## Review summary

Users report a major regression after the latest update: the app is frequently unusable due to persistent login issues, automatic logouts, and login-screen loops. Saved library card data and multi-account switching also fail, complicating access. Some positives remain, including the app's usefulness for library tasks and easy hold placement, but core reliability problems dominate. The My Borrowing data can be inaccurate and requires refresh. A fix for login stability, card retention, and data accuracy would restore trust, with dark-mode improvements as a secondary UI enhancement.

### Pros

- The app is a useful tool for library tasks, including finding information and managing your account.
- Holds management is convenient, with features like placing holds quickly (including scanning a book's barcode).
- The app previously saved my library card for quick access.

### Cons

- After the latest update, many users experience login problems: frequent logins, automatic logouts, and login loops.
- The app sometimes becomes unusable or keeps returning to the login screen after signing in.
- The app no longer remembers or supports switching between saved library cards/accounts.
- The My Borrowing page often shows inaccurate information and requires manual refresh to update.
- UI lacks dark mode, making it hard to read for some users.
