User Reviews

Users praise the app for easy searching, placing holds, renewing items, and accessing eBooks and events. However, recurring issues include login/logout problems, server connectivity, search UI glitches, and a lack of saved lists. Some users also face hold-placing bugs. Overall, core features work when stable, but reliability and feature gaps need improvement.
Pros
  • Easy to search for books.
  • Place holds easily and the holds system is straightforward.
  • Renew checked-out items from the app.
  • See what you have checked out and manage items.
  • Download eBooks instantly and view library events.
Cons
  • Frequent login/logout issues and credential errors; the app sometimes signs users out unexpectedly.
  • Intermittent server connectivity or app downtime making it hard to use the service.
  • Search UI glitches such as results not scrolling, taps loading endlessly, or screen UI quirks (e.g., zoom issues).
  • Lack of saved lists/favorites in the app; can't save items for future reference.
  • Hold placement can fail due to UI bugs (e.g., showing 'find a copy' instead of 'place a hold').

Searching for titles immediately leads to a glitch where the screen zooms in and makes the app unusable. You have to constant double tap your screen with two fingers to zoom out. I’m on iPhone 17 iOS 26.3. No way to make lists of books. Disappointing for the nation’s largest county libraries! Please do better, devs.

Not sure what happened but whenever I search for a title, the search results page wouldn’t scroll down so I’m stuck staring at the first 2 results. When you tap on a title, the page just loads forever. Better to use desktop.

There’s a glitch, when I want to order a book from a library it just has the button “find a copy” and not “place a hold” so I can’t order a book to come to my local library. I’ve tried to fix it but it just stays the same, please fix this glitch.
