User Reviews

BorrowBox is widely praised for its easy interface, broad library titles available for free, and strong audio features with reliable cross-device syncing. The major drawbacks are login/access problems reported by multiple users, stability and opening issues after updates, and titles becoming unavailable or requiring advance notifications. Overall, it’s a solid, library-based reading app with content variety and portability, but with reliability and availability caveats.

Pros

Easy to use and navigate.
Large, diverse catalog of books and audiobooks, many available for free via libraries.
Excellent audio experience with quality narrators and sound effects, great for driving or listening before bed.
Syncs reading progress across devices and keeps your place.
Convenient access to library titles from anywhere, without needing to visit a physical library.

Cons

Login/access problems reported by multiple users (e.g., being locked out or unable to log in).
Stability/opening issues after updates: the app won’t open and may require reinstall or have limited launches, sometimes needing WiFi to start.
Titles can become unavailable or require waiting; users want notifications about titles leaving soon.

I adore this app. I use it both on my phone and my Android ereader, and I really love how it syncs across my devices and allows me to read a ton of books I'd otherwise probably not read for free. The singular "issue" I have is that unlike some other reading apps I use, the ebooks aren't compatible with the page turn buttons on my device. It's hardly necessary but would make the reading experience on that device a bit more seamless.

linking with your local library is a great idea and I use this app all the time. Thank you for this! Long live the library in its physical and online forms x The app would be better if the audio books were arranged in chapters that mirrored the audio book or the app could search for words/phrases in the audio book. I'm sure that's an expensive addition but I'd be happy to pay a few quid for that feature. Hopefully the owners get this as there's no feedback option in the app itself ;-)
