New versions of the OverDrive Media Console app for Android, iOS and Windows Phone 7 devices incorporate social media sharing features.
With the release of OverDrive Media Console v2.5 for Android™, iOS and Windows® Phone, we’re implementing features that enable users to share their enthusiasm for library eBooks and audiobooks via social media networks. On each of the platforms, users have the option to share from within the eBook or audiobook title they’re enjoying.
Selecting a title’s “Share” button gives users a variety of options, depending on the operating system.
On Android, users have the option to share…
- on Facebook
- on any social media app/service installed on the device (Twitter, TweetDeck, Google+, etc.)
- via email
On iOS, users have the option to share…
- on Facebook
- on Twitter
- via email
On Windows Phone, users have the option to share…
- on Facebook
These latest OMC apps include several performance updates. OMC for Android now requires Android v2.1 (or newer). The system requirements for iOS (v4.2 or newer) and Windows Phone 7 remain the same.
If you already have OverDrive Media Console installed on your Android, iOS or Windows Phone 7 device, you’ll receive notification that an update is available. Otherwise, download OMC v2.5 here:
