Excellent reading

I love reading books from this app, now this app makes reading more accessible and I convenient so I can read books wherever I want to.

Fabulous

Love this app, my hands are always busy crafting and I love listening at the same time. BorrowBox is fab. Thanks.

Overall a great platform really helpful for late night boredom and no interest on opining a book.

Excellent reading

I love reading books from this app, now this app makes reading more accessible and convenient where I want to.

Love it..

Love the app and use it for audiobooks all the time. Only think I’d like is maybe some alt icons?

Excellent app

This app is used by my local library in Australia and carries many titles in audio and print. Very easy to use - can skip forward and back easily and use a sleep timer on the audio books. It’s one of the cleanest and easiest book apps to use - wish they were all like this one. (Libby I’m looking at you) Very impressed too with the amount of Australian content on offer amongst the books

Question

I was wondering why the tracks aren’t downloading they still aren’t

Hey guys I’m Quinn

Hi I’m really into the app 📱♥️I really like the app because I love to read 📚😃

Account blocked

I was in the middle of listening then all of a sudden the app logged me out and showed my account is blocked for no reason. Now I couldn’t continue listening and my loan is expiring soon.
It is a good app, but there’s an app issue. Hope they fix it.

Did not work for me

I got stuck on step 1. It could not find my library (halesowen). Tried searching for town name, council name, area name, group name. I’ll try again in future and update once it’s working for me. Selecting the library works fine in the Libby app.

An excellent service

Splendid app, but STILL no Apple CarPlay compatibility…

I love the app, and use it regularly… but despite having been told over 2 years ago that Apple CarPlay compatibility was being developed, there is still no sign of it. This is a major failing for users like myself who listen to audiobooks on long, and often boring, car journeys.
Please, please make this a priority for development asap.

Recently broken

Used BorrowBox largely successfully for many years - but recent updates have been hopeless with magazines unreadable as largely full of blank pages. Please fix it…

Great app it’s just like

So I listen to audio books a lot right so I use this app bc it works with my my local library and I can use my library card :] but I’m like waiting 10 months for the book that’s been reserved by 20 people and I get that it’s a library app it just seems silly to have to borrow things if they already have the digital copy of the recording or the ebook

Like why isn’t more like epic the app you know for schools and kids um anyways great app :D

(Emoticon spam )

:3 XD :D :] >:3 :0 >:( :( >:0 :).

Fabulous resource

I use Bbox a lot and find it very accessible

Borrow Box.

Love BorrowBox so many great books to read.😉

Not Bad

Not a bad player when compared with Audible, Spotify, BookBeat and Libro FM, just really misses a bookmark feature. Sadly let down by Argyll and Bute library’s very limited and relatively narrow choice of titles.

Great book source

I am so grateful my library have BB; and they update it all the time!

Not worth it

It’s not like borrow box is the worst most terrible thing, but when I went on there there is such a limited range that there are only what 7 books in the categories I’m interested in. Some people may be happy with it but I deleted almost as soon as I downloaded it, check for yourself but in my opinion you’re just wasting your time

Superb app

This got me back into reading! I’ve listened to so many audiobooks after not reading a book in years! Thank you for getting me back into a well loved, old hobby!
