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. ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-03-19, version 2026.02.01* 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. ### 3/5 — Acceptable for basic functions *2025-08-04, version 2025.06.00* 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. ### 5/5 — Nearly Perfect for Routine *2025-06-16, version 2025.06.00* 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. ### 1/5 — No ebooks *2025-05-20, version 2025.05.01* The app doesn't have any ebooks available in the search results, but they turn up when you search the catalog through the website. It's such a useless app. ### 1/5 — Due date not in order *2025-03-21, version 2025.03.01* The due date is not organized by earliest due item at top! ### 4/5 — Good App *2025-03-14, version 2025.03.01* Great, basic App for tracking library activity. Would be even better if you could keep a reading list or queue up books without placing them in hold. ### 5/5 — New and Greatly Improved! *2025-02-28, version 2025.03.00* A recent upgrade has made ALL the difference! First, it just looks so much better and friendlier. I love the carousel of new books and it’s easier now to register for programs and events. Nice job Allegheny Libraries (specifically Cooper-Siegel!) ### 4/5 — App stopped working- won’t even open *2024-08-06, version 1.0.11* 7/13/24 What happened?? I used to love this app and used it often. Now it won’t open. 😡 UPDATE 8/6/24 I uninstalled and reinstalled the app and it appears to be working now. Not sure why this was necessary. Hopefully there won’t be more trouble. ### 1/5 — App will not open now *2024-08-03, version 1.0.11* The application used to work fine and now it tries to open and then closes again. No messages, nothing. Please fix this asap. ## Frequently asked questions about Allegheny County Libraries ### What can I do with the Allegheny County Libraries app?
