United StatesPalace is a free, easy-to-use e-reader app that lets you find, check out, and read or listen to books from your local library. It’s been said that libraries are “palaces for the people” and the Palace app gives you instant access to your local “palace” any time, right from the palm of your hand. All you need to sign up is your library card! And even if your library isn’t using Palace yet, you can still read more than 10,000 books--from children’s books to classics to foreign language books--for free from our Palace Bookshelf. The Palace app is built and maintained by The Palace Project, a not-for-profit division of Lyrasis working in partnership with Digital Public Library of America with funding from the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation. For more, visit https://thepalaceproject.org.
Won't download or mark where you leave off
Look at the most recent reviews. So many won and two stars. Deservedly so. Can't tag or mark a book to read later. Either download it now or try to find it later. If you remember. What an inferior app.
United StatesGood app, but the battery and intro repeating problems are frustrating
I’ve enjoyed lots of audiobooks on this app, but there are two issues that prevent it getting five stars. The biggest is that it chews up my battery when using the app, as other reviewers have said. The phone heats up and my battery goes from 100% to almost 0% in no time. The second issue is the constant repeat of the first few lines at the beginning of each chapter. If they could could only fix these two issues, it would be a five star app.
United StatesDisappointed
I wanted to borrow a book. Got the notification that it was available to borrow and it just keeps loading and then eventually boots me off the app.
United StatesGreat
I think palace is awesome the only problem is that there’s a limit of books.
United StatesGrateful to have it but could use improvement
It’s free and gives me access to more books so I’ll love it forever BUT it often loses track of where I left off in a book and starts back up again on the wrong spot. So make sure to take note of where you leave off and you should be ok
United StatesOf Earth and Sky
Beautifully written historical novel.
United StatesSEARCH function is useless.
I did a specific search for audiobooks by author Alex Kava and there were probably hundreds of books returned. ONE showed Alex Kava with the rest having nothing to do with my actual specific search. WHY?? Why have a search which provides so many non related results? I did the same search using the LIBBY app and 7 results appeared, ALL for Alex Kava. Maybe Palace should hire the programmer from Libby to fix their problem!! Based on this horrible feature I will be deleting this app.
