Ratings and Reviews
Filters do not work
Some searches are fine, and once I locate the item I can order it to be sent to my local library. However when I try to use filters to narrow a search the filters never take. This app is not as good as its predecessor.
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.
Not ready for prime time
I use my local library a lot, so the Swan app was very useful for me. The developer suddenly discontinued it and this is the new replacement app. So far, it’s useless for me as it keeps crashing and/or losing my account info during a session, so I have to shut it down and start again. I’ll update this review if things improve, but right now it’s a 1-star because I can’t do anything with the app. Needs more testing and bug-squishing for sure!
