Any BorrowBox users?

I love BorrowBox for audiobooks but finding unlistened to books is driving me nuts.

I have to leave browsing to scroll through my loan history or download the book to see whether the progress dial is at the beginning or the end.

I feel I must be missing something obvious?

Just me then.

I use it regularly but haven't had that issue.

I use BorrowBox but I don’t understand your question. Do you mean you can’t tell if you’ve already listened to the book before?

Interested in this thread?

Then you might like threads about these subjects:

I agree, that is annoying. I can't see that you are missing anything.

I love Borrowbox but just tend to remember what I've listened to / read and what I haven't.

Argh yes, I wish it would say if I had actually read them too, sometimes I reserve a book but it becomes available when I'm listening to something else so I have to return it (as I wouldn't complete in time) but it's then on my borrowed list. I tend to listen to very similar books and the synopsis isn't always enough to prompt me!

Books like Lucy Dawson where there's loads of them!

It's a horrible app with a very poor selection available. How can that be?

I'm glad I'm not the only one but I was hoping I'd missed something obvious.

It's so easy in the Libby app as your tags show up in the book description.
