## Libby Reviews in New Zealand

### ***** "Excellent!"
So easy to use and feels good being able to return the ebook after reading it.  Saves Petrol! The ladies at our Tokoroa Library are really happy and helpful too!
-- Laurie Carroll, 2025-01-04

### ***** "Easy to use"
Easy to use, can read across multiple devices……very simple
-- pmay8, 2025-01-02

### ***** "Conveniently nice"

-- Mauricio Kimura, 2025-01-01

### ***** "Fabulous"
Easy to use website thanks
-- Wink 01, 2024-12-30

### *---- "Latest Update = Awful"
I’ve always been a big fan of the Libby app, but lately, the new update has been frustrating. When you search for books or authors, they no longer show up! Also, if you're a member of multiple libraries, the app used to show results from all of them at once. Now, you have to manually switch between libraries to see what's available, which is a hassle. Most complaints about Libby seem to be about local library issues, but this is about the app itself.
-- Hannah M-R, 2024-12-29

### ***-- "Finished?"
It says I’m finished with a book on Libby when I didn’t even read it

### ***** "Very good"
Very good beta
-- Hinakh, 2024-11-28

### ***** "Joypips"
I love Libby. I used to spend loads of money on books. Now, when I want to read a particular book I go onto Libby, order it, and when it becomes available to me, I get notified, I download it, all from the comfort of my own home. Wonderful

Such a huge range and not too far behind with new releases of my favorites! Thanks Libby!
