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.
The app works fine for me
I see reviews about filters not working or having to sign in repeatedly, crashes, etc. I’ve had none of these issues. I’ve been able to open the app on multiple days already signed in, filter my searches and place holds for books to be transferred to my local library. I’ve also used the app's digital library card instead of carrying the physical card. App hasn’t crashed at all. I don’t have to manually select my library every time I open the app. Everything seems to work just fine. Will update if I spot any problems
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.
