My library recently switched from Libby to BorrowBox and I don't like the app as much. it feels a little clunky and it's harder to find something I want to read. Also, with Libby you can search by keyword or topic to find appropriate books, but this doesn't work with BorrowBox. Edit: they also send you an email every time you borrow or return a book and you can't turn that off. I don't need an email to tell me about something I just did.

Love it. Fantastic UI and worth getting a library card for. An amazing way to benefit from your local library. A lot of UK libraries seem to be using Borrowbox now so ebooks audiobooks and many magazines and newspapers free at your fingertips. Selection might vary depending on your library but a brilliant resource for free and you can use it on more than one device so I get the magazines/ebooks on my larger tablet as easier to read and audiobooks on my smaller phone.

I'm a recent user and I'm enjoying listening to books instead of reading. There's lots to try without risk, if you start a book and you decide it's not for you, just return it and choose another. The loan periods are good and allow you to loan more than one book so, you can mix up the genres. My only annoyance is that some books aren't available in audio format or to loan as publishers don't allow an audio version. unfair for those with sight issues. Great App, Try it.

Hi Jan, thank you for your review! Your library authority has their own individual BorrowBox collection, which they select from our extensive catalogue of titles. I would recommend contacting your library to let them know that there is a title you would like to see added to BorrowBox.
