How To Download From Hoopla

To download from Hoopla, you need a valid library card from a participating library and the Hoopla app installed on a supported device. Once you have those, you can borrow titles and save them to your phone or tablet for offline access.

What you need to download from hoopla

Before you can download content, you must meet two requirements. First, you need a valid library card from a participating library to create an account and borrow titles. Second, you need the Hoopla app installed on a supported device, such as a smartphone, tablet, or compatible e-reader. If you are setting up a laptop instead, you can similarly download from Disney plus on laptop for offline viewing. After installing the app, create an account using your email address and a password, then select your library and enter your library card number.

Step-by-step: how to download from hoopla

Once your account is set up, follow these steps to save content for offline use:

1. Find a title and tap 'Borrow'.
2. After borrowing, tap 'Download to your device' on the title details page. This option is typically found below the play button.
3. Wait for the download to complete. The time it takes depends on the file size and your internet connection.

This process works for movies, TV shows, music, eBooks, audiobooks, and comics. If you also want to save content from other services, you can learn how to download on Tubi by following that platform's specific steps.

Where to find your downloaded content

Once downloaded, content can be accessed offline through the Hoopla app in the "My Hoopla" or "My Titles" section. Open the app and navigate to that area to see all your saved titles. Note that downloaded content is temporary and will expire automatically at the end of the lending period. When the lending period ends, the files become inaccessible and are removed from your device.

Managing and troubleshooting your downloads

To manage your downloads effectively, keep an eye on your device storage. Delete titles you have finished watching or listening to free up space for new downloads. Because downloads expire, check the "My Titles" section regularly and re-download content if you need it again before the lending period ends.

If you run into issues, start with these basic fixes. Ensure you have a stable internet connection for the initial download. If the app behaves unexpectedly, try updating the app to the latest version. Restarting your device can also resolve temporary glitches. If problems persist, contact your library or Hoopla support for further assistance.
