Failure to Launch…

Was eager to use the app once I discovered that access was available through my public library membership. Unfortunately, it took many attempts to get the app to locate my library system and once it did, the app wouldn’t accept my library card number (OverDrive and Hoopla had no issues doing the same). Your mileage with this app may vary… But I deleted it. If you have to pay for this app, don’t bother. But if, like me, your library offers access, might as well try to login. Other than that, I’d wait to see if they make the app actually work in future updates. Would be an excellent feature upgrade. You know, basic functionality…

Response from developer

We're sorry to hear that you encountered this issue with the Find My Library menu. However, I'm happy to report that the latest version of the app available for download includes an improvement to the service that powers Find My Library. We hope you'll check it out again now that this has been addressed! Additionally, if you find that your library card number isn't being accepted, we might recommend reaching out to your librarians, as they configure that barcode sign in along with EBSCO Technical Support. There's a chance that they may need to update the accepted card numbers with EBSCO. EBSCO Technical Support is available 24/7 to help make any necessary authentication changes for the library. Either way, thank you for checking out the app!

Need to delete app every three months or it hangs

It will hang on the ‘ thank you for logging In’ page and will not let you browse any mags

Otherwise fine

Please add dark mode option

Please add a dark mode option. Most all other magazine and book apps have this option.

Broken

No longer able to login even though my libraries are listed.

First timer

Took a while to figure out but love the options of magazines. Open and flip and expand pages. Cool!

Response from developer

Hey Moshi, we're glad you like the app! We're also happy to take any suggestions you might have about how to improve the user experience.

Stop signing me out!!!

Seriously, why do I need to login to this app once a week? It is so frustrating.

Terrible. Can’t read the text.

In text view, the text is so tiny it’s virtually unreadable. Lots of reviews complain about this but no response from developers in years! They don’t care! So app is only useful for the pdf which can be zoomed in.

Surprisingly, works great for me

It’s not the most polished application but the few magazines I do read were able to download fine. Overall very happy that this application works with my library

Simply crashes

The app crashes when I attempt to login to my corporate library.

App stuck in magazine

I cannot exit the magazine I downloaded.
