User Reviews

Users praise the app's new features and cross-platform look, with easy access to holds status, suggestions, and checkout history. However, multiple reviews flag serious issues: slow performance and blank screens, poor iPad/tablet usability, inconsistent notifications, and various bugs (search, calendar, login). Several long-time users prefer the old app due to stability. The app's strengths are feature-richness and reminders, but reliability and optimization remain major pain points.
Pros
  • Fresh features and refreshed design with holds status, book suggestions to the library, and browsing of new or staff-picked titles, plus a cohesive look across iOS and Android.
  • Reminders and notifications for holds are helpful and timely.
  • Users can easily view their current checkouts and history, improving account visibility.
  • New app style feels polished and efficient (positive reception to the redesign).
Cons
  • Major performance issues: slow loading and blank screens, especially on startup.
  • Poor tablet experience: app appears phone-sized on iPad and is not optimized for larger screens; login and navigation issues.
  • Notifications are inconsistent or missing (in-app and email alerts not reliably received).
  • Functional bugs: search not working, add-to-calendar not functioning on iOS, and other navigation/link issues.
  • Negative sentiment toward the redesign, with many users preferring the old app due to stability and performance.

I love this app, the updates are amazing! Putting books on hold is so easy! However, there is a limit of twenty books at a time. 😢 You can even suggest books! Seeing what books you currently have is easy and helpful. And the reminders it sends are great! Great app!

Please make it easier to see which events you’re already signed up for. Also, the add to calendar option doesn’t work on iOS.
