Useless

Now, what in the hell is the purpose of this app if I’m redirected to a mobile website where I then have to sign in again and then I’m redirected to another site for an e-book where I then have to sign in again?

Edit: glitch fixed /[old:Broken]

Redownloading it fixed it. Thanks. App is solid.

[old review: Just have to write this because the app is currently broken. Message me when you fix it and I’ll change the review. I can’t renew my books. The page is simply blank. Now they’re overdue.]
