Requires quite frequent (multiple times a session) closing and reopening to get it moving again. This is annoying! ### 4/5 — Hoopla is good. *2026-08-23, version 4.68.1* It’s very good, but the user interface could use some work. Search is less effective than I want it to be; showed me results in Chinese sometimes. That’s very random. However, it’s got some wonderful content and I like it very much. ### 5/5 — Greatest!! *2026-08-22, version 4.68.1* Excellent selections!! My favorite everyday! ### 4/5 — Free through the library so good with some search issues *2026-08-22, version 4.68.1* Love the chance to access more content then just my library. However, the search only does keywords in the title. You can’t narrow by genre and subgenre as well as concept. The suggestions are good if you have narrow tastes otherwise it can be hard to find the content you like. And the books take 30 seconds longer to open then in kindle - no opening up to the page you were on for a quick 1 minute reading break, half the time is lost opening it. But access to more free content is always good. ### 5/5 — Emma M Lion *2026-08-22, version 4.68.1* I’m enjoying Hoopla very much and am excited to hear morewonderful stories! ### 5/5 — A gift to avid readers *2026-08-22, version 4.68.1* I love hoopla and I’m thankful it allows me to sign out so many books, watch documentary about topics. I’m interested in, and for all the audio options. ### 5/5 — Hoopla *2026-08-22, version 4.68.1* I love hoopla it has been very helpful for reading I think it is very helpful I recommended for people with reading disorders because the audiobooks are fabulous. I love listening. ### 4/5 — It’s pretty average *2026-08-22, version 4.68.1* I like this, I don’t use it as much as I should. I love the music selection and audio books,, I don’t like the fact that it’s hard to find a a certain book by title but when u look up the author, u find a thousand copies of the same thing. Not complaining that much ig,, I also love the free downloads for flights, except when I turn off my phone and listen to music, it glitched a lot but when it’s on in a did app it plays perfectly fine?? ### 5/5 — Bones *2026-08-22, version 4.68.1* Was a good book. Kept my interest in the series. Seemed to long in parts. ### 5/5 — Love it *2026-08-22, version 4.68.1* Goof way to borrow from library ### 5/5 — Content across the genres *2026-08-22, version 4.68.1* From ebooks to audiobooks to music and movies— find it on the Hoopla app—a gift from your local library and your local, state, and federal budgets and generous neighbors who love literacy and the freedom to read and explore the ideas of humanity through multi media formats. ### 5/5 — BE ABLE TO SEE CHAPTERS *2026-08-22, version 4.68.1* I love HOOPLA and all of the categories it offers. The thing I dislike about the app is that when an audiobook is downloaded it does not let you see how many chapters it has. Is that a choice or up to the library who offer this service? It would be great if chapters for this app would be added. That way people could see how chapters there are or be able to go back to the chapter they need or want. ### 5/5 — Love it! *2026-08-22, version 4.68.1* It’s great! Fast and quick and easy to use. ### 5/5 — Love it!! *2026-08-22, version 4.68.1* Love this so much! ### 5/5 — It’s great *2026-08-22, version 4.68.1* It’s a great service ### 5/5 — Pls read *2026-08-22* Hoopla is such an incredible app. I’ve been using it now for at least 2yrs and it is a must get. No ads, no payment any book you want and they’ll have it-graphic novels, novels, audiobooks, ebooks name it they’ll have it. The books are never on loan always able to get and I love it. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2026-08-22, version 4.68.1* I downloaded this app for the variety of books my Libby app doesn’t have. Great love that aspect. But when I go to borrow a book or an Audio book it tells me I have reached my daily limit of borrowed books and I don’t even have 1. Go to check my Hoopla and it says I still have 18 borrows for the month?! Why won’t it let me borrow a book ever?!? Very frustrating and ended up deleting it due that ### 1/5 — Book Daily Limit *2026-08-22, version 4.68.1* The daily limit is frustrating. I get this message way too often. ### 1/5 — Refuses to login *2026-08-20, version 4.68.1* “Something went wrong! “. Pretty much all the app says or does now. Used to work fine. ### 1/5 — Unable To Access Hoopla *2026-08-20, version 4.68.1* Because Sure: To Create An Apple or An Amazon Account With E-Books and Movies. I Would Abandon any Hope for Anyone with a New Library Card to Have Any Access through Such a System. Pretty Much you would have to pay for anything that works properly. ### 1/5 — Can’t even resume, it always restarts from beginning *2026-08-19, version 4.68.1* The app won’t resume, just starts the beginning again ### 1/5 — Im disappointed *2026-08-18, version 4.68.1* Now this pisses me off when you add books you should add the entire series as I got back into Percy Jackson and was reading Heroes of Olympus but only book one was there in audio when you add a book add the entire series as ### 1/5 — Let to die *2026-08-16, version 4.68.1* Just another attempt to sound like an original story which failed miserably. Even the narrator with horrible French accent made painful. I kept hoping for a better plot but alas it did not ### 1/5 — Have to keep uninstalling *2026-08-16, version 4.68.1* When streaming, this app works great, but downloading titles is a pain. I have to uninstall and reinstall the app almost every time I want to download music. Very frustrating. ### 1/5 — 👎🏼 *2026-08-15, version 4.68.1* Audiobooks randomly don’t work ### 1/5 — Used to work *2026-08-14, version 4.68.1* Hoopla worked fine for years. Since the recent updates, it does not work and refuses the library information that is correct. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Hazel’s heart *2026-08-23, version 4.68.1* I thought it was a good I’m glad I watched it even though it was a sad movie and made me cry at the end. ### 5/5 — Great app! *2026-08-23, version 4.68.1* Easy to set up and use. ### 5/5 — Easy to use *2026-08-23, version 4.68.1* This is such a great app and so easy to use.

I bookmark my page and it always resets to the first page of the first chapter that I’ve never bookmarked --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
