  • Doesn’t work at all?

    The app loads all the data about the books and their availability, but I can’t place a hold. In any library location. I’m super disappointed because this makes it a lot harder for me to find the books I want to read, and it’s a lot worse then the last app. I like the design tho?
  • Bad catalogue search

    App looks ok but it is useless bc the catalogue does not seem to be properly loaded in. A search for two books came up empty in the app, but the books could be found on the website catalogue. This seems pretty basic to have functioning before release, no? Considering you waited months to roll out.
  • Missing Libraries

    I can’t request items for the Crown Heights branch, or as someone else pointed out the Park Slope branch. I wonder how many other branches were left off...
  • Terrible

    This ap need improvement as soon as possible Almost cannot use library catalog search. Old traditional website was much better
  • Nope

    Super ugly, and not being able to see ebooks with other checked out material is stupid.
  • App is actually worse than before

    This app is such a disappointment. Search function is useless, no ability to look for newly released books or to search by genre. I’ve waited so long for this app to come back, and I’m deleting it immediately. What a shame!
  • Unable to find books

    I can't figure out why, but when I search for books on the app almost nothing is available, but when I check the website they are there. Would love to be able to use the app instead.
  • Not functional at all

    You know what would be cool? If the app reflected the actual BPL catalog. Waste of space on my iPhone.
  • When will Park Slope Branch be included.

    No Park Slope Branch.
  • Works great but

    But for some reason the park slope branch isn’t included so you can’t request items to be delivered there. Have to use website for that.
