Reviews of SFPL

  • Multiple accounts missing

    I used to like this app a lot. It did all the things I wanted it to do for managing our family library accounts. That used to include being able to switch easily between my kid’s library account and my personal account conveniently within the app. At some point an update removed the ability to have multiple accounts. Now, I can have multiple cards, but there is no way to label whose is whose, and all the holds show under my name, and no matter which card I select, the borrowing history is on my account. This makes for very messy library borrowing management between what my kid borrows and what is for me. Please bring back multiple accounts within the app. (The log in, and log out process to change accounts is very inconvenient.)
  • New message alert shows up each log in

    Every time I log into the app, there’s a notification listed. The notification is to alert me to download the latest version of the app (which I already have). The alert used to say that it was from years ago (before I ever had the app) but now it says it’s from an hour ago. There is still no updated app and this same alert comes up every time I log in. The notification indicator goes away after I check it, but it’s back again each time I open the app again. Also, the digital books I’ve read or listened to don’t show up in the history (and no physical books do either) even though I have the setting set so that it should be showing up. Lastly, I can’t request books through link+ without going to the website.
  • It works well enough

    It get the job done to find books and place them on hold, but when I try and add some books to my completed area it sometimes doesn’t work on some books. But over all it’s a good app, but I would love a tab that gives you a genres.
