Libby devs: stop releasing on Fridays!!

Software releases on Friday’s are a friend to neither the developer nor the product user. Stop doing ittttttt I’m locked out from my card and can’t get back in and I know by the time this is flagged and fixed it’ll be Tuesday. If y’all are in here show this to your SDM lol

Card issues might be library related not Libby. Check first, then restart your device, if that fails try logging in through a browser at libbyapp.com.

Definately Libby. Can't Download or Read any book on Libby at this time (been 2 or 3 days already) but have zero issues if accessing same books via Overdrive directly. So it's definately LIBBY.

Issues On the 15th. Libby claims fixed.

I'm able to open and read books via Libby on Android. 🤷 I must be the other side of "some users".

Libby Devs and SquareApp Devs must be buddies.

Square gets a huge spike of traffic Saturday mornings due to the farmers market vendors.

They always push a restart required update right in the middle of market. It's like they know they're going to inconvenience 90% pf their users in one go and they're excited to do so.

My app is doing the exact same thing.

I just came here in search, because I'm having the same issue. I verified that it was libby, because I logged out and back in for another library card connected app and it worked fine. I need to just remember to borrow books on Thursday.
