## Libby Reviews in United Kingdom

### ****- "Libby is GREAT!"
The only thing I wouldn’t recommend, is that if you want to follow a series, they seem to purposefully miss out the last one!!! It is SOO ANNOYING so that’s why this is a 4 star. Anyway, happy reading! <\3
-- Xx Lanikai xx, 2025-01-07

### ***** "Our Wives under the Sea"
Julia Armfield
-- Margo JJ, 2025-01-06

### ***** "Libby"
I love Libby I use it almost every day .😍😃
-- Kittens-11am, 2025-01-06

### ***** "Amazing service with great titles"
Thank you so much for all of your work. This is allowing me to enjoy my favourite books again. Great selection and easy to access.
-- Wanderingfran, 2025-01-06

### ****- "So close to perfection"
The app is absolutely amazing, except for three things - we can’t use custom fonts like Futura , Bradley hand , courier etc, we have no way to send book requests to the libraries and there is no list of personal recommendations based on what you read . If these features get added, the app will deserve nothing less than five stars.
-- NPCsteve971, 2025-01-04

### ***** "Libby"
Absolutely fantastic!

Unbelievably so much to choose from, could not ask for more!

Thank you
-- Terriersforever, 2025-01-03

### ***** "More audiobooks"
Each time when I cast about looking for a suitable audio book , i find all the best ones are taken.
Please can we have more audio book access
-- stripe dress, 2024-12-30

### *---- "App couldn’t find libraries in my area"
According to this app there are no public libraries near me. I’m a member of a council run library that’s 500 metres from my home but Libby couldn’t find it by location search or by name search.
-- tompers, 2024-12-30

### ***** "Libby app"
A great app that enables you to borrow books from your library while sitting in you house. Fantastic
I believe that this app should be used in schools by pupils in order to encourage reading.
-- 5858gy, 2024-12-30

### ***** "Love it"
What a great app. You might need to wait sometimes but that is no hardship.
-- BernieMcS, 2024-12-28

### *---- "General"
Too many titles are not actually available due to library not having a licence This artificially inflates the number of items that are purported to be available
-- Anfractuosity, 2024-12-28

### ****- "Excellent"
I have using the app for a long time and I love it. But it would be even better if books from my favourite author were available in the library.
-- Little shū, 2024-12-27

### ***** "FANTASTIC"
I love this app it has all the books I want to read. I also enjoy that with dyslexia it’s easier to use.
-- Amazing Izz, 2024-12-25

### ***** "this is the best goddamn library app"
i will say no more
-- yaboymythical, 2024-12-24

### ***** "Great"
Very nice books
-- Μακαρόνια, 2024-12-21

### ***** "Dependable"
I enjoy this app because it is reliable. Once I have taken a book out on loan from the library in the Libby, I can read it whenever I want to. The alternative e-book loans that require WiFi can be a nightmare of unpredictability. Give me Libby every time
-- Ruby red 58, 2024-12-21

### ***** "Reading matters"
I was recommended to Libby by a friend and have been
delighted with accessibility to my library remotely.
-- C aesar, 2024-12-20

### ***** "EmmyB"
I love this app! It’s just fantastic.
-- Big red ed, 2024-12-18

### ***** "Best app ever"
Best of the bestest
-- Bestest app ever x♾️, 2024-12-18

### ***-- "Great choice"
Fantastic choice of reading matter, despite the site being difficult to navigate especially when it comes to magazines.
-- Cazzabianca, 2024-12-18
