User Reviews

Users like the app for catalog search and placing holds/checkout, plus positive upgrade-driven UX improvements and in-app library card access. However, recurring issues across reviews include slow performance, crashes, login/authentication failures after updates, hold/search reliability problems, a degraded UI/UX versus the old app, and incomplete visibility of checked-out items. The top asks are faster, reliable sign-in, predictable hold/status behavior, and a smoother, more intuitive experience.
Pros
  • Easy catalog search and the ability to place holds/checkout from the mobile app
  • Upgrades deliver new features and a better UX/UI
  • In-app display of your library card
  • Works well on older devices and is more user-friendly than the previous version
Cons
  • Slow performance with long load times, frequent freezes, and incomplete graphic loading after updates
  • Login/authentication failures after updates (accounts not recognized, can't sign in, etc.)
  • Hold functionality and search reliability issues after updates (difficulty placing holds, searches returning no results)
  • UI/UX degradation compared with the older version—hard to use, not intuitive, and overly heavy graphics
  • Incomplete or inaccurate visibility of currently checked-out items

I love that I can search and request books on my phone through this app! Thank you for having this app in existence! 😊

His review was very inaccurate because he probably used not very good WiFi because it loads fine for me so he shouldn’t have that problem.
