UPDATED: What are OverDrive’s plans for Libby and the OverDrive app?

We are sunsetting the legacy OverDrive app for iOS, Android, and Windows 8/10 to make Libby the primary way for users to enjoy your digital library.

We removed the OverDrive app from the Apple App Store, Google Play, and the Microsoft Store on February 23, 2022.

On July 27, 2022, we started displaying in-app messaging to OverDrive app users informing them about the upcoming sunset of the legacy app with a prompt to upgrade to Libby.

We plan to fully discontinue the legacy OverDrive app at the end of April 2023. At that time, users who try to access your library’s collection in the OverDrive app will need to upgrade to Libby.

Note: The legacy OverDrive for Windows and OverDrive for Mac desktop software that allows users to download audiobooks and transfer them to dedicated MP3 players will not be sunset at the end of April. While we no longer support new downloads of this software, users who already have it installed can continue to use it by downloading audiobooks from your library’s .overdrive.com website.
