BorrowBox users say on Google Play
Excellent and completely free app with a library card.Some patience is needed as it operates on a queuing system for titles but always something to find that is actually available.Could we please add x0.80 and 0.90 for speed of speech of audio books?
fantastic, although would like more choice in the detective sections. and not having to wait so long for loans
I generally find the app limited, but useful. Some issues need attention. Firstly is the issue of listing books by Irish authors in the British section. Whoever is responsible for this needs to familiarize themselves with European geography. Secondly, works of American and world literature in translation are very poorly represented. Borrowbox is an Australian company, and as a consequence appears to have a Colonial mindset.
Four stars when you let me log in to two libraries at once. Still waiting for this ability about 18 months since I first asked for it.
The app is extremely basic. Shows no evidence of ongoing development. It appears to be used by libraries primarily because it is cheap rather than being fit for purpose. There is no meaningful ability to search, organise, or manage content, which makes it frustrating to use. Suggestions for improvement are acknowledged but then ignored or never acted upon. Overall, it gives the impression that there is little or no active software development team maintaining or improving the product.
