to friends.Version: 5.9.6
✓ How to return titles earlyThis app works quite well for me. One annoying thing is that I cannot see a way to return a title early if I have finished it. Otherwise I would have given this app 5 stars.Version: 5.9.1
✓ Pretty greatGreat app but with some books it takes a few times to open to read..Version: 3.5.13
✓ Scrolling & pagesI too have used this app for years and have been very pleased with its ease of use. That is until the latest version came out. It no longer has pages listed, only chapters, the bookmark doesn’t take you to the exact spot in the chapter, there is no option to choose side “tap” vs. “scroll” when moving forward or backward. “Tap” now takes you to the next chapter or back to the previous chapter. To make matters worse, the last three times I opened Cloud Library it immediately shut down. I guess that solves the other problems because they never come into play anymore! My pet peeve with “enhancements” to perfectly working apps is that they are never a user’s choice, just a developer’s whim. I’ll probably move to Libby or one of the other apps. Bummer!.Version: 5.0.6
✓ “An error has occurred”Was enjoying the app greatly until I renewed the book I was reading, now each time I try and read it says there’s been a problem registering my device for reading. None of the two options it presents to you work, nor does logging out and back in again, so I’m not sure what to do now..Version: 5.0.12
✓ Love it!Love the fact that I don’t have to go to the library to borrow books! This is particularly good, since I have mobility issues. Spoilt for choice using this app - can read all the latest novels, and rarely have to wait! Well done, and thank you!.Version: 3.7.2
✓ Latest Update DO NOT UPDATEMy C/L just updated on my iPad Pro and It is the pits. I have been trying to find help And nothing. It is as if they are avoiding me. And they should be - it doesn’t scroll, change pages, have page numbers at the bottom, have a scroll bar at the bottom - all the things I liked about the program. It scrolls endlessly down and you have no idea of where you are or what page you are on and the it seems to jump around and you have to hunt to find where you were. My wife was going nuts. I finally went too an older iPad that is too old to be upgraded, thank the gods, and it is back to the older app. It is great. Exactly what the app should be, before they started messing with it. It was such a great app. Please roll everything back..Version: 5.0.6
✓ Thank you times a million!My old car had a CD player. I checked out audiobooks from the library all the time for long commutes and visits to friends in other states. After a while, I noticed my options were dwindling. When I got a new car, it didn’t have a CD player. I freaked out and bought a portable one so I could listen to my audiobooks. Then, I learned about Cloud Library. It’s amazing!! The selections are endless, including new releases. I just check out and download a book through the app on my phone, and it plays in my car! I don’t have to worry about changing CDs or remembering where I left off. It’s all right here on my phone! Sometimes I even listen when I’m not driving. Listening to audio books allows me to double or even triple the number of books I consume. The fact that I can listen for free with my library card is amazing. I’m so so grateful for Cloud Library and for all my local Columbia County (Florida) library branches and the wonderful people who work in them. (Special shoutout to the Ft. White branch. That place feels like home when I walk in.).Version: 5.9.3
✓ App suggestion..I love being able to access my library virtually when I can’t physically! Absolutely brilliant for that. Minor thing, could we please have a “remove from device” button for a book you’re not ready to return but can’t have on phone due to phone space?? Ta..Version: 5.3.2
✓ Great app, big problem.I’ve rated this app as 4 stars. It is a great app, especially as I’m linked to he Melbourne City library with a huge range of books available. Most of the app is great. However I give it only 2-3 each time I return to my book. It usually logs me into a blank page and I cannot see where I am up to with out closing the book and reopening it. Frustrating. I also have an issue with page turns at times. It too easily skips much of a chapter and starts a new one. I’ve had the frustration of seeming plot errors, only to find I’ve missed many pages in a chapter. My other issue is that I cannot find a way to contact the company responsible, either in the app or online. So the above is my feedback - I’d prefer to give it privately. Looking forward to updating my revie to a solid 5 stars when these issues are fixed..Version: 5.8.3
✓ Cloud Library in lockdownI only read paper books until lockdown prevented me from visiting the library. Then I discovered Cloud Library and it has been a joy. I have been able to feed my addiction for novels, mainly Crime to my heart’s content. Totally wonderful..Version: 5.0.5
✓ Good but not easyDelighted to be able to borrow e books. Would like it to be easier to find books by an author. I do have difficulty going back to my books to return when I have finished a book. EVentually manage it but app not user friendly..Version: 3.7.2
✓ ThoughtsIt would be nice books would be available sooner. Particularly, nonfiction. Many of the books, particularly the technical nonfiction books are in smaller print which is more difficult to read, particularly for an older person. I really like to read the books on electronic devices because the print can be increased in size, back lighted, listened to as well as read and displayed on a TV screen that is really excellent when you want to exercise on an stationary bike or elliptical. The ability to read, listen and copy specific memorable phrases or sentences help enable the memorization of certain facts. I would like to see an approach with the cloud reader similar to the samples offered in the Kindle software. I usually same a book on the Kindle and then download it using the Cloud Library. I can’t afford to pay for all of the Kindle versions or I would probably do that. Anyway, I love the Cloud Library and think that the Auburn Library does an excellent job of selecting newer books. Appreciate much. Regards, Terry Johnson.Version: 5.4.1
✓ Love this AppHave been using this app for a while now. Highly recommend it!.Version: 5.9.7
✓ ConvenientConvenient to read from your phone.Version: 5.3.1
✓ Best library ereader, but ...V4.5.18 (August 2019?] seems to be vastly improved. I've just realised it's been a while since I hated it, so I've increased my rating from 3 to 4 stars. It's now my favourite ereader, but it's still clunky at times. I had many gripes when I first started using this app, but only minor ones now. There is NO DIRECT SUPPORT option within this app. Help requests are directed to your local library, which is near pointless if you want to report a bug. This might be why it's so buggy. If you want to report bugs, try the contact page of the bibliotheca website. Page syncing across devices is still hit and miss. It's fairly reliable if you close the book on one device and then wait a few seconds before closing the app before opening it on another device. It's worth leaving a bookmark before closing it too. It's the only library ebook app I know of that directly supports copying of text, and you can also highlight text and add notes. Tapping and holding to select text, oddly, often doesn’t work on particular words, especially italic text, and often parts of some words are unselectable. The workaround is to select another word, then drag the selection limits, using the odd but precise crosshairs thing that pops up if you start dragging quickly enough.Version: 4.5.18
✓ Good AppOverall, this is a great app. It is a fantastic resource in these times of the pandemic. As a free library reader, it solidly does the job. I do find it frustrating when features are taken away in a way that removes the option to use it the way it was before. Tying the brightness to the device brightness probably sounded like a good idea. However, now the lowest setting is at least 5 times brighter than I used to use (low system beightness combined with low app brightneds). It would be better if when the developers change a feature, they need to add a setting to allow the old functionality. How about a prompt or setting that says ‘Would you like to tie the brightness to the screen brightness?’. Then, if I say yes, fine. If I say no, let me use the original functionality which was working fine for me..Version: 5.0.4
✓ Pretty goodI absolutely loved this app and would have given it five stars until about a month ago. I would try to borrow a book, but it would either say “error” or load for so long that I would just quit trying. And by the way, it’s not that I already had three books and hit my max, but I had ZERO books already checked out. And if I managed to get a book to download into my library, it would just be loading forever until I made it stop. So I tried deleting the app and redownloading, but when I opened it I had to go through the login process again. I put in my language, country, state, and library, hit next… the terms and conditions came up as a blank page, with no next button or anything. I have been trying and trying to even login, but that’s kinda hard to do when you can’t get past terms and conditions..Version: 5.9.1
✓ Needs a go back buttonI love this app, but sometimes when listening o an audio book I will accidentally fast forward to an other chapter. I wish there was a go back function..Version: 5.9.7
✓ App glitchesOne of my absolute favourite apps during the pandemic, thank you! However for the last month or so, the app keeps crashing randomly or doesn’t bookmark the audiobook properly where I stop listening (missing by a chapter usually). Please fix! Otherwise a very grateful app user 😊.Version: 5.0.8
✓ In principle it’s goodBeing able to borrow and read stored books is fine but there seems to be a current problem - there’s the cumbersome ritual of the program constantly going back to the main screen when you try to open a book in “My books”..Version: 3.5.13
✓ Great, but frequently glitchy.I love the vast selection of books and seeing some of my favorite series on here, however I constantly have issues with this app crashing immediately on launch, not letting me borrow books due to system errors, and it not keeping the proper page when reading. I often find that if I leave a book and come back, even for a short second, it will lose my page and move to the beginning of the chapter(sometimes even doing so when I accidentally tilt my phone to landscape mode) and sometimes it will skip pages when I try to turn them, moving to the next chapter instead. However, this app is a great system that has a good variety of books, and once they work past these errors, you will have an app on your hands that competes well with any e reader programs..Version: 5.0.11
✓ Good, but...So, I don’t usually write reviews, but this is bothering me a bit. CloudLibrary is a great app, it’s free (yay!😌), and easy to use. There are a few glitches that have occurred recently, like where when I first download the book and start reading, the first few pages are normal, but then the pages after them are blank. Luckily, if you click out of the book, and click back in, it works. There’s another glitch where some books only have the option to suggest and save for later. It made me very disappointed when this happened with a book I had really been looking forward to reading. Please fix, if possible! 🙃✌🏻 EDIT: For some reason, it’s now working, sooo...🤷🏻♀️ Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t. Otherwise, this is a great app!👍🏻.Version: 5.0.13
✓ Fantastic resourceI used to be a regular reader of books from our local library, so was delighted to find this online version. Easy to use - great to be able to pick up at the same place on different devices. the only downside is that often a series of books is incomplete, and no way to request missing volumes..Version: 5.3.0
✓ UpdateMay 2021 Just updated and they still haven’t fixed the page numbers!!! That being said- I still use the app to read every single day. Have been using it for years and reading amazing books for free! Just please fix the page numbers!!!, April 2021 New update made the pages all wrong - fix that! There still is no lock for the screen orientation and I really miss that. As for the basics, I can borrow books for free. There are tons of choices in all sorts of genres. What more could you want! Sept. 12 There’s been another update. There’s still no screen rotation lock, which I used ALL the time. You still can’t see how many pages are left in your chapter. Summer: I’ve been using this app for many years. I’ve had no problems with this app until now. I’m very disappointed with this update. They’ve removed the feature where you can lock the screen rotation while reading. Every time I open the app and my book, I have to find the page where I left off despite having bookmarked the page. The indicator that I have a new message never goes away no matter how many times I open it and read the only message there from 9 months ago. I gave this update one star since giving zero isn’t an option. FIX THIS!.Version: 5.1.0
✓ My Time With Cloud libraryI have immensely enjoyed using Cloud Library. It helps me pass the time when I have things to do during which I am able to listen to something interesting- e.g. while driving, cleaning house, working on art, exercising, etc. While there are many titles, I would like to see many more. I enjoy mystery series, but often find that you do not offer the earliest installments. I don’t start a series halfway through, say, with book 5 out of 10. I also like biographies, but I am dismayed that there is not a balance between those about persons on the left and right of the societal mindsets. The bios about the more conservative persons are quite lacking, and those are the ones we hear the least about in ‘popular’ media. I would have more books to choose from if these suggestions were met with such books..Version: 5.9.4
✓ Broken garbageApparently it’s totally down right now.....Version: 4.7.12
✓ Good selectionCloud has a good selection of authors. I’ve enjoyed reading some of my favourites and some that are new to me. My only complaint is this irritating little box that keeps popping up offering to take me to a page where I supposedly stopped before. Over and over, interrupting my reading..Version: 5.0.6
✓ E-book ScepticMy first experience of leisure reading on a tablet and am enjoying it against a longtime cynicism of the medium. I don’t think it will totally replace paper and printer’s ink for me but Cloud Library is opening up access to titles that would otherwise be difficult to obtain in print..Version: 5.0.13
✓ Amazing and reliableLegit one of the best apps for audio books ever! You can get almost every book from all authors and they also have such a wide variety of books and specific genres too. There are times we’re very single book is on hold for some reason but it goes away in a few days. 10/10 app would highly recommend been a favourite for years!.Version: 5.8.1
✓ Gough and meThis book is well worth the read and although it is a biography, it also highlights the achievements of one of my favourite politicians of all time. The story of the authors life, interspersed with the achievements of Gough and Margaret Whitlam as well as the Labour Party in general is a reminder of the importance of leading your best life and working to achieve social justice through action..Version: 5.6.1
✓ Life changing!Its amazing but has a few problems. One, it’s very slow and takes a long time to load. And two, it never goes back onto the page you left it on, it goes onto the start of the chapter or book but other than that I love it!.Version: 5.0.5
✓ Suddenly an issueI've been using Cloud Library (mostly) happily on my iPads for years. Whenever I stop reading to go to another app or for whatever reason,I always bookmark the page. Suddenly, with the book I'm currently reading, every single time I return to a blank page that never loads. I must force-close the app and open it anew every time. A time-consuming and major annoyance every time. Please resolve this issue. I have also frequently encounter a situation where, when trying to go to the next page, I've been take MANY pages forward and must find my way back to where I should be..Version: 5.9.4
✓ E booksI love love love the convenience of these books. Especially now that I can increase the font sizes. It’s my way forward. THANK YOU so much for this efficient system..Version: 5.9.0
✓ New app change to BOOKMARKS is terrible!I would have given thus app a 5-star rating BEFORE the recent major update. My biggest complaint is about a feature I use constantly - bookmarks. They no longer appear at the top of the page unless you tap the center of the page first. Why that extra step??? Now if I go back a few pages to look something up, I can’t just easily navigate back to the bookmarked page. I have to tap in the center of every single page. So stupid. Even worse, when you tap on e page it frequently advances forward or backwards and you can’t tell where you are since there are no bookmarks anymore. And when I open the book I have no idea if I’m on the right page or not because I don’t see my bookmark. You used to be able to simply tap the top right corner to place a bookmark, and now you have to go through the extra step of tapping in the center and then tapping on top, and then, instead of being rewarded for your effort by a bookmark showing up, you still have to keep tapping the center to see it. And it just makes the icon black so it isn’t even an obvious bookmark like before. Please make it the way it used to be where you can just tap ONE TIME in the upper right corner, and then leave the darn bookmark there so we know it’s there!!! People who actually read books regularly on this app are the only ones who should be allowed to mess around with it. I also want the brightness adjustment within the app..Version: 5.0.6
✓ Is the server down?I’m having trouble logging in, keep getting a ‘failure to authenticate account’ message. Didn’t think I’d be as hurt to lose a library app😅. Would really appreciate any updates. Thanks..Version: 5.9.6
✓ Wonderful application!Easy to use and compatible with Apple devices and if using an IPad to read a book and then you are out with IPhone, it will remember where you left off on IPad to resume reading book on IPhone..Version: 5.9.5
✓ GreatI have found that the cloud library has always been able to provide books for me even though I. Have had to wait occasionally let’s hope it goes from strength to strength as years go by..Version: 5.0.5
✓ App’s great, the only issue is that sorting by ‘date added’ doesn’t work properlyApp works well, reading experience nice and smooth. The only issue I’ve encountered is that sorting by date added doesn’t actually show you the most recently added books. E.g. I can see that the number of books in a category has increased, and that there are new books in there when I scroll through by release date which weren’t there a few days ago, but when I sort by date added the ones at the top were added weeks or months ago. Also I couldn’t find anywhere in the app to raise a bug report.Version: 4.7.12
✓ Not overly impressed.Not greatly impressed with 4.2 I have found it randomly changes font size on me and on a couple of occasions it has jumped entire chapters when turning a page..Version: 5.0.8
✓ Great choicesI’m never without a book I have read so many more different stories, I really love having this convenient access to the lihrsfy.Version: 5.9.2
✓ BooksCloud library is so good because you don’t have to go to the library and you can just read books that aren’t in your bookshelf on your own device and return them when you’ve finished reading them!.Version: 5.9.2
✓ Love itIt’s really good app and easy to use. The only problem that I can think of is that I can’t find how turn on the clock display while reading the book if that’s the option. The page number and how much left in the book is very useful, but it would be better with the clock display as well..Version: 5.3.2
✓ Too much loading😑It is a game where there aren’t all books that you search for in this game and it takes a lot of time to load😫.Version: 5.0.6
✓ Great app! Feature request?Overall, this is a terrific app for accessing electronic resources (I use it primarily for audiobooks) available from my local library. Even works well remembering where I left off across multiple devices. Kudos on the app, mostly. Couple of things. Possibly feature requests? 1) Please add to the sleep timer on audio books an ‘End of Chapter’ option. It’s nice to leave off at a chapter rather than just a specific amount of time. As it stands now I have to dive into the chapter list and figure out how much time is left in the chapter and then try and peg it just right at the right time in the sleep timer to be approximately at chapter end. To the end user, there is no reason I shouldn’t also have an end of chapter option. 2) How about a bug report / feature request button in the app itself. There is no way that I can find to report bugs or request enhancements except by writing a review. Plenty of FAQs and the like, but if I can’t find it there, then no other way to communicate with development team that I can tell. Thank you!.Version: 5.9.3
✓ This app is great but their is a bugThis app is amazing but their is a problem and it won’t let me look at the books I have borrowed this have ‘s only just appeared today please may you fix this and also when I logged out it would not let me back in the date is the 4th of may 2020.Version: 4.7.12
✓ A Book For Every InterestWhatever you would like to do, learn a new skill, explore a foreign land, solve a mystery, laugh until you cry, Cloud Library has a book for you. A great resource right at your fingertips anytime you like..Version: 5.9.3
✓ Cloud libraryThe new version of cloudLibrary put up some weeks ago is awful. You can never get back to the page you’re reading. The screen sometimes appears in small print with a different background color than that with what you are normally reading. And finally when you swipe to turn pages sometimes you canMove an unknown number of pages and you have to search to get back to the location you were reading. Most irritating. A considerable dis-improvement from the previous version. Furthermore I read books off-line. I don’t see the need to be irradiated with radio frequency radiation while reading a book. Once downloaded I want the book to be readable off-line with all of the reader features working..Version: 5.0.6
✓ Glitches in new update are driving me crazyI have been using this app for the past year or so and loving it! Especially during Covid when our library has been closed. But a new update just came out which had a lot of promise. But it’s been glitchy and it’s driving me crazy! I’ll be reading or listening to a book and it interrupts me with “we’ve book marked where you left off, want to go there?” I say “no” because obviously I’m reading or listening where I want to be. But today it kept interrupting and giving me this same message over and over. Also, it switches between “scroll” mode and “flip/turn pages” mode on its own while i’m reading and then freezes. I have to close the app altogether and reload in order for it to correct. Then it does it again a bit later. Please developers correct these glitches!.Version: 5.0.6
✓ Latest version very unstableLatest version 5.0.10 will not stay open and has deleted all the books I was currently reading as well as card details and history. Can’t get it to stay open long enough to try to rectify..Version: 5.0.10
✓ Wonderful Ebook appThis app was specifically designed for libraries at no charge to them or library patrons unlike Kjndle/Amazon which does charge libraries for the use of that app. This helps to reduce the cost of ebooks to public libraries enabling them to purchase more hard copy books and ebooks. No, I am not a librarian, just a huge book lover who reads anything of interest and have done so for many, many years. I have found this app very easy to use and I am 71 yes. old who still reads actual books but large print books in libraries do not include a large selection due to their higher cost. This app allows me to read new books via my tablet and still allows me to check out hard copy books, too. Unlike Overdrive, there is a far greater selection of books available through this app which I, for one, really appreciate! Thank you, 3M, for creating this app for our public libraries!.Version: 3.5.13
✓ Better than you might thinkPerhaps the app has been updated since the reviews I can see were written. I have an iPad and the app seems to work really well. I can search by genre or author - although you do have to get the exact spelling of something specific you search for. Having said that, there are times when it seems to be asleep and not respond to selections, but that usually passes after a few seconds. All in all I find it pretty useful..Version: 3.7.2
✓ Great!Easy to link to my Library Card, heaps of great books, able to change text size easily, page saves automatically!.Version: 5.8.1
✓ Handy, and improvedI employ this app often as I am passionate about audiobooks. I listen to one to three books a week. Availability of books is dependent on the library of course but I do like the ease in bookmarking books while listening. I have learned how to program my preferences in browsing and have them remembered-note: you have to hit “star” icon. This app used to be a little buggy but it has improved dramatically. I do like that there are no extra steps between borrowing and downloading books. I can find out that a book is available to download and just immediately download the book, I don’t have to go to the web based account to connect a loan to the app (which is required by another app). There is a drawback to this app in adjusting listening location mid chapter but this is a pretty minimal issue. Glad to be able to use this app through my library..Version: 3.6.25
✓ A thousand shipsBrilliant read . Shows how women though not in the field of battle physically were still in a battle with losing husbands and children being sacrificed BUT survived and if they didn’t remained dignified no matter what they had to endure or face 👍👍🏽.Version: 5.3.2
✓ Has been goodBeen using this app a while now and it’s been good up until the last couple of books I’ve read. Everyone I go in to read my book again it’s blank and I have to shut down the app to and open the book from scratch to get it to come back. Getting a bit frustrating..Version: 5.9.4
✓ Sleep timerShould make a sleep timer that ends at the end of the track other then that very good and wide range of books to choose from.Version: 5.9.5
✓ Charmed SoulsExcellent book.Version: 5.9.7
✓ An excellent resourceIt’s great to still be able to borrow books from the library in these difficult times. I wish there were more availability as some books have long waiting lists but I’m still grateful for the chance to read some excellent books in this format. The chance to renew a book would be useful but I can see the difficulty in needing it for the next person. However, it does make it slightly frustrating if one hasn’t quite finished the book. Maybe there could be a three day window of extension at the end of the period of borrowing as there is at the start..Version: 5.0.11
✓ Glitches need sortingGreat app when it works but lots of glitches lately; crashes, doesn’t keep listed books you've already got on loan so you need to search for them again to then find said book is actually labelled as ‘on loan’. Latest problem was a crash and when I reloaded the app all my books on loan were lost and I have to wait for them to become available again..Version: 4.7.11
✓ CrashesUsed to be fine but latest updates keep crashing..Version: 5.0.7
✓ GlitchesFrustrating app. I frequently turn the page to find (like the previous reviewer) that it is the same page again. However the most frustrating thing is that sometimes when I open the book it has gone back to the first page of the chapter that I am reading and every time I try to turn the page it looks as if it’s turning but it’s still on the same page. In order to get it to work properly I have to delete the app and re-load it. I will be complaining to my library about it..Version: 4.0.67
