I do a lot of audiobooks through the library while working. Currently I use overdrive but keep seeing adverts for libby. Thoughts? Opinions?

My personal preference is Overdrive. Mainly ‘cos I’m used to it!
I use overdrive. I like it ok. It’s not super user friendly (like when you go to the loans page, not all loans show up, you have to go to the bookshelf, also, some audiobooks are super slow to down load or I get errors). It usually works out.
Libby is Overdrive’s supposedly “more user friendly” version. I personally prefer the original Overdrive and don’t know why they didn’t just update it instead of making a whole new app. With Libby it will show how long wait times are. However, there is no wishlist and if you wanted to switch to Libby none of those books on the list will transfer over. Only the holds and loan list transfer. Technically, you can tag a book with “wishlist” though, but if you already have a lot on your overdrive app, it would be a lot of work to search and tag each one. Maybe I would use it if the wishlist transferred, but as of now, I prefer Overdrive and think it’s just as user friendly.
I use Libby and really like how easy it is to use.
Switched to Libby from OD, much prefer it. Easier when using multiple libraries.
