Unreliable

I love the idea of this app. Being able to easily access my library account, put books on hold, and search for new reads would be wonderful.

Unfortunately, I am about to abandon this app because it isn’t reliable. Most recently, I have been unable to use it for the past two weeks. It just hangs at the loading screen or gets to the choose library screen and does nothing after I enter my library. I’ve spent more time messing with the app trying to get it working than I would have just logging on to my library’s website.

It’s a shame, because when the app works it’s a powerful tool for library users that would make borrowing easier for patrons. I wish it was better maintained.

Rarely opens and everytime it does I have to constantly re-select my library

Anytime I try to open this app I get a perpetual spinning wheel. Occasionally (as in 1/10 tries) after a few minutes I’ll get to a page that says choose your library. Why?? I have already chosen my library multiple times already! The app should remember my choice. To make matters worse, this lastest time, my geolocation was set to somewhere in CA so I was getting a list of CA libraries. I’m in TX. The reset golocation button did nothing to help matters. This app is actually the worst. And to make matters worse, my library doesn’t offer physical cards so this app is the only way to access my card to check out books. Total rubbish!

Crashes on opening, after restart and after reinstall

I can't find any way to report this to the developer. I'm on an iPhone 14 Pro Max running iOS 26.5 and today (6/25) the app is crashing every time I open it. I've restored my phone, I've deleted and reinstalled the app.
