Can we just take a moment to think that a publicly funded program made this app? Sure it's not perfect, but when you get it running, it sure does run. You can search from multiple local libraries at once, interact with your audiobook as a notification, have multiple people or locations on one card (*cough* Netflix) and so much more. I feel like the app really is intuitive and remembers me each time I use it. It's certainly my go to library app and I will miss it after I leave high school.

Listened to all Harry Potter books. Peak 👍👍👍 Wanted to read more but was unable to for education Queensland. Dont know if it is because I'm in year 7 now but I don't know? 😱😭😭😭 (Edited) IM BACK IN MY ACCOUNT 👍🏆👑 not to flex but I got 10 hours of e reading - Like Books no Audio. And I've been using It for 18 months. I almost have all achievements except the assigned books because my teachers didn't want to assign books. Even after I begged and begged. I got a re teach room. 👍👍🏆🏆👑👑

I'm responding to "Rebecca Savage u said sora stinks that's very childish well u probably are a child for the words you use I think Sora is a very good app everyone doesn't have to think that but I think that because I like reading the variety of books they have with all types of different comprehensive books for every age and also there's not a lot of websites that allow free reading I spent hours looking for a website that would allow free copys of books that I would need to pay to get access.
