User Reviews

The app is praised for its refreshed look and Libby sync, and for handling basic tasks. However, multiple reviews point to reliability problems: holds/requests failing, constant server/connectivity errors and blank screens, search issues, and compatibility problems with newer iOS versions, along with a perceived outdated design. Overall, users want fixes to stabilize core features and improve compatibility.
Pros
  • App looks modern and back after issues; users notice an improved UI.
  • Syncs with Libby audiobook database, which many users appreciate.
  • Simple to perform basic library tasks like placing holds and booking tickets when it works.
  • Does what it says and functions when the app is operating normally.
Cons
  • Holds/requests frequently don’t work; users can’t place holds or request items.
  • Persistent server connection/login errors; app locks up, crashes, or shows “unable to connect to server.”
  • Search functionality not loading or results flashing/returning blank screens beyond the homepage.
  • Compatibility issues with iOS versions (e.g., not working on iOS 18.3.1) and lack of available help.
  • Clunky, outdated design and slow performance when the app is functioning.

I really like this app, it makes it easy to put books on hold without having to log into my library’s website. I would really like an update to be made that would show what my place is in line for holds.

Lately the app is not allowing me the option to place books on hold. It only allows me to see which library the books are located. I like to place the books on hold to pick up at the closest library. It’s inconvenient to have to check through out the day to see if this has been fixed and randomly it will give me the option to do that. The frequency of this working is decreasing
