User Reviews

Users like catalog search, digital reading, and cross-library features, but report recurring problems with login integration, holds/reservations, and UI stability. Repeated issues include needing to enter a 14-digit card number, holds not working, and frequent bugs or freezes. Some praise digital content access and geolocation features when functioning.
Pros
  • Mobile-friendly catalog search and ability to place reservations from the app.
  • Virtual library card and cross-system features (inter-library holds, book drops) for using the library network.
  • Geolocation to find available books and calendar integration to add events.
  • Access to digital content and reading on the go with a library card.
Cons
  • Login and authentication issues, including requiring the card number and poor integration with website logins.
  • Hold/reservation functionality is broken or unavailable in the app.
  • Poor, outdated, and sometimes confusing user interface and navigation.
  • Stability problems and bugs, including freezing and unreliable scanning.

They haven’t bothered to integrate the app properly with website logins. If you update your username/password from the default then you’re out of luck. You have to use your card number and pin. The website doesn’t let you add a pin but lets you change from your pin to a password. So bye bye to using this app once you’ve done that. There isn’t a workaround yet

Do I actually have to put in my 14 number card number every time I log onto this app? Maybe I am missing something.

yes the app may look dated but it allows me to read books for free online and on the go. only if you have a library card which you can get easily at your local library service. 10/10 would recommend
