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.

Used to love OL Reader but I Cant’t Log In

NEMillennial on

United States

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

Nesr5 on

United States

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

thirteen28 on

United States

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

mastermaj on

United States

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

greenlinnet on

United States

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

United States

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.

Helpful app

cgjbvxs on

United States

This app makes accessing and reading the Open Library collection much nicer on an iPhone and iPad. Wonderful resource and very helpful app.

Non-functional

Jipijapa on

United States

The app doesn’t work. When I select a book from my library, only a blank screen appears.

Really enjoy - Minor critiques!

Shammiewammie202 on

United States

I honestly really love OL. I read books while at work, and can actually pick them up on my phone instead of having to go to the site, so this is really nice. I only recently downloaded this so I don’t know how previous versions were, but my main thing is when you’re on single page mode you need to scroll. Normally scrolling to the next page wouldn’t be bad if it was more of a swipe up and you were on the next page, but you have to scroll and center the page yourself. It’s not bad, but kind of annoying, especially mixed with the fact the pages don’t stay centered when you have it zoomed in to fill the screen. My other thing is full screen mode. I wish I didn’t have to adjust the page size before going into full screen mode, and that when I went FS it would just automatically adjust to my screen. If someone needs text to be larger, then I understand why you need to adjust, but you should at least be able to enable / disable it.
