### ***** "Very good"
Libby is really easy app to use. If you have a library card you can use Libby
-- Phangikalin, 2024-12-02

### ****- "Love it but 1 problem…"
I love Libby and have been using it forI 2-3 years now. The only issue I have with it is why we have to wait to borrow e-books.
-- Wolfjug, 2024-11-29

### ***** "Great app"
It is heaven for book lovers. You can listen to as many books as you want - if they are available. If they are already borrowed you can put them on hold. Not only does it satisfy the book reader it is also free. I have been loving it for the past month and a half. Listened to eight books in the last month alone. It’s simply amazing.
-- @inmadcompany, 2024-11-20

### ***** "Libby is the Best"
The best app a booklover can have! Loads of books, with the convenience of a few clicks.
-- Bitterbluskye, 2024-11-13

### ***** "Libby, the library app"
Give stars. It’s a fantastic app.
-- Lindybooba, 2024-11-10

### ***** "Libby"
Easy to use. Alikriek
-- alikriek, 2024-11-04

### ****- "Recent Titles"
Libby app works very well however it would be good to have more recent/ up to date  books from popular authors available.
-- Scudlit, 2024-11-02

### ***-- "We need more"
From the KZN side, we do not have enough options. It would be nice if we would have access to as many books and audiobooks that the other provinces have. I’m finding this very limiting in its options
-- Booked94, 2024-09-30

### ***** "Mrs Loureiro"
Fabulous
-- Merle lou, 2024-09-30

### ***** "Libby"
Great app - couldn’t ask for better. Never had a problem
-- Hardida, 2024-09-06

### ***** "Libby"
Nice download now read books only in your liabary and read for lekka long but 2things you only have 14days to read and less than 6 pepole can read that book
-- Indigo shade, 2024-08-31

### ***** "Wonderful!"
Easy and user friendly with many features and great new titles!
-- Kirstjade, 2024-08-25

### ***** "A readers feast"
There are always good books available to read. A waiting list for others, managed well and notifications sent when available
-- cggrtyb, 2024-08-06

### ***-- "Satisfactory"
This is a really cool app.
 However, all the new books are not even on the app. Still waiting for notification until they are released. Which is unknown?

It’s a huge novelty which I love. But it’s annoying that there are only 2 of the most popular books available for 1000s of people…that doesn’t make sense…?

But I would definitely recommend it.
-- K33naLP, 2024-08-03

### ***** "Luv this app"
I just can’t stop reading it’s like a breath of fresh air and since I like comics and like finish them in a hour I can return books early but sometimes I still do read hard back books but if you want to save money and save space buy this app
-- skibidi_skibidi_crikey_crikey, 2024-08-01

### ***** "Huge fan"
I think this is the closest I've come to this being the best app ever! There are so many options on the app to make for a seamless library experience.
-- Michiewas, 2024-07-28
