## Review summary

Reviewers find the app usable for core library tasks (holds, search, due dates) but reliability and feature gaps limit its usefulness. The app is easy to use and generally functional, yet users report frequent glitches, slowdowns, and connectivity issues, plus missing/altered features from the prior app (holds/requests, renewals, and To Read lists).

### Pros

- Easy to understand and easy to use.
- Strong core functionality for holds, searching, and checking due dates.
- Generally useful for managing checkouts and basic library tasks.

### Cons

- Frequent glitches, slow performance, and occasional blank screens.
- Server connectivity and sign-in problems requiring reinstallation or re-login.
- Missing or removed features from the previous app (no easy holds/requests workflow, no renewals count, no To Read list).
