Please move the navigation scroll
This app is ok and a necessary one if I want to listen to library audio book. A few suggestions. Please move the navigation scroll at the bottom. I've accidentally clicked on the navigation at the bottom under the play/pause button more than I want to admit. Problem is when you accidentally push it you have no idea where you were. It needs better watch integration. Maybe an Apple Watch app. The last one is a complaint about books that aren't available. Sometimes I filter by books that are available and I go to check it out and it says sorry it's not available. It happens all the time.

Notifications ignore iOS’ “Do Not Disturb”
The app itself works fine BUT the audio Notification came in (for the 2nd time) during my DO NOT DISTURB hours and woke me. (No, the app itself was not open at the time). Further, I have it set to show a badge - but that is not happening. ‘Report a problem' has no option for getting through about this. This severely impairs the usefulness of the app because I will have to turn off notifications completely.

Difficult to move through book. Do not see an option to go to specific chapter. Still trying to figure it out.

I miss the old Overdrive. This app uses a lot of battery even when it should be in sleep mode. My phone is constantly warning me of high battery usage and wanting to force close the app. This is something that needs to be addressed immediately by the developers! I also miss the ability to rate books.

Overall good for audiobooks--haven't really used it for ebooks. The wishlist/tag feature could use some work; I wish it synced with my local library website. The last time I switched phones and logged into the app, my custom tags and their contents were wiped.

Two modifications would improve the Libby vs Overdrive experience. First, allow searches for books NOT owned by your library with "recommend" for purchase. Second is to allow partial downloads of audiobooks by chapter or files and show audiobook progress by chapter. It is very very easy to lose your place in an audiobook and then it's a random process to find it again.
