User Reviews

Users generally praise BKLYN Library for being easy to use and feature-rich, with camera-based checkout, ebooks, and digital library card. However, reliability concerns recur: frequent sign-in issues, blank screens, and slow performance that often require reinstall. When functioning, the app enables quick holds/renewals, multi-account management, and helpful search, making it a strong library companion despite intermittent faults.

Pros

Easy to use and intuitive, with fast workflows for finding, requesting, and checking out books.
Camera/ISBN barcode scanning enables quick checkout and placing holds.
Strong support for ebooks in the app, plus reading history, lists, and recommendations.
Digital library card on the phone and straightforward account management (holds, renewals, multiple accounts).
Improved search and overall functionality compared to the old app, with reliable navigation.

Cons

Frequent login/out issues: users are being signed out and must log in again, sometimes losing other accounts.
Blank screens or the app not loading, making it basically unusable until reset.
Performance slowdowns and buffering when checking out or navigating, sometimes requiring reinstall.
Redirections to external mobile sites that cause extra sign-ins and friction.

Now, what in the hell is the purpose of this app if I’m redirected to a mobile website where I then have to sign in again and then I’m redirected to another site for an e-book where I then have to sign in again?
