Why does the LAPL app still feel like it’s from iOS 7 and cobbled together with third-party interface elements? Why doesn’t it support longstanding iOS features, like notifications and Wallet?
I just downloaded LA County’s library app, and I’m stunned. It is *vastly* superior to LAPL’s. It supports modern features like Apple Wallet for the library card; notifications for holds, due items, events, and room reservations; and the interface feels modern/current and uses current, standard iOS interface elements.
I don’t expect a library app to offer features on the bleeding edge of tech, like an AI chatbot librarian or anything (though that would be really nice), but it should at least be keeping up with relevant features that the OS has offered within the past couple of years. If LA County can do it, LAPL can do it too. Come on.
