Open Library Reader

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.

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.

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.

Great App. Hope to see a few future updates to keep it fine tuned!

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.
