Description
Been using Hoopla Digital for a couple months now. It’s basically a free app that gives you access to tons of audiobooks, ebooks, comics, movies, and more using just your library card. Pretty solid if you’re into reading or watching stuff on your phone.
Here’s what you can do – there’s a big selection of content across different genres, from bestselling novels to indie comics. You can borrow stuff just like a physical library, no late fees. It’s got some cool features too like being able to listen to audiobooks on your commute or download ebooks to read offline. Took me a while to figure out how to navigate everything but it’s pretty intuitive once you get the hang of it.
Look, if you’re the kind of person who’s always looking for new books, shows, or comics to check out, you’ll probably like Hoopla. It’s not perfect – the selection can be a bit limited compared to buying stuff outright – but overall it does the job and it’s free with your library card. Worth giving it a shot.
Summary
So here's my honest take on Hoopla Digital. I've tested a bunch of ebook/audiobook apps and this one's pretty solid. The selection is great and I love that I can just use my library card to access everything for free. The app itself is well-designed and easy to navigate, even if it takes a little getting used to at first. My only real gripe is that the catalog can be a bit hit-or-miss, with some popular titles missing. But overall, it's a really convenient way to discover new books, comics, and more without having to spend a ton of money. If you're an avid reader/listener, I'd definitely recommend giving Hoopla a try.

I love this app! I love audiobooks and they're so expensive online which makes this app amazing. Rarely do I come across an audiobook with any errors or strange accents...
This app needs improvement. It's very glitchy and I don't use it unless the books I'm looking for are not available on Libby - which is a far superior app....
Very grateful to the library for the books, but... The app constantly loses my place in audiobooks and freezes. Also, it would be better if I could start it from...
