User Reviews

SFPL offers a broad, free audio catalog and convenient account management, but users report recurring reliability and UX issues: logins repeatedly drop, the app crashes or lags, search/navigation sometimes fails, and updates can reduce functionality. Users also want features like dark mode and better ongoing maintenance. Overall value remains high for the catalog, but consistency and usability need significant improvement.

Pros

Large catalog of audiobooks available for borrowing for free through the SFPL app
Convenient to manage holds, renewals, and library accounts in one place
Avoids needing to visit the SFPL website for many tasks; mobile-friendly workflow

Cons

Frequent login/logout issues: the app does not retain login and logs users out
Stability and performance problems: crashes, lag, and slowdowns especially after updates
Search and navigation problems: errors when clicking links and search results failing or missing
Poor update quality/maintenance: updates degrade functionality or are infrequent
Missing feature requests like dark mode (and related enhancements)
