The app works like it should so that you can search and reserve books. However, you will be sitting forever waiting for it to load.

It needs more work, since it glitches a lot. The overall feel is boring. Needs an upgrade.

This app is truly a life saver. Everything it says it allows you to do trust me it does. No webpages. Fast response. Renew books. Hold books. Search catalogs. E books. Up to date event calendar. I'm an avid reader and so are my children so with this app we have less time we waist in the library and more time reading.

Absolutely love this app: catalog search, due dates, holds, renewals, library locator and hours are all great. I only wish it didn't require repeated log-ins per use, and that it had the ability to scan a barcode to search the catalog for a book.

I love this app and it does everything it says it will. My only complaint is not knowing the availability of popular books that you request on hold. If you added that it would be great!

Accessing your acct, searching, viewing your hold list is very slow. However, all necessary features are there which is just as useful as the site. Just speed needs improvement.
