Lee Valley Library for Android
I'm glad you didn't go with a mobile website option since those are horribly annoying, and usually worthless. I really like having all of the versions available including older versions. Not having to collect all the print versions, and getting them earlier through the app is great. It is good to be able to bookmark, but it would be really great to be able to add to my wishlist from the app. It would really help for gifts or purchases later (I use the website cart and wishlist in the store as well).
It doesn't live up to the enjoyment of flipping through one of their extremely well made catalogs, but it's very functional. I would like to see a table of contents added digitally for quicker searches, and ordering functionality.
I was expecting or at least hopping that it would be a mobile friendly version of the online website. I don't want to download a whole catalogue to check if LV has a specific item. I'm going to uninstall this app
I want to turn off notifications of new catalogues. I prefer the hard copy because I can put notes and tags for products I am interested in. Also, i want to delete catalogs that I'm not interested in or old catalogs.
Annoying push notifications at 5 in the morning. No settings to change it
Frequently closed the catalog seemed to be linked to trying to read an item description. Fortunately the Veritas products ate orders of magnitude better than the app.
It's just a glorified PDF viewer. No mobile interface or access to the content. No searching, No ordering. A dumb idea and a missed opportunity.

Wonderful, provides All LV catalogs on my smart phone. What can I say?
Its a very handy app the only problem is on the lg 4g when u view a page u don't see the entire page
If a person could search from the bookshelf, add bookmarks, wishlist, and notes this would be amazing. As it sits this is just a convenient pdf downloading tool.
Can be with out it
If you can't find it here you can't find* it anywhere.
A like this :)
This is a very good, reading catalogs is very well done. Two of my suggestions are to make the download section filterable so I can at least narrow down my selection to Canada/English as an example, and be able to download my choices in the background as opposed to popup window. Thank you.
Great idea!!! Fix the bottom of the screen so I can see the entire catalog please.
What would've made it excellent is if you could order using PayPal
Would be one star except that Lee Valley is awesome!
Love it
I would have given a much higher sore if the app didn't cut the bottom of the page off, it is not usable at this time. I can't believe that it would be release this way! And it would be great if you could access your Leevally account to order tools and check other things like purchase history. Please Fix the cutting off the page issue for a start.
BOOKMARKS CRASHED! Needs to be ONLINE to work right. Memory hog, no SD Card but that's GOOGLE'S fault.
Page bar cuts off the bottom of every page. App could be much more useful if it could be tied to a user account that would allow adding items to a wish list or cart.
Lee Valley Tools has a great development team. The magazine dl is fast and painless. The catalogue searches are spot on, as is using the index and tapping on the page number. Very well done. Could we have a highly interactive PDF desk/laptop version, please? Additions: a seperate page of addresses with all pertinent information and an instruction page for the less astute.
Nice having your catalogue at hand, but why can I not move it to the sd card? All my other books on kindle reader, etc. are on the sd card and I can read them without issue...
Scrollbar at bottom obscures page content. The bar needs to disappear after use, or the content needs to sit higher up so everything can be seen.
This is my favorite 'catalog' to browse, but I have two problems: first when changing pages both the header and footer obscure the page. So I'm reading a paragraph, but can't see the last sentence because the footer "covers" it up. Not a good idea when you can't read the price! Second: I would expect the ability to tap on an item and put it in my cart or a wish list. Unfortunately this app still requires you to use a browser to find and order items. This app does save trees.
Love the portability of having it on my tablet wherever I go.

This isn't a shopping cart. It's a classy Ebook reader for the Lee Valley catalog. You can get notifications for new catalogs and keep your place in the one you're reading.
