Reader view needs work

Please improve the reader functionality as highlighted in reviews/comments by other users. Thanks!

Too small to read

How are people even using this? It’s like a website that hasn’t been updated for phone size.

Can’t login

Can’t login to app on iPad, but am currently logged in on my iPhone. Why can’t I ever successfully get a login loaded to my iPad. I’d love to actually use this app on my iPad because looking at magazines on the bigger screen is just, well duh easier.

Generally good, but text view needs work...

I have generally been happy with this app. It’s a great way to take advantage of my public library. The one critique I would offer is that the text view needs some work. It would be great to have the ability to adjust the font size, the font itself, and the margins. Right now, the font size is fixed and rather small. This is a problem for anyone with any kind of impaired vision, i.e. anyone over 50 with glasses.

Adding the ability to increase the font size as well as increase the margins would vastly improve use ability for the app. Margins are important as well because the line length is too long at smaller font sizes.

Usability is minimal

It shows me one magazine.

Can’t change font size

I like this app for being able to read magazine but it lacks some basic features. In Text Mode, the text is so small that I can barely read it and there is no way to change the size of the font. Not good for older people who like to read magazines.

Need bigger font sizes

I like that my library offers this. One of the things I must have is ability to customize my font size. In text view there is no option. The text in text view is way too small for my old eyes.

Also when I use the table of contents to navigate to articles, it needs to remember where I was and not jump all the way back to the top of the table of contents.

I would also like the ability to share articles with others via Facebook, message, or email.

Please allow font size changes ...

Please increase usability by allowing the
1. Changing of font sizes in text view,
2. Choice of single page or dual page view in landscape mode,
3. Usability of reading experience in portrait mode without having to choose text view.
The Kindle app should be your guide.
Thank you.

Used to work

This app used to work great. It had a large number of magazines to download. Now I’m unable to download anything including magazines I was able to download previously. Also, it would be nice to see what issues you have already read.

Love my library!

Great selection and able to access my selection for days!!
