2025-12-15	Ar*****	Before the update, everything was slow. The interface was bad too. Now the update made everything better

2025-10-28	Ni*****	Good luck finding what you’re looking for, unless it is minutely specific. Can’t even pull up a list of options for a specific author. At least the librarians aren’t out of a job!

2025-10-25	Ca*****	The app had a nicer , more visually pleasing menu/interface before the update 1 month ago (mostly under “account” feature). Since the update I frequently have to log back in. Otherwise it works fine.

2025-09-29	ラn*****	Instead of optimizing the ‘events’ sections to be more fluid, you guys replaced it with the LAPL website… Please undo that; some of us like the option of adding events to our iOS Calendar. Apps shouldn’t rely on a webpage layout… Find a developer who knows how to optimize apps for iOS 26.

2025-09-12	We*****	I opened up an updated version of the app and all I could think was “What the heck is this?” The app has all the clunkiness and clutter of the version in the library. The typeface is small. At least with the full desktop version you can get Tessa. This is … something.

2025-07-21	Ju*****	This app rarely works: it's very glitchy. It times out before I can access my account, the OPAC is inaccurate, and the branch locator freezes. I wish LAPL would dump Boopsie for a better vendor.
