Ratings and Reviews
Glitchtastic!
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.
Unreliable
This is the only online catalog that my library uses and that’s the only reason I downloaded for the convenience. It’s a pretty basic app and when it works is fine but it’s very buggy and unreliable. I get so frustrated. I just login online laptop instead most days
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
