## Review summary

Users generally praise the app for easily booking story times and finding/placing holds on books and tracking loans, including ebook access. However, repeated issues across many reviews show the app frequently fails to load, freezes, or crashes, making core functions like searching the catalog and placing holds unreliable. Login problems across devices and with library cards are common, along with frustrating session issues (logout not clearing fields) and performance problems. Several users call for a redesign and warn to restore functionality to at least match or exceed the prior version.

### Pros

- Easy to book/register story times or events for kids.
- Easy search for available copies, place holds, and track due dates.
- Access to ebooks in borrowed items within the app.

### Cons

- The app frequently fails to load or keeps freezing/crashing, sometimes showing a blank screen or a spinning loader.
- Core features like catalog search, placing holds, and account management don’t work reliably or at all; freezes.
- Login problems across devices and with library cards; login not recognized on mobile.
- Performance issues: slow load times and frequent hangs requiring reinstalls.
- Logout issues and limited account management (e.g., can't clear login fields on logout; cannot add family cards).
