library update hoopla Team Focuses on Audiobook Fixes Audiobooks have been a top focus of improvement with our developers and testing team here at hoopla. We wanted to update you on the progress, along with filling you in on some of the testing our developers have conducted.

This software can be updated through the device’s settings menu, or by updating through “Kies,” Samsung’s software for managing Galaxy devices. We are hopeful that this software update will be released to Sprint S4 users in the near future.
