Ratings and Reviews
when requesting a audio book, you expect it to be in English not German. The music is very limited to mostly cladic rock not much of current bands or styles of music. Woever; i appreciate the fact that it is a free app and still provides movies and audio books. Just update your library of both music and audio books. thank you.
I'm in love with all the romantasy audiobooks!
love this app!!!
I'm always late to download the borrowing limit has been met by late morning and I can't stay up until midnight to check out books!
nice to have a book always available.
Hoopla only allows a meager number of 4 books per month. If you are browsing for titles, you are out of luck using Hoopla. Also, it' s not clear when the "month" is over and you can borrow more.
