  • Sick of having to log in

    While extremely happy with the function, the last update has become too fancy & “glitzy” for the average user. I am also very sick & tired of having to log in at least fortnightly & this week 3 times.!!!!!
    Major issue with the developers.
  • Old app worked well, latest iteration won’t even open.

    Congratulations, developers, you’ve just locked out an entire community of people who don’t have, need, or maybe just not want the latest tech and updates needed to make your shiny new, divisive, and clearly elitist app will work. Slow clap goes here.
  • Provision for linked member doesn’t work

    Very poor app. Works OK for checking one person’s history, but if you link someone else to your account they cannot check their details easily at all. App needs a lot of work !
  • Terrible

    This new update and new look is terrible. It is not user friendly and doesn’t make sense. I will try to avoid using it until it changes. Not a fan!

    This app is so bad now. You can’t even see information about the item you would like to borrow, like the songs on a CD for instance, that’s if you can even find the item you are looking for at all. Useless, completely useless.

  • The app update doesn’t work

    I just missed out on a book I had been waiting three months for because the app did not show that the book was available to download. I check the app at least once a day, and it just showed it was ‘waiting’ ie waiting to become available. I am beyond angry!
  • No option to turn on notifications

    This app used to be fabulous! I’d get a notification when held books were available or if checked out items were overdue. Now, there’s no option to turn on notifications (including in phone settings, the app itself, or in desktop account), meaning holds are missed constantly. The emails that are sent out seem to arrive 2 days before a hold expires and with reduced opening hours, it’s difficult to get into libraries during business hours. There are parts of the app that simply never load and the spinning wheel of doom just goes on and on and on. Not sure why such a fantastic app has become so poor over the last year :(

  • Faulty update

    Since recent update the ‘limit to’ filter at the bottom of the screen is obstructed’ making it hard to change from my home library to all libraries.
  • Love the new app icon

    I really like the new app icon. It makes it easier to spot the app amongst hundreds of apps I have on my phone.
  • Language options - Bork!

    I have just rejoined my library after a long break, and love the digital card option.

    I have only used the app for 5 minutes, but already my favourite feature is that in my language options I can select “Bork, bork, bork!” as my language, and it changes all menu options to the word Bork…!!

    To add to my delight, I am now Mrs Hurdy! Lovely nod to the Swedish chef, but why this is an option in a library app I have no idea…! 😆 5 stars for entertainment value!

  • Ancestry Link Has Gone?

    Great resource but what happened to the Ancestry link in the Online Resources Page?
