User Reviews

User reviews largely condemn WLS Mobile for reliability and performance: frequent logouts, slow loading, crashes and server errors, and broken search/filters producing irrelevant results. Several reviewers note login timeouts, difficulty staying signed in, and issues with cross-device use (iPhone vs iPad). A minority report occasional smooth experiences and a few note a minor Libby-related improvement (showing borrowed/holds). Overall, sentiment favors rolling back to the old app or fixing core login/search reliability before adding new features.

Pros

Occasional smooth operation: some users can log in and place holds without issues.
On some devices (iPhone), it can work fine for certain users.
Libby integration shows borrowed/holds statuses (a minor improvement).

Cons

App frequently logs out or does not stay logged in; login must be re-entered.
Very slow startup and response times; long to load and search.
Crashes and server errors; app crashes or shows server down messages.
Search and filtering not functioning; filters produce thousands of irrelevant results.
Inconsistent across devices (e.g., good on iPhone but not on iPad) and overall usability degraded vs the old app.

Recent reviews

The mobile app does not allow me to login when I put in my correct card number and password. We need to get something that actually works in this area. Please someone!

Very slow, does not show call numbers, or availability of items (checked out/ available). Search filters don’t work. Much worse than the previous app.

Why do they keep dropping worse versions of this app with each iteration? Seriously, the best was 2 apps ago during the pandemic. With the latest version released 1/2025 you can’t filter your search at all. Many titles are available as book, ebook, dvd, Blu-ray, or soundtrack. Not to mention multiple different items with the same title. Hence, the point of a filter. It’s completely useless and generates thousands of hits that are irrelevant to the keyword provided even when you select filter by title, dvd, or anything else. Might as well search using a desktop. The only slight improvement from previous versions, which adds no value to me is now the app indicates what titles I have borrowed or on hold via Libby. Not a good trade off in my view. The app was so good before, why was it revised and ruined?
