Edit. The earlier issue I had with adding accounts was resolved very quickly and the app now works well. It signs you in to your library accounts automatically which is very convenient and saves a lot of time. I highly recommend it, especially if you have multiple library accounts. The only thing is, I can't seem to assign a name to each account, although it looks like the app was built to facilitate this. But this is only a minor issue. ------ I tried to add accounts at two different libraries but in both cases it said the card number or PIN were incorrect. After trying a few times and even verifying my PINs by signing in directly to the libraries' websites (they were correct), I gave up and uninstalled this app. A very promising app, but unfortunately I couldn't get it to work.

Brilliant app to keep a track of my library accounts while on the move. The developer even fixed a glitch I had to enable me to add one of my accounts

A great way of tracking library books, particularly for those of us fortunate enough to belong to more than one library service. Fast support from the developer.

Why is this an excellent app to have on your mobile because it allows you to search, review, reserve, renew your books. I am surprised at the low number of downloads of this app maybe the libraries need to do more to promote the app. Forgot our library card this app even covers this situation just goto Menu and select Show Card to get our card number you can even use it for scanning subject to stated limitation. 10 Jan 2017 Note to developer - THANKS

Liked that you can email saved list why not call email header "from library records".

I find it very handy for checking my book loans and renewal dates without having to remember my card number every time. Makes it easy to check all the families loans so that they don't become overdue.
