These issues are because of a recent change made by OverDrive's web certificate provider ( learn more about their change). The OverDrive app is available for Android, Chromebooks, iOS, Fire tablets, and Windows 8/10.Īs of September 30, 2021, users on older Apple devices (Mac computers running lower than macOS 10.12.1 and iPhones/iPads running iOS 9) may have trouble using the OverDrive desktop or mobile apps. General troubleshooting can be found on the Overdrive website. Recently, updates to the app have made it even betterparticularly the option to have a hold delivered later (useful when multiple holds come available at the same time). I have been using the app for several years and always been happy with it.

A shared title page shows the book’s summary, basic details, and nearby libraries that offer the title through Libby. Libby is built by OverDrive, who also developed the classic OverDrive app. I assume that must be true for many public libraries (hence the name Libby). Sharing titles: Users can now share titles on social media or directly with friends, using the Share button found on a title’s Reading Journey and details screen. Libby is the main app for both ebook and audiobook downloads from my large, vigorous library system (Hennepin County Public Libraries, which encompasses Minneapolis). Now you can share your favorite titles with your friends!! * Will not work on a Kindle with out an Amazon account
