Awful outdated app
Holds and Loans never load without timing out. Very outdated UI/UX. You’re better off just going to LAPL website via Safari.
Its actually quite surprising that a world leading public library system has such an awful app. LAPL is the gold standard amongst public systems, and the app doesn’t match this level of service / reputation.

Please add Landscape support
For all of us that us this app on a tablet, having it limited to portrait orientation is clunky. Landscape orientation would be much more useful, so please add it.
The LA County Library app supports landscape mode, as do other smaller municipal systems.

Not competitive
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.

Love the library but not this app
LA Public Library is one of a kind, but the functionality of this problematic. I can’t change the status of holds or borrowed books from the app. It tells me I’ve changed the status but nothing changes. Feeling helpless
Slow loading
Not sure if I’m the only one having this issue, but the app takes quite some time to load, especially when it comes to My Account.
Bug
Noticed that when I go to view my records to check on what I have checked out it only shows twenty items checked out. But I know this is wrong because I have more than twenty items checked out. When I check my account through the website it shows the correct amount of items checked out which I thirty

Good, could use an update
Wish it had a “My List” (saved wishlist) function like the web version does.
Apple Wallet and search
Please add support for Apple Wallet for the user’s library card. If possible, please include the ability to have the card in Apple Wallet automatically pop up as a suggestion on the Lock Screen when the user gets close to library branches. For an example of this, look at the Starbucks app.
Also, the search results don’t match those on the website. Searching for a term on the website that brings up over 3,900 results when filtered to one branch receives an error of “No Results” in the app for the same search term and the same filter for the same branch.
