Ratings and Reviews
Functional but Inaccurate
While searching up for materials through the catalog works just fine (but will also note that their catalog is small and could use some new materials to be added), checking for library hours was horribly inaccurate. The main website too.
Went to my local library after checking THE Ocean State website, the app, and even Google Maps for good measure, to be sure that they were open, and they were not.
I don’t understand how a library system doesn’t value itself. Want more patrons and more people to use the libraries? Be better. DO better. Be more accurate.
Balky and awkward
I found this app almost impossible to listen to: an audiobook would unexpectably stop and need to be re-started; sometimes at the end of a chapter, sometimes after long periods of continuity. It's a 3 or 4 step process to go from sleep to playing, instead of a simple button press to wake the player (iPhone.) I understand publishers want to make audiobooks easier to protect, but this app is making them hard to enjoy. I hope it will be polished and upgraded.
Keeps getting worse
The second to last version of this app worked well. I relied on it and enjoyed using it. The last version of this app only allowed me to use the library card barcode for scanning. I relied on it. This version of the app is completely nonfunctional. I have an iphone 6s. Considering this is a public library app, it should be functional for a wider variety of phones, including older ones.
