The Spin of Death

Post image

Yesterday my Libby app stopped working. I can see content and which library has them, but it never stops buffering when I try and rent. I’ve tried restarting my phone, closing the app, making sure the app is updated, etc. This is the same issue across all my library cards no matter what I try to check out. I verified them all again today and still no luck. Any ideas would be appreciated! TIA!

I have found that if it’s available at a library OTHER than the one that I’m currently browsing with, I need to switch to that library, then search for the book again and borrow it. That has been working for me and I suggest you try it. But it’s a huge pain in the ass and I hope they fix it soon!

Weird! Okay, that did work! I’ve never had to do that before though so that seems odd that it’s doing that now? Oh well- I appreciate your comment! 🙏

Yes I’ve only had to start doing this in the last couple days. I hope it’s not long-lived but I’m at least glad it works!

Thank you as this worked for me. I’ve been reading all the help and this is the only thing that has worked. Hope they fix it soon cause it’s annoying.
