I‘m sad/frustrated today because I‘ve only used half my hoopla borrows and was starting to decide what to splurge on for t he kiddo and myself...and my library system‘s server is wonky this week so hoopla isn‘t working. 😢 They‘re working on it, but they thought they fixed it yesterday so nobody knows when it will work again. I need the rest of my borrows!

Buchbeeg 🥺 4y

For those of you who use #Hoopla:

If you search Bonus Borrows, you'll get a list of over 1,300 items that you can borrow without counting against your monthly borrow limit within your library system. This is something I just stumbled on, and I assume that it's due to the world shutting down and all, so I can't say how long it'll last, but while it does it means you can read/listen to loads of great titles.

Laughterhp I think it lasts for the month of April. When I borrowed something, I believe it said it would return April 30th, which wasn‘t 21 days. But I could be wrong. 4y
LibrarianRyan Well I just downloaded 6. I did notice that some are free on paid platforms as well. But not all 4y
Ncostell Great, thanks for sharing! 4y

Anyone else having problems with #hoopla today?

I have accounts for a few different libraries, and I can‘t log in with any of them. I‘ve tried on my phone, tablet, and computer with no success. I even tried the “Contact Us” form on the website, and even that didn‘t work.

Blaire Yes. Mine is not working today either. 4y
MarriedtoMrT It loaded but says I don‘t have anything checked out (I do) and isn‘t showing any content. I‘ve been having trouble with their search for at least a few weeks now, too. 4y
rachelsbrittain Yes! Literally was just trying to log in, and it repeatedly wouldn't let me-- good to know it wasn't just me 4y

Laughterhp I was. Nothing was loading today. 😕 4y
AudiobookingWithLeah I just tried to log in, just keeps doing nothing. It did this the other day too. I was listening, then I paused it for free seconds, went to turn it back on, and it wanted me to sign in. But it wouldn't let me. 😕 4y
S3V3N I downloaded a book earlier. I haven't tried lately because my Kindle battery is dead. 4y

I need some help with Hoopla, if there are any littens who can offer advice. I was listening to an audiobookon my phone, and was doing something on my browser at the same time. When I clicked over to Hoopla to check how much time was left, Hoopla rebooted, kicked me out, and won't let me log back in. It won't let me reset my password or anything. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling, same problem. Any advice?!

merelybookish Contact your library? 4y
LibrarianRyan That is odd. Try one more time (incase it was a hoopla problem that has now been resolved). If that does not work, contact your library. 4y
ljuliel Hoopla is an app that needs a few kinks worked out. I‘ve had it clog and won‘t continue playing an audiobook, or not keeping my bookmark and I have to restart it. Also, their print size for ebooks isn‘t good enough for people who need LARGE PRINT. I know how to set the print sizes but they just don‘t make it big enough. I‘ve written to them twice about it. Not thrilled with Hoopla. 4y

sherryvdh @ljuliel I've had little issues with it since I started using it too. I put a negative review in the app store, and things improved for awhile. The last few weeks, it's been kicking me out if I stop and restart for any reason. But this is a big problem. I may try the app store feedback and see what happens. I wish they had some kind of in-app feedback. 4y
ljuliel Yes it‘s frustrating when it doesn‘t work properly. I‘ve written to them a couple of times. They always respond fairly quickly , so at least they‘re good about that. Here‘s a page with contact info in case you don‘t have it. https://www.hoopladigital.com/help. Click on Additional Support. (edited) 4y
sherryvdh @ljuliel thank you! 4y
