This app is very helpful. It makes navigating the different collections way easier and faster.However, there are some things that could be added. For starters, the website has a better system to view and zoom in on things. For example, if I’m looking at a newspaper, on the website I can easily zoom in and find what I need. But on the app it’s just a blurry picture and I can’t read anything.

There’s SOOOO much fascinating and thought-provoking material here - enough to keep someone occupied for years! The down side? No good way to access what you want to see. The buttons under “Topics” are completely random and unrelated to the labels. Hundreds, maybe thousands of scanned books, and no way to Search for an author or title? Just Browse? Fix that, and you have a winner!
