Stacks Mobile for Android
From a librarian: used to be decent, but unusable since last update of our OPAC. Errors when trying to search or access accounts. Used to be very handy for renewals. Always hated the dark-gray-on-black color scheme in the search box. No way for local branch to contact support.
Please fix this app. It was way better before you change it. Now I can't log in at all.
I loved the older version of this app but the new one loaded, and then I lost my library card and had to get a new one. Now I can't get in to my old account, and when I try to make a new one the app doesn't work. Very disappointing since I loved the easy access to my account. Please fix. It's April still can't use this app. Please fix Prince George's County memorial library
Since its last update, the app does not recognize my library account which has been registered in it since the beginning. Tried to remove it and re-register and it will not allow me to put it in again. Gonna have to give this a negative review until its fixed. Have loved using this app in the past but this is an unacceptable issue.

Fastest and easiest way to search and check out books for Polaris libraries and their users.
Would be much better if we could search categories for CHILDREN.
This is a great start but when you select your branch it doesn't keep it, it's annoying to have to select it each time. Also the map to find local branches is unreadable on my HTC phone. Last problem, when you go to reserve a book it keeps the location where the book is as the pickup branch, you can't change it; that's kind of worthless.
It sounds like a great idea, and Lisa's concern over selecting the branch may even have been addressed. Unfortunately, it just doesn't work, at all on two different Jellybean phones. Gripe #1, and this one is completely inexcusable: The app uses an extremely low-contrast color scheme. On the search pane, the option pulldowns are labeled with small (6 or 8 pt) black text on a dark gray background. The label showing the selected option is monochrome off-white on a light gray background -- yes, lighter gray on light gray.WHY??? Even with glasses which correct my near vision to 20/10, I cannot read this thing. Google "ADA", folks. #2: The first time the app is launched, it immediately crashes. On second launch, it works. Missing config file? Programming 101 fail! #3: If you are inside a building where GPS reception is not possible, and you create a new user profile without first disabling GPS location services, the app will hang, apparently forever, trying to find your location. #4: Search capability. First search failed with Java error, until I ran same search from search history. #5: Author search with Last, First fails. C'mon, that was solved 30 years ago.
Too many bugs need fixing.. I installed twice and still not working right... But will install once better comments are posted an the app actually works

Up date June 2016 still cannot create a new account put in my information, and it tells me it cannot create an account that I should check my data connection which is working fine. Try again get same result
