I could see books I’d already checked out, and sometimes was allowed to search for new books. The audiobooks I checked out usually played just fine. However, as of November 2025, I cannot see any of my checked out books, and I keep getting a screen that says “Unable to process your request”. I have checked for an update, and there isn’t one. I guess I’m headed back to Libby! ### 3/5 — No card details *2025-07-10, version 1.12.0* It would be good if you could have your card on here so you don’t need to carry it. Or have the option to add it to the apple wallet. ### 1/5 — It’s broken *2022-12-10, version 1.8.0* Zero stars. It simply is not functional. It shouldn’t even be in the App Store. ### 1/5 — Not a good app *2022-09-15, version 1.7.0* Terable ### 1/5 — Bad app *2022-04-08, version 1.7.0* 50 50 chance if it will work or not ### 1/5 — School made me get it *2022-02-08, version 1.5.2* It’s horrible dosent even let u go in and lags ### 1/5 — School made me get *2022-02-08, version 1.5.2* It trash ### 1/5 — school forced me to do it *2022-02-04, version 1.5.2* app is a whole L no fnaf book mid asf yb better ### 1/5 — School *2022-02-03, version 1.5.2* I was forced to download this in english ### 1/5 — So Mid *2022-02-02, version 1.5.2* This app was so mid done mf forced me to get this app ### 1/5 — App sucks *2022-02-01, version 1.5.2* L app+Ratio Downloaded app now I got AIDS ### 1/5 — Bro😭 *2022-02-01, version 1.5.2* doesn’t load sadly ### 1/5 — My opinion on this app *2022-02-01, version 1.5.2* I don’t like books ### 1/5 — Not working *2021-12-22, version 1.5.2* Cannot log in ### 1/5 — Need to improve holds, book sorting, audiobook speed *2021-11-30, version 1.5.1* No improvements have been made since my review a year ago. This app is terrible!! Seriously Follett, get your act together! 1) you can’t put items on hold via the app 2) audiobook speeds are just stupid… “Faster” and “Fastest” are inaudible 3) How can you have a searching app that doesn’t allow you to sort/filter the results?! There are three main things that need to be fixed in order for this app to be useful: 1) Holds: The patron should have the ability to put both digital and physical materials on hold. 2) Sorting/Filtering/Advanced Search: The patron should be able to organize the results by things like: newly added, popularity, genre, publication date, etc. Additionally, there is no way to do an advanced search! 3) Audiobook playback speed: The playback speeds are generically labeled “slower, normal, faster, fastest” instead of by conventional speeds that other apps use (.75/1.0/1.25/1.5/2.0). The app’s “faster” is probably a 2.0 and the “fastest” is Millennium Falcon hyperspeed. Both of those are useless listening speeds. No one can keep up with listening to those. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Wont load book title preview or more details *2025-09-15, version 1.12.0* I called tech support and they had me uninstall, check version etc. Said it was some sort of block from my school. My android app works and the iPad doesn’t. Ugh. You would think a company that deals with schools, creates ebooks can create a decent app. ### 1/5 — Couldn’t even find my school *2024-11-06, version 1.11.0* When I tried logging in, I couldn’t find my school, but my school laptop has its weird I don’t like it. ### 1/5 — This app needs an update ASAP *2024-09-24, version 1.11.0* Our children CANNOT seach books based on reading levels nor grade levels. Also, you cannot access books you saved on your "favorites" tab on the online version of this app. WHY??? Also, The favorite button does not appear on this app's tabs or near the cover. So, my kids CANNOT save any favorite books so they can check them out later. FIX THIS PROBLEM, PLEASE!!! ### 1/5 — Trash *2024-09-02* Very trash! ### 1/5 — Key features are not good *2024-02-24, version 1.10.0* As a school librarian and avid audiobook reader, I looked forward to recommending this app to over 2,000 students. I’m glad I tried it out myself first. The app signs me out without warning. When I access the app, there is nothing to show I am signed out. The speed of playback feature is ridiculously bad. The choices are normal, faster, and fastest. I frequently listen on Libby and LibroFM at speeds approaching 1.5. I know what a faster speed should sound like. Destiny Discover’s faster speed sounds like chipmunks. I am really disappointed. Please invest in improving this app. ### 1/5 — Destiny discover *2023-08-18, version 1.8.0* It’s super bad it never works and it is just terrible overall ### 1/5 — Wassup cuzzo😘 *2023-05-31, version 1.8.0* Fortnite battle pass ### 1/5 — Worst thing ever *2023-05-31, version 1.8.0* This map I had to go through security and I did my password over and over and over again but it never worked. This thing is the worst if I could I’d read it as zero but I’m not allowed to. This is the worst worst worst app I’ve ever tried to use sora is way better than this. Just don’t use this. It’s horrible. It will kill you. It’s horrible. ### 1/5 — Cannot search for school *2023-04-24, version 1.8.0* This app is so disappointing. I can’t even search for my school. I select my state and type the name exactly as it appears in Destiny, tap “Continue” and nothing happens. The web version is unstable on iPads (which our students have). Follett’s apps have always been terrible. It makes me wonder how much they care about their customers and patrons. ### 1/5 — irrelevant app *2023-02-08, version 1.8.0* mrs lehn is weird☠️☠️ ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — I have *2023-09-13* We will ### 5/5 — I have *2023-09-13* We can ### 5/5 — I have *2023-09-13* We will ### 5/5 — 5 stars! *2022-03-19, version 1.6.0* If you are using a school account, audiobooks and ebooks are available to check out and return online. Which I think is the best feature ever! ### 5/5 — Schroeder *2022-03-02, version 1.5.2* HELP IVE BEEN TAKEN HOSTAGE TO RATE 5 STARS ### 5/5 — Yes *2021-09-20, version 1.4.0* Help me there holding my phone hostage and they forded ### 5/5 — Great for our virtual students *2021-03-11, version 1.2* Bugs seem to be fixed ### 5/5 — Helpful *2021-02-03, version 1.2* Very good and helpful. ### 5/5 — Thank you!!! *2020-08-17, version 1.0* Thank you for bringing back the Destiny Discover app! It’s working great! I was able to easily and quickly open an ebook I already had checked out AND to find another one, as well as search in the print collection. Many, many thanks for getting this going again just as we’re about to return to school and needing an easy way for students to access our extensive ebook collection without having to read on a computer! ❤️👏🏻😺 ### 4/5 — Not that bad *2021-03-11, version 1.2* Idk why there are so many bad reviews I just got the app and it work just like it says it will it can get any books the school has and you can download them to the only problem is that most books are out so I have to have it one hold but they can’t control that --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
