When listening to audiobooks, there’s no way of knowing (that I can see) how many hours I you are into the book or how long you have left. If this was added it would make the app experience much nicer! -- PompeyStudent, 2024-01-13 ### ***** "Excellent customer support and good audiobook selection." I listen to a lot of audiobooks and like that uLIBRARY often has the full series of books available (eg, Wallender, Ann Cleeves, etc). I recently contacted customer support over a problem with the app and the next morning, received a courteous and helpful reply explaining that the problem was being fixed by the developers. The following day I was emailed instructions on how to reinstall the app, which worked perfectly. I think it’s a great library service. -- helen m smith, 2023-06-17 ### ***-- "Latest version has fixed the update that broke the app!" Update: took a few days, but the app does seem to have been fixed. I did appreciate that when the app first went down, I was able to contact the developer via email using the “send feedback” option within the app’s “More” menu, and not only got an email reply in 24hrs to say they were working on the problem, but then also a further email to notify me when the app had been updated with fixes, as well as details of how to apply those updates to the app on my phone. Thank you for the individual response - I know that’s not a given. And it’s otherwise been a good app - basic in some respects (eg. doesn’t show how long each chapter is in the chapter list of audiobooks - would help me estimate where to rewind to next day, after I’ve fallen asleep listening!) but easy to use, including to browse and search the catalogue, and to reserve or borrow items. Thanks for the continued development work - I’ll definitely continue using it :-) *** Worked fine until the latest update a few days ago - can’t listen to anything for more than a couple of minutes now, before the app shuts itself down…. You only get to borrow the audio/ebooks for a few days, so this is cutting into valuable listening time! Any chance you could roll back to the previous version while you fix the fixes? Happy to re-review once this gets sorted as it was basically a decent app before if a bit limited (eg. no durations given in chapter lists). -- Bothered enough to write, 2023-06-15 ### ***-- "Good with some problems" So good to be able to access free audio books. Slightly clunky app as mentioned. I had downloaded a book but it kept stopping and so deleted app and reinstalling. Hoping to fix problem. -- Icenae, 2023-06-12 ### ***-- "Worst of all the library apps" Constantly freezes. Returns process is quite ridiculous -- She1y, 2023-06-10 ### *---- "Unusable with latest ‘fixes’" This app is sub par compared to others on a basic level. Audio Books frequently don’t download, the return button disappears and the search comes up with no results when I’m aware the author and/or books are in the library. There also seems to be no facility to add books to a wish list for future loans. It’s now unusable with the latest update. I listen to an audiobook for 5 to 10 minutes then silence and the app has thrown me out. I have to open it, choose the audio book and press play only to get another 5 minutes. -- Myrtle's mummy, 2023-06-09 ### ***-- "Nice enough app, but a bit clunky in places. And buggy." This is quite a nice app that gives me access to my public library’s selection of audio-books. In general it’s OK, and does mainly what it needs to do, but it’s distinctly clunky in places. In particular the search facility needs some serious attention, as does the method of reading through the the list of search results. I understand from the developers that this is in the process of being re-designed, so I won’t go into detail here. With such design issues one would not expect things to change quickly, though change they must. However, the authors have shown themselves able and willing to fix bugs, as the most recent releases have demonstrated. -- Baldbeardie, 2022-11-26 ### ***** "Very highly recommended free service!" I cannot speak highly enough of uLIBRARY. I would be absolutely lost without it.. there are so many audiobooks to choose from, I regularly listen to one a week and am a very happy user of this free, top quality service. The customer support is absolutely superb, they have always got back to me immediately and sorted any issues. I cannot emphasise enough how brilliant uLIBRARY is, I am always telling my friends about it, I cannot believe that people still pay for audio books which you can just get free on uLIBRARY! It is a million times easier to use than Libby or Dropbox. Give it a go, I would be lost without it.. it is easy to use, accessible, free, an excellent way to get free top quality audio books on your phone or iPad. -- KerryLow, 2022-09-13 ### **--- "Could be better" Okay so it is limited at the moment but I found it has a lot of missing books fro other apps I use. My big bugbear if you don't have internet it won't load even if you have fully downloaded the books. -- 1298mjl, 2022-09-01 ### ***** "Great audiobook app" This app is easy to use. You can download and listen to multiple books, search titles and authors. It also suggests titles and keeps a history of books. Free audiobooks. What’s not to like? -- KEW avid reader, 2022-08-17 ### ***** "A fantastic service" I’ve been using uLIBRARY for sometime now It works seamlessly and is so easy to use. I can usually/always get the audiobooks I want without having to go into a virtual queue and they have some cracking titles. Perhaps listeners aren’t as aware of uLIBRARY as they are of Audible or Libby. Give it a go. It’s free with your library and and it’s well stocked I had a minor issue a few days ago when I book ended unexpectedly. As it clearly wasn’t the actual end I contacted their customer service…easy to do…and within a day they were back to me having identified the issue and fixed it. Even better, a couple of days later they followed up to see if I was a happy listener. I was and am. Give them a go!! -- lincsDi, 2022-06-14 ### ***** "Brilliant customer service" I was having trouble accessing the titles and with my personal details and the customer service agents resolved all my problems within a day. The range of titles on the app has much improved as well, so 5 stars from me! -- LizSm05, 2022-05-27 ### *---- "Not working" I’ve installed app but it will not let me sign in. My password and user name works perfectly on BorrowBox so it must be this app. -- joank14, 2022-05-23 ### ***-- "Blank Screen" I’ve been using this app for several years and it’s not without its issues. Now when I open it, I’m faced with a blank screen. I’ve tried reloading it but the problem continues. -- Clos D'Yvigne, 2022-05-21 ### ***** "Great app" Discovered the app during lockdown and it’s a great way to listen to audio books. -- TurkeyLegs76, 2022-02-16 ### ***** "Works effectively" I have been using the uLibrary app for a while and found it easy to use and the variety is good (saved lots of money too as my local UK library is connected to it). eAudiobooks are great for people who want to get on an do other tasks whilst being read to. Readers are good and there are some top authors on the lists. Recently I had a technical problem and had to contact the help desk. I was pretty surprised and pleased to have a response and a solution within a day. Human beings at the end of an email who care! -- Eponak, 2022-02-14 ### ***** "Brilliant" Great selection of books. Customer service excellent. Would recommend this library app -- j2g9h4, 2022-02-08 ### ***** "Love this app" Use this app use it all the time, especially whilst cooking. Multitasking at its best. -- Malbec64, 2022-02-02 ### *---- "Kenf" Frustrating I only installed to listen to library books It works fine then if I use any other sound app podcast radio etc on my iPhone XS Max with fully updated software when I return to the app which just has one book I get a black screen then have to delete and reinstall. Ok so it’s a library book so no cost but I would be put out to say the least if I had paid for it -- Mho4, 2022-01-24 ### *---- "Waste of time" Found a flyer for this app in my local library was dubious about downloading because of sooo many negative reviews but wanted to listen to some audiobooks and the county the library I got flyer from isn’t even on the list, an absolute joke of an app has this many negative reviews it should be removed from the App Store and they need to stop wasting paper making flyers -- Sirmiles1979, 2021-10-31 [View all uLIBRARY reviews and detailed analytics on AppTail](https://apptail.io/account/signup?utm_campaign=ai-crawl&utm_content=reviews) ## uLIBRARY Store Rankings | Chart | Country | Category | Rank | |-------|---------|----------|------| | Top Free | New Zealand | Books | #35 | | Top Free | Australia | Books | #37 | | Top Free | United Kingdom | Books | #111 | ## Apps Similar to uLIBRARY -
