Good idea but... This app is terrible I does not work. it's missing most of the states in the US also the library's are missing. Does not work also needs updates and it has to many issues to work well

Still the worst app. Great idea, so much potential, but totally useless. Need to use the local website instead.

Used to LOVE it - now it doesn't work anymore. Can't find my state RI, my lib and can't get into my account. Please Fix. I really liked it.

I love using this app to keep track of what I borrow from my public library. Also looking back on what I've had and renewing orders or put items on hold. It's a must have for me!! So easy to use!!

My library was here and now it's not. WTH?

Y70%

While it works to a certain point there are problems. First it always says my session has expired even tho I log out. It sometimes loses my sign in information. Would like to see a selection for video recording or movies. Does not show a selection of all the libraries that have a certain video I am looking for which means a call to the library when placing a hold. And doesn't give info if the library that is supposed to have it. Lost it in some way. These are things I've run into. Is good for holds.

This update is useless. Can't search for items, can't hold items. Please fix, or undo the update. All new reviews say the same so why has it been months with no fix

U70%
by U####:

Too many pages to go through to get where I want, difficult to do advanced searches and I couldn't put a book on reserve.

Cant tick the checkbox to renew books anymore. Fix it please!

U70%
by U####:

I can't check the box to renew books or for other actions in the app. Not much use now. It used to be great.

F70%

Needs the ability to sort items due by due date.

This app was awesome when it worked but now it just goes blank. Doesn't even navigate anywhere for me. I'm so bummed.

Z70%
by Z####:

This app was great in the beginning but now there is nothing but problems . I can't search or even request the books I want. It was great requesting books and searching for books I wanted at other libraries. But now it's nothing but a pain

P70%
by P####:

With the latest update can't log in anymore. Otherwise it was nice to get a quick look at what items you had checked out when it worked.

U70%
by U####:

I was really excited for this app -- it's a brilliant idea -- but I still, after MONTHS, cannot login, and I know my login information is correct. As it does not appear that the developer is making any efforts to rectify this issue, I will unfortunately be uninstalling this app and searching for a new one.

U70%
by U####:

It is easier to just use Chrome and go to the library website.

You can not enter details to log in to your library account. I am using a Motorola Moto G.

After scanning Barcode app goes blank. Search function not working. My saved items does not show up in my list. Do something about the app please :/

The idea of this app is fantastic. The reality is that, unfortunately, it consistently doenst work. Moving between menu options involves lengthy delays or simply returns a blank white screen. I have to restart the app almost each time I access it, and right now, the entire app has crashed and can't be used at all. I was hoping I'd just missed installing an update, but no updates...just an app that won't work

Doesn't work most of the time

Worked great until recently. Does not display my book listing or account info. My library has updated their site... Are you in sync with their changes?

Great for renewals; accurate.

"No library near me", browse libary list South Africa not there. What access code?

Y70%
by Y####:

Needs more work to be prefereable over logging into library website. Very poor contrast screens- from the start making it difficult to use (eg see where the library number/pin have to be entered) and small fonts (this on a 7 inch tablet) Also hard to see where to tap to carry out actions. It was not clear when an action had been carried out - in my case that a book had been renewed. There should be positive feedback when something like that has completed successfully.

Everything I liked about this app - saved titles, toggling between hard copy listings and ebook listings - is now a mess and much harder to use (can't see more than 3 of my saved titles at a time??). The search function is an absolute joke - the results that come up have absolutely nothing to do with the search terms I started with. While the look is sleeker, this most recent update definitely did not do anyone any favors.

This app would be awesome if only the account log in worked but it doesn't so this app is no good!

Works great - very simple to use. Only thing I picked up on was the need to programme the "back" button to work. Thank you!

N70%
by N####:

When I first opened this app, I was able to find my library and at least view the catalog. (Wouldn't allow me to sign in however.) Opened it a second time to try signing in and the profile icon disappeared. Opened it a third time (and all the times after I've tried) and all I get is a white screen with the header at the top. Profile icon missing, and now can't even get the option to search for a library to come up. Useless app.

Since update I can't view or renew books on loan and my local library isn't listed. Shame as it was a really useful app.
