This sums up exactly my experience as well. Our library used to use Overdrive but switched to Libby (Or maybe Overdrive became Libby?). I can see why, it's nice and fancy looking, but it seems like I can't find my holds every single time for some reason. I constantly open the worthless chat pane.

Libby and Overdrive are the same thing with different skins. Neither app is good but Overdrive is simpler (IMO) for reserving books and downloading them, so I stuck with Overdrive.

I believe you can use either. I recently downloaded Libby but I still see my holds in overdrive too.

It's the same company. Libby is a rebranded Overdrive.
