The other night my husband commented that one of his Overdrive audio holds came in (tagged). I looked over to see him using the old app and clunkily working on downloading. I practically gasped, “You haven‘t downloaded Libby yet!” He hadn‘t and wanted to wait until he‘d downloaded the new book. Absolutely not! I demanded his phone, downloaded Libby, set him up, and gave him a tutorial in about three minutes.
He‘s #marriedtoalibrarian.
SilversReviews I like Libby. 7y
MarriedtoMrT @SilversReviews It‘s different so it takes a minute to get used to when you first start but it is a million times more user-friendly. 7y
Caterina Wait, the old app? I thought Libby must be something different from Overdrive, because it says it doesn't have either of my public libraries? But the Overdrive app works fine. 7y

MarriedtoMrT @Caterina Hmm. That‘s really weird! It‘s the same and I‘ve heard they‘re phasing out the old one (eventually) but maybe your library has to opt in to Libby? 7y
SilversReviews @MarriedtoMrT I agree it is more user friendly. 7y
Lindy Libby isn‘t available at my library yet. 😐Meanwhile, the old Overdrive app works fine for me. 7y
Caterina Hmm, I will re-download Libby then and check back periodically. Hopefully I'll get access soon! Thanks for the info. 😊 7y
MarriedtoMrT @Lindy Interesting! I really thought (before today) they had universally switched! Good to know. I‘m glad the old app is still working just fine. ( @Caterina ) 7y
SkeletonKey Our library doesn't use it yet either 😭 7y
RadicalReader @MarriedtoMrT nothing wrong with being married to a librarian good for you to be so bookish to pass on the book wielding knowledge! 7y
