September 17th update broke app

This app was never fantastic but it worked well enough for my purposes until this update. Now I can’t search the catalog or even see which holds I have open. Seems to be an unfortunate case of developers fixing a bug and creating a few more with the solution.

Desperately in need of an upgrade

This app is awful and I've heard the same from local librarians. Searching the catalog is completely senseless. The filters are hardly useful. Searching for the book you need from the results returned is also awful. Not sure how a search for Kafka resulted a children's movie about dinosaurs. There's no option to add your library card to apple wallet (at least at CLP), extremely frustrating. No dark/night mode is available and the bright white screen is awful to look at- and not accessibility friendly. The app crashes regularly during search, usually right as I find what I need. This may have passed in 2010 but these days we need to step it up! I love my library, do better.

Great app

I haven’t had any crashes or problems with this app. It lets you place holds on physical books. Under digital resources, it has a link for the Libby app, which is great for Kindle books.

The biggest improvement I can think of would be to have a wishlist so you don’t have to place a hold.

Acceptable for basic functions

This app is fine for basic things like quick catalog searches and self checkout, but it could be a lot better if it exposed some of the other features from the library website like shelves and reviews.

Nearly Perfect for Routine

Solid app if you are using it for the general things like placing a hold, seeing what position you are in line for a hold, checking what books they have available, etc. The only negative is that the search engine they have does not come up with good results of what you are looking for on occasion.
