Limited to adults only
Teens don’t carry wallets or cards anymore, don’t want to pay $5 for a card but can’t use the app as it’s only available to people over 17
Do not update your app!! Lost reading list
This app was pretty good managing things and finally brought out reading lists which made it great. However the latest update has lost the reading lists and now I don’t have any of my saved lists anymore. If you’re reading this, don’t update your app if you value your reading lists!
Good app, but forgets linked accounts
App is very useful overall. I love the linked account feature. One criticism is that every few days it “forgets” the linked accounts and I have to re add them.
Won’t let me sign in
Tells me my credentials aren’t recognised when I literally just got a library card today and like I got a pin for it and it tells me it literally doesn’t recognise the credentials like really annoying so I can’t actually look at anything in the catalogue so if I want to put a book on hold, I can’tthere’s a book. I really need to hold. I can’t even do that. Won’t even let me login.

Great concepts
I really love this app, especially after the new update.
Positives: everything is in one place, (mostly) seamless
Negatives: reading tracker never works (cannot log time, but still great idea), app signs out unexpectedly, no app notifications for holds or overdue books

Better!!!
I never review apps but whoever decided to update the library app I LOVE YOU THANK YOU BECAUSE GOSH DID THIS APP NEED AN UPDATE. It is so much more satisfyingly usable now and just aesthetically looks better. As a side request, I would love to be able to see my Holds history! Hugs to whoever got this thing updated!!

Bug needs fixing
Great app & recent improvements, but there seems to be a bug that doesn’t allow barcode & library card to upload to Apple Wallet.
not working ios16.5
app has been unstable since Jan 2023, now May 2023 still bog-slow, not loading images, biggest issue is that it is unable to complete a search. Seems to be incompatible with Lockdown mode. Nearly all apps work perfectly in Lockdown mode; this app appears to be an exception
Excellent
So easy - I keep my card on it can place a hold just by searching for the book and look up my loans.
Needs a favourite option
Please please add an option to save and/or favourite a book in a list without requesting a hold for an item.
Good but needs extra functionality
The app is really handy and very user friendly however like most of the other reviewers I think it would be improved by the addition of a Favourite Books List and a Wish List of books you would like to read. This would be useful to keep track of good books that can be read again and books to borrow in the future. These features would be especially handy to keep track of my kids preferences.

Never loads the page to reset PIN
I’ve tried over and over to reset my PIN both on the website and using this App. The page starts loading and just stops at 10%. Tried uninstalling and reinstalling. Restarted my phone. Closing all the Apps. No difference. Unusable app.
Great start, needs polishing
So this app is pretty good, let’s you place holds, renew, and borrow all on the app without having your physical card. To make it more finished and a 5 star, the designers should add a future reading list, which users can fill with future books. I have maybe 50 books I want to borrow/read eventually, but there is no way on the app to keep track of that. They should also add a reviews section, where people can review the books they have read and perhaps this could link to recommendations to similar books? I also think a history section where you can see the books you have borrowed in the past would be a useful feature.
Like I said it’s a good app, and far better than no app, but it needs a few more features to really become a 5 star app

Pretty good
Easy to manage checkouts and holds - would be 5 star if I could keep a ‘want to read’ list.
Finally, a Brisbane library App!
I use the Brisbane Library site all the time to place holds and search the catalogue. Happy to finally have that in an app. Suggestions for future updates- add the ability to tag books to read in future.
Very good, just the holds
This is a very good app, but you can only put 20 holds and I would like to place more holds please. Also the best library app!!!
Convenient, great linked accounts feature but not very stable
I love the function of linked accounts, very convenient to manage holds and checkouts across accounts in our family. Thank you development team for come up with such great feature. I just found that the linked accounts constantly got removed automatically after a while and I always had to add them back again. This looks like a bug, would be great if it could be looked into. Thanks.

Display issues
Splash screen doesn't display correctly on my iPhone SE. Menus/tiles overlap.
SO useful
I forgot our library cards, only realising at the library with a little one 20 mins from home. I was able to use the app to scan the barcode of any 3 of our cards (my parent card or either of my kids’ cards) to check out books. You can also see which ones you have out and any holds. So so useful 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
