User Reviews

Most reviews focus on usability problems. The top issues are authentication/login failures, weak search/discovery, and audio playback that does not remember progress. Users also frequently hit update-related problems (outdated-version messages, webview issues, download errors) and occasional data instability (borrowed lists disappearing). A minority note that the app once felt stable and that library-based audio books are a useful feature with easy browsing and a decent selection, but the current experience is largely unreliable for many users.

Pros

Historically stable before major updates (some users report reliability prior to recent changes).
Browsable catalog with a good selection (noted by at least one reviewer as easy to browse and having a decent title range).
Access to free audiobooks via public libraries (mentioned as a positive use-case by a reviewer).

Cons

Frequent login/authentication failures or being logged out (login does not work reliably).
Poor search and discovery: hard to find books, slow search, and limited multi-parameter filtering.
Audiobooks do not remember progress or bookmarks, and playback can lose position.
Update/compatibility problems: outdated-version messages, webview compatibility issues, and inability to download or open titles after updates.
Borrowed-list/history instability or data disappear (lists of borrowed books vanish or become inaccessible).

Recent reviews

Privacy threat. Connects to Facebook and potentially let's fb know what you read. Every time I click on a title it will contact Facebook and will not let me open the book unless I let it communicate with Facebook. I cannot believe that public libraries in Norway offer this app. Please librarians talk to these app developers as it is obvious that user feedback is not enough to fix the problem.

After receiving an email about the book 2 read being avaliable: On a samsung mobile:impossible to download it over WiFi. Reports failing. On ipad: possible to download the book, but opening it 2 read : not possible. About as bad as it can be. Tried 2 listen 2 another book, it function as expected.
