Leave a Review Libraries SA App
Restricted to 17+???
Hi.
The app is good and offers the features you need to interact with the library. My concern is that it’s rated as a 17+ app. Why? The library is offering access to library cards to children under this age group, why can’t they have access to the app to manage their loans and holds with the library?Show lessTracerB

It’s good that the library is keeping up to date with having the card barcode so you don’t have to take the physical card with you.
Would be good to be able to change your details on the app, like address, email, phone number, and your notification preferences (to avoid going into the library just for this).
It would also be good to have a section to submit feedback to the library (I would like to let them know that the new digital magazine reader is terrible compared to the previous).
Good app but would be nice to see the above improvements.Show lessej.
OK - but
Great at finding books in the libraries system and ordering them, but let down by the ebook reading experience.
You cant go to full page view and are stuck with menu bars etc across the top which is really distracting. Should be able to get rid of any clutter so you can focus on the content.
No menu bars on a real book page.
No option to adjust font size or typeface. I know you cant do it on a book, but hey, this is the digital age and all the other readers have done that for years. Where is the commitment to accessibility?
Ebook part of it very poorly implemented.Show lessmartciel
Statuses of items on hold are not clear
It is greasy to be able to search and place books on hold, however...
As a user, I want to know what the status of my book is when I look at the list of items I have requested.
All names seem meaningless: AVAILABLE, BEING HELD, PLACED
When I asked at the library they told me these where more statuses from the library perspective, not the user.Show lessIt-shepa
Happy little vegemite
Love using this app for reading books and audio books offline. I also like being able to defer books if I am not ready for them allowing someone else the opportunity to borrow them first while I stay in line.Balfoursmith
Good but could be better
I find I am using the outdated BookMyne app instead because that at least tells me if an item is in transit. Seeing a status of Placed tells me nothing. I don’t know if I’m likely to be waiting a week or a year. Please improve by 1. Allowing In Transit status to be displayed, 2. Add my place in the list (yes I know the concerns - just add a disclaimer that the order may change) - at least this way I can make a judgement on whether to keep holding onto book 3 while waiting for book 2, and 3. Add in My ListsShow lessRedEyeLoon70
Really happy but
Really happy being able to hold books as well as keep track of everything and I absolutely love having a digital card. The only down side it that it cuts my music whenever I get into the app which is quite annoying. Would also love to see the status of my hold like ‘in transit’ or what place in line I am.Show lessLozamadoobi
Recent updates
Love the app but noticed that my music player on my iPad stops playing when I open the app. Otherwise love being able to borrow from my library without using the card. CheersHumphreyBB2014
Update
Yes a good app but every time I open it on my iPad I get asked to upgrade. It’s getting a bit frustrating.
Any ideas in why this keeps happening.Pamelage101
Great App
Easy to use, my card is with me all the time and I can manage everything via my phone!
Well done SA Libraries!Lara01
