Crashes when opened
This app crashes when I open it, doesn’t continue pass the opening screen
Description
Open Library is an online library with millions of books to browse or check out. You can track the books that you're reading, want to read, etc. and read many of them right there.
This app is one reader's effort to create the ideal portable experience for taking advantage of Open Library's amazing collection.
You'll get the best experience out of this app on an iPad, but you can use it on a smaller screen (if you don't mind squinting).
The moment you open the app and log in, any books you've already saved on the Open Library site are laid out on your screen. You can sort them by title, author, publication date, and date saved, see which books are available to read, and open them with a single tap.
Once you've opened a book in the familiar reading interface, a tap at the top of the screen will trigger the full screen mode, removing every distraction and expanding the book pages to the limits of your screen for the perfect reading experience.
Other features include:
- Built-in search: find and add books to your shelves from inside the app.
- Shelf management: move books between shelves, remove books, change the edition of a book.
- Related title search: choose a book on your shelf and quickly find more books like it.
- Checkout tracking: see at a glance how long you have left on limited-access books you've checked out.
- Customization: choose which shelves you want to see and manage the size of the books and their titles.
This app is essentially an alternative interface to the Open Library site — all of your data is stored there, and the books you read are hosted online, not in the app. As a result, an active internet connection is required when you are using this app.
Open Library is an initiative of the Internet Archive, a 501(c)(3) non-profit, building a digital library of Internet sites and other cultural artifacts in digital form. The developer of this app has no legal or contractual relationship with Open Library or the Internet Archive, and bears no responsibility for the content found there.

Open Library Reader Reviews
Very good until the last few weeks.
It was very good until recently when it began to log me out of the app all the time and doesn’t sync with the data on my laptop. If I have a bookmark on my laptop or have added a book to my ‘reading list’, it won’t show any of that on the app and I have to manually refind the book and try and find my page again.
Lets me read car manuals for free
Got to read about how cars work, no need to buy mechanics manual from Amazon etc, + the varieties is very wide and u can get books even from 70s-80s. not a lot of books u can get of original car model for free. Looked everywhere and this app is an amazing encounter.. thanks.
Used to love OL Reader but I Cant’t Log In
I used OL Reader fine for so long but one day it logged me out and I haven’t been able to log back in. Please help! Thanks.
No lists & too small
This app doesn’t show any of the lists I’ve created on my Open Library account, and there’s no zoom option. The text is too small to read without difficulty. Full-page mode doesn’t solve the problem. It’s easier to use Open Library on the phone’s browser.
Can’t get Past login screen
I had previously signed up for Open Library on the web using my Google credentials. When I try to use these same credentials to login to the app, it keeps telling me I have the wrong password, and there is no “sign in with Google” option. So with no apparent workaround I am stuck at the login screen and thus the app is useless to me.
Would Love To See More Updates QOL Improvements
Great App. Hope to see a few future updates to keep it fine tuned!
Can’t login
The app won’t let me sign in through google. I already have an OL account and I can sign in through a web browser but not through the app.
Grateful for app but loading is inconsistent
I love using Open Library and have found many old, out-of-print books my library system no longer carries. For that I’m grateful. However, when I load a book, open it with Reader, and magnify the page using the controls, the view of the page is often cut in half so only half the text is displayed. Very disappointing when this happens, and it does happen frequently.
Almost Unusable
Zooming in to read easier is impossible. And forget about scrolling from one page to another; it’ll just start jumping from random page to random page. I’d rather just use the website than this headache of an app.
