App is great to check out which books are available or are on order. Problem is, the app does have a LOT of problems - constant servir errors that require you to close and reopen the app, the app logging you out of your account and/or requiring you to log in multiple times before crashing, etc. I do wish there was also a function to put Link+ books on hold.
