Reviews of Boundless

  • So frustrating!

    I’m an avid audiobook listener and have used several different apps. This one is by far the most frustrating to use. 1. It freezes for a solid 30 seconds each and every time I open the app to use it. Grrrr! 2. Having to choose a profile every time I open the app is annoying. Who shares their app with someone else and why would they need multiple profiles??!?! I want the app to open to my profile every time WITHOUT the added clicks to get there. 3. Too many clicks required to do basic tasks. For example, if I click ‘continue’ on a book that I have previously been listening to, I then also have to click ‘play’. Why??!? That should easily be ONE click, not two. Another example, if I open my ‘holds’ or ‘wishlist’ folders, I can’t then click into a particular book profile and then hit ‘checkout’, you can only check out the book from the main hold or wishlist page. Stupid design!

    Besides the app freezing every time it is opened, there are far too many steps required to accomplish simple tasks. I really dislike this app immensely!

  • So So Glitchy

    I mostly try to avoid using this app unless a book I really want to read is available here that I can’t get through Libby or in print.
    Tonight, I spent a little over an hour reading and the app froze on me at least a dozen times. I couldn’t turn to the next page. I’d close it out and it would take a full minute for the book to reload again- often the dark mode the print wouldn’t show up or it would still be frozen and I’d have to repeat the process.
    After a couple times I thought maybe the app hadn’t updated automatically so I went to manually do it. Nope. Apparently it updated a week ago and the page turn glitch was supposed to be fixed.
    If I’m not on perfect WiFi or cell service there’s basically no chance of the book loading, even though I have cellular downloads turned on. Half the time I can’t even get to the page with all the different profiles.
    I do appreciate that occasionally I can get books with tons of holds on other apps available more quickly on Boundless but I think it’s likely because everyone hates this app so much.

We appreciate your feedback and patience as we work through this issue. We certainly want to improve your experience on Boundless as well as your star rating.

  • Last update a big leap backwards

    The April 2024 update made this app unusable. Upon tapping the app icon, it tries to open for a full 1-2 minutes, then crashes. On the 3rd or 4th attempt to open, each taking a couple minutes before crashing, it might finally open to the staring page where you pick which profile you wish to open. This is a wasted step since I only have one profile, but that would be minor if the app worked properly. Upon picking the profile, it takes another full minute or more for the profile to open, assuming the app doesn’t crash again, starting the whole process over.

    I used to use the app to listen to audiobooks with my son as I drove him to and from school, about 20 minutes each way. Now it takes nearly the whole drive just to open the app, so we don’t even bother.

    I will be lobbying my library to abandon this app as soon as possible and switch to something that works.

    Developer Response

    Dear Patron. You are right. We messed up. Adding dark mode and a few other features in the last release, caused some instability to the product. We have recently released a version with a few fixes. Could you download the latest version from the App store and try again? If it still doesn’t work, please reach out to us on boundlessfeedback@baker-taylor.com. Your feedback helps us make Boundless better.
