Hoopla Digital

The days are going extinct when you head towards the library when you want to read some book or some journal. The world is being digital, so are the libraries.

You always have your smartphone with you and you can make it your digital library. But how? Well it is very simple. Install Hoopla Digital in your smartphone and you will be open to a digital library world.

You access thousands of books, audiobooks or comics with this app. Do you want something more? The app also offers you movies, music & TV shows.

Hoopla can be considered your Netflix for books. You can rent out books, audiobooks and other content.

How the App Works

The app works in collaboration with your local libraries. To use the app, you must have a library card of some local library.

If you don’t have the library card, you can choose a library based on your location and can request the library card from that library. The app will redirect you to the library’s website.

Is the App Free?

Yes, the app is free to use for its users. It does not cost you a penny. But you must have the library card for a local library.

Region Availability

The app has a limited availability as it covers only the US & Canada local libraries. It does not support libraries of other countries.

However, it does not mean that you cannot use it in other countries. You can use the app in other countries too, but you should have a library card information of a US or Canadian library.

You can have the library card through someone living in the US or Canada or you can buy the library card access online from the library’s website.

What Hoopla Digital Offers You

• E-Books: You can buy E-Books for a maximum of 21 days. After 21 days, your rent duration will expire.
• Comics: Comics can also be rented for a maximum of 21 days.
• Audiobooks: Same as the E-books & comics, you can rent audiobooks for a maximum of 21 days.
• Music: You can also access music albums in the app, but the access to music albums is short, you can rent albums for a maximum of 7 days.
• Movies & TV Shows: You can access hundreds of TV shows & movies in the app. Once you access a movie or a show, it will be available for you for 72 hours.

Will You Get A Lot of Content?

It is the most important question that would be in your mind regarding the app. The answer cannot be a single yes or no.

While I assure you that you will definitely find something interesting to read, listen to or watch in the app, but at the same time I would advise you to not expect the latest books or comics in the app.

The content has variety and they feature interesting and quality content but the database is not very huge as you would expect with some big names in the market.

Moreover, the availability and quantity of content also depends upon your library.

Limitations for Borrowing

The local libraries only allow a limited number of books you can borrow during a month. As this app has a collaboration with local libraries, it does the same.

You can rent out a limited number of books, audiobooks, movies or comics. The limit depends upon your library. For instance, my library allows only a total of 10 borrowings.

What about the Quality?

Another important concern is the quality. The quality of books, comics, music and audiobooks is great. I was satisfied with the quality of e-books and the playback of audiobooks was also satisfied in my usage.

However, there are certain occasions where I felt that the quality can be further improved.

In case of movies & TV shows, the app does not offer HD quality. This can be disappointing for some people but the good thing is that the quality is fine. Despite the SD quality, it’s really fine and crisp and you will enjoy it.

Should you Install it?

My answer would be yes. You should definitely install Hoopla Digital to experience a digital library. Especially, if you are already a library card holder, the app is worth installing for you.

The app has some room for improvement. I wish the user interface and the quality of audiobooks could be improved a little more. But it is still good currently, and is highly satisfactory and pleasing.

The people who love to read but could not go to the library will really enjoy this app. If you are one of them, just grab your phone and install this app. You must give it a try.
