## Most critical reviews (5 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Useless login screen

*2025-05-08*

The app login forces the numerical keyboard with no option to switch to text, assuming no one changes their four-digit library account PIN to a longer, more secure alphanumeric password. 

This is absolute amateur hour app development, making it impossible for me to log in to my library account.

### 1/5 — Unable to connect to server

*2023-12-22, version 2022.2.2*

For the last few weeks, I just get an “unable to connect to server” error message when I try to launch this app. I’ve tried uninstalling and reinstalling, and still get the same error. I was excited to see this library had an app, but it’s disappointing that it doesn’t work.

### 1/5 — Utterly Useless

*2023-12-11, version 2022.2.2*

I haven’t been able to search for anything with this app because there’s always an error accessing the catalog. It’s rendered useless.

### 2/5 — Not easy to find catalogue items

*2021-07-25, version 2021.1*

The library’s catalog is probably its most important resource. It took me about 20 minutes to find the catalog search. Yea, pictures and events are nicely laid out, but put a ‘search catalog’ button on the home page for those of us who look for books, DVDs, etc.

### 4/5 — Server access issues seem to have resolved

*2025-01-15, version 2024.25*

I use this app primarily to scan barcode when checking books out. Was surprised at the bad ratings and read them to see what I was missing. I was able to search and find books in the catalog and place a hold, so I think it’s working pretty well (for now at least).
