Was able to log in effortlessly, and nice that there is access to a multitude of magazines. However, the app leaves alot to be desired, outside of navigating and reading, it does nothing more (except "bookmark). An immediate function that is lacking is the ability to favorite magazine titles, so you dont have to look for them everytime. Stitcher is a good analog. App does its job, but leaves alot lacking, very unfortunate.

Fine for text reading. But I downloaded this for it voice-to-text ability, but it's not really ready for prime time. It can't keep track of your place when you close the app, and if you turn off the screen it stops reading (and loses your place). So you can't use it to listen to an article on a walk for example, which seems like it would be the prime use case for such a feature. So close yet so far. It would also be nice to have more than one VTT voice. Uninstalled.

Good when it works, but i have had numerous issues with the app. It keeps asking me for a login/password instead of just my library card number. I contacted the support dept and they continue to tell me to do things I've already told them I tried. My issue is that the page that should load (where you enter you library card #) after you choose your library does not appear. Instead it asks for a login/password and gives me an error message. No one can tell me what to do. Useless app and support.
