I wouldn’t ask for anything more

A few years ago my brother was diagnosed with a brain tumor and it caused him to go blind. This app was a life changing thing for him. He LOVES to read, its his favorite thing in the entire world and when we saw this app we were so happy because this way he would have freedom of what he could read and have it read to him since he couldn’t read anymore. It was so special to see him read again, Every time I see him, he is listening to an audio book with his AirPods. I would 100% recommend this app

Latest update seems to be buggy

Some books give me a downloaded error about Max downloads per user or something and some books I’ve had trouble getting to play I get a protection notice have contacted my local library and it shouldn’t an email to NLS seems to be a system wide problem because I also cannot download using bar express on my computer I will keep an eye on this issue and see if anything comes out on the website and update my review accordingly

Latest version 2022 is broken

Does not allow searches consistently, and when trying to download a book from my wishlist, the app crashes and it won’t allow me to re-open

Annoying bug

I’ve been using this app since 2017 and haven’t run into any major issues. But recently after updating the app, it gives me this annoying alert every time I open the app. Telling me that either the login ID or password are incorrect. I click OK and I re-enter my information. I haven’t updated it since last year on all my devices so there’s no issues there. I know I’m using my current password. After I click OK, it gives me the same alert again. I can click cancel if I want, but the moment I try to either download or download a new book, it gives me that similar again. But it works just fine on my Mobile which I don’t understand. The Android version must be broken. I’d like to be able to listen to books on all my devices.
