User Reviews

Open Library offers a vast, free catalog especially valuable for researchers, but the Android app is frequently unreliable, with login/token issues and a non-native webview experience that can feel cluttered and slow.
Pros
  • Huge, free collection of books, including many older titles.
  • Free-to-view documents and books make it valuable for researchers.
  • Widely regarded as a favorite library and generally pleasant to use when functioning.
  • Especially useful for genealogy/history researchers with many free resources.
  • Has shown noticeable improvement over the last year.
Cons
  • App often doesn't work or fails to open.
  • Login/token syncing issues between web and app; borrowed books may not be accessible in the app.
  • Not a native app; effectively a webview of the website, leading to slower, sometimes unreliable performance.
  • Cluttered UI and poor optimization on small screens.

LOVE the idea behind this app, but after logging into my account it completely froze 😭 I tried several times to open it but was only met with a black screen.
