ACPL Mobile for Android
Can't even set up an an account. The app stops every time I go to upload a photo (which is required to set it up).
It take so long to load and always give me a two days in advance notification, when I'll actually want the notification of the day that is actually do.
Will not allow me to set up account
New update is terrible. No idea why you found the need to change it. I can well understand the need to upgrade and eliminate bugs, etc, but to change the interface just seems like someone was trying to justify a budget.
I cannot get ebooks to my Kindle from the app. And there's no Click for Help button. What's up with that?
I love how I get notifications for my and my wife's accounts without having to be logged in to one or the other.
Search on the new app is HORRIBLE!! To find a movie you have to know if it is R rated or not and select DVD or BluRay. Why 4 searches instead of one??? Also, if you go back to search again, you have to enter all the info again. Why doesn't it go back to your previous search??? HATE THE NEW APP!!
Notified me that my book was "due soon" on the day after it was due. This was my first checkout, now it's my first late fee. It's actually a pretty nice app, but obviously, the unreliability of the due notifications can't be overlooked. I was relying on that.
Im mad as Hell that the new updated version deleted all of my list. I spent alot of time getting those titles together and now its gone....thanks alot. Not happy
It's nice to be able to have all my kids cards with me, but with the latest version it no longer allows the bar code to rotate to make it bigger and easier to scan.
Oh my god this is terrible! I had the older version and loved it, had to delete it for a few weeks to make room on my phone for a project and I decided to reinstall it to browse music and audio books but that functionality is gone with the new version! Who thought this was a good idea???? PLEASE BRING BACK THE OLD VERSION!!!!
The app is fine except that unlike the previous version you can't see item availability in the catalog when all copies of an item are checked out. I looked up a DVD and it said all copies were checked out, but I couldn't see what branches owned that movie and I couldn't see the item's section, call number, etc. like you normally can when using a laptop or desktop. Absolutely terrible in that sense due to lack of information available to the patron. As a very avid ACPL user, that was one thing about the old version that was perfect! The Item Availability dropdown provided branch availability even if all copies were checked out. Please fix! Less important but worth mentioning is the lack of customization for notifications by due date like the old version had. I liked how I could customize them before the update. Example: setting notifications to show up same day or one day before the due date. Thank you.
The new design is a big improvement. I like that there are cover images now and item descriptions. Great work for a public library.
The previous version was MUCH better. The new layout is an impediment...
The forced update unfortunately made this app inoperable on older phones, which is a shame when it used to be so user-friendly and useful, if a little unintuitive.
The old version was much more informative. I can't tell if my holds are ready or pending with this version.
Don't use it much seeing as I'm 12 but when I do very useful!
The app works great except when it's behind a firewall that doesn't allow the standard ports to be used.
This thing rocks!
I loved it! It is really easy to use it and helps a lot when I forgot my card!!
On my Android device running lollipop the recommend reading list shows the same books regardless of source.
Its a shame with 2 updates since July, the locations/hours section still does not load. Will that ever be fixed?? Also, featured titles lists don't seem to update and are all basically identical.
Don't use it much seeing as I'm 12 but when I do very useful!
Good app easy to use but it would be really nice if they can have it so you can move it to your SD card to save on space on your phone
This app is awesome and saves me so much time and hassle!
Love this app
Great app
Does everything I expect and so much more!!!!! When I reserve books, they're ready. I can renew material on the app and see branch hours and events. Easy to find books and their current location. I can place holds for when items come back in if they're checked out by others. It's just great in every way.
I have used this application for several years now. It allows you to search the library's catalog conveniently if you know what you're looking for, place holds to be delivered to the location of your choice, functions as a card, features several reading lists and lets you make your own. It is fast and intuitive at this phase, yet remains streamlined and easy to navigate. My greatest complaint is that its recommended reading lists all seem to display the same thing.
It's wonderful to have the library at my fingertips where ever I am!

Best app on my phone!
Very handy. Use this app all the time.
This is exceptional and a great way for me to get all my library books right from my tablet easily! I enjoy this app and strongly recommend it
Best app on my phone!
Awesome
Was a very good app but have been getting 'connection error' message past 3-4 weeks now. No response from tech support after sending email requesting assistance.
It crashes when I click Featured Titles.
How do you read books ?

It's been working decently. I do wish we could go back to the way it used to be. The old way was so much easier to use. This afternoon the app is down and the ACPL website is also down. Site cannot be reached.
