App Profile: Boundless

Rating: 5/5

This app has a lot of hate reviews, and honestly, I don’t get it. Does it freeze? Yes. Is it slightly aggravating? Yes. Do I still not get why there are profiles? Yes. But does it have tons of books, for a way shorter wait than apps like Libby? YES. I love Libby, but having this app? Suddenly, I have so many books at my fingertips! My favorite part about it is that you can download the books to read offline. So helpful on road trips and in places with bad service/internet. My main issue is the freezes. I am waiting to open my library screen? Freeze! Waiting for my profile to load? Freeze! (I’m feeling kind of like a book obsessed penguin, guys.) I also do not like the way the margined of the page are so big, but I can deal with it. But overall, the app is wonderful, easy to use, and just a great addition to your app library on your phone! (I can’t believe more people don’t use this app!)

I used to like it a lot more now it takes a really long time to load and then an even longer time to open my profile -I’ve read the Help and it says that you can download the book and read it even if you’re off-line, but that has never worked for me I go to launch a book that I’ve subscribed to that I don’t have taken out checked out. Downloaded it still have to launch the Program wait for it to load which can take 30 to 2 minutes and then I have to get to my member. Takes a minute and a minute and a half, and then I can click on the book in my library in and then the book may start, but it does not seem like they fixed any of the bugs. I don’t understand off-line where I can read something cause that’s never worked for me. Just seems to be very slow and not optimized for users. I don’t know what it’s optimized for it, but it certainly is a seamless and you know powerfully useful implementation of what they’re trying to do I’m on iOS on the latest version and I’m on the latest version of this app but I really wish I could just download the books and listen to them on like any other app in the world because this is just torture

This app is so frustrating! It stops playing for no apparent reason, and I can’t get it to play again without first closing the app and reopening it. Unfortunately, half the time it starts the book all over again, and I have no idea where I was, so I have to spend time slowly advancing the book to the point where I think I was. If I pause the book with my earbuds, it’s a toss up whether it will start to play again using my earbuds. If it doesn’t start playing again, I have to pull out my phone, open the app, hit the rewind button and then play. That usually works but not always. If not, I do the whole “close the app and reopen” while praying that it doesn’t start the book over again. Another problem with this app is that sometimes I’ll get a book to download, but each time I start to listen to it, it downloads again, over and over. Also, this app is incredibly slow to open. It will open to the profile page so I will tap on my profile, but nothing happens. I have seriously waited close to a minute to be taken to the books under my profile. Bring back Axis360. It had issues but nothing like this one.
