## Review summary

The app is widely hailed for convenience and up-to-date account data, including copy locations and due dates, with a visually appealing, feature-rich update. The main drawbacks are recurring login/authentication friction, unreliable mobile search (inconsistent results and difficulty placing holds), and occasional stability issues that prevent searching or reserving items. Overall, users who rely on the library for on-the-go access see real value, but core usability problems—especially login and search—limit its reliability.

### Pros

- Convenience and ease of use, with ability to search/select while on the go.
- Real-time or near real-time updates for holds, checkouts, and returns.
- Clear copy location details and due dates for borrowed items.
- Improved, visually appealing and intuitive interface after updates.

### Cons

- Frequent login/authentication friction: users report being unable to log in or being prompted to log in repeatedly.
- Unreliable mobile search: results are slow or don’t match expectations, making holds hard to place.
- Stability and usability issues: occasional crashes or features not working, requiring restarts or hindering use.
