Specific, exploitable gaps in the top Library apps on the App Store.
Extremely limited library coverage, especially for US small-town and regional libraries, with no upfront transparency about supported locations
"I live in a small town of 6k, therefore my library isn't in the selection. Deleting the app after this review"
"Despite being in the American App Store this only shows libraries in the U.K. which is useless if you don't live there"
No pricing complaints mentioned - the app appears to be free, with users' frustrations centered on functionality and library availability rather than cost.
Users comparing BorrowBox unfavorably to premium alternatives like Audible and Libby suggests they're familiar with paid services and would pay for better reliability and coverage.
