Don’t judge a book by its cover. This app looks slick but it’s soooooo sticky. I am regularly kicked out and have to re-enter my password. Sometimes it won’t let me back in at all for extended periods of time. A while back there were filtering problems but those seem to be better. And the loading screen has seen a huge improvement over the initial screen with the library facts. But there are still lots of problems (and glitches) in the operation of an app that should be smooth and easy to use. And it’s one of the apps I use frequently, so it’s extra frustrating that it doesn’t work properly. For those saying don’t hate, these things need to be said so developers are aware of the problems and can do better, respond with bug fixes, and make their product more functional.
I want to LOVE it….but I CAN’T

The functionality of the app is great for searching, exploring and even placing holds but there’s one HUGE problem that renders the app next to useless. I am logged out every session. There’s no way to remain logged in to the app. I’m not sure if it’s due to a glitch or functionality but the fact that I have to find and enter my library card number every time I want to use the app is a huge deterrent. PLEASE FIX THIS ISSUE!!!
Love it!

So far I been using it for a while and I haven’t really had any issue with it. It’s so easy to look up books you’re interested in. See what libraries have it available to place a hold on them. See what books you have borrow or have hold for. Get notified when your books are ready for pick up! Pretty straightforward plus you get a barcode if you forget your library card at home!!!
Basic, boring and slow, but better than nothing

The loading screen forces me to read the same two facts repeatedly every time I open the app. Considering it’s an app for libraries it could have a little more variety, like tell me new facts or just show me a little animation of a book opening instead. Managing browsing categories is painful. Literally the only business I want to retain my data is my library so that finding interesting material would be easier, but alas my discover page is uneventful and irrelevant.
Fix issue where card would not show on some devices
