### 2/5 — Confusing App

*2023-11-25*

This app could be so useful- it is often not helpful even confusing.
The notifications of the item arriving at the library I request should be simple. 
Just tell me when the item ARRIVES. 
I don’t care it’s in transit!!

I have gone to the library multiple time because the wording of this app and the notifications in my email makes it look like the book has arrived and it has not. 

Please make this simple stupid!!!

### 4/5 — Wishing for more

*2023-03-05*

I like Clevnet overall. I like having all of Ohio in reach. I just need a Wish List in the app I.e., for future reading. I end up with a long list of Suspended Holds to keep a list of things I’m interested in but don’t want yet.

### 3/5 — Slow

*2023-02-22, version 2022.1.6*

Running so slow and not displaying correctly.

### 1/5 — Linked accounts and app support

*2022-12-28, version 2022.1.6*

When I click on app support it directs to nowhere
Linked accounts- unable to unlink to try and relying. Linked accounts do not show the checked out items and hold items.
Unable to send review - wanted a nickname and said all my suggestions were taken - remove that

### 1/5 — Used to be good

*2022-11-04, version 2021.1*

I used to love this app for checking holds and checkouts. Now I have so many problems. I have to log back in a lot or close and restart the app almost every time until it displays my checkouts and holds. Also sometimes it denies placing holds for multiple items but if I sign out and sign back in it will finally work. Too many steps just to quickly check my account.

### 3/5 — Add a List function

*2022-09-11, version 2021.1*

This app is fine for what it does—it’s great for searching for material available as physical and digital editions, across the libraries, Libby, and Hoopla. It tends to be a little slow to load your account, which is why I gave it 3/5, but when it’s loaded, it works perfectly. The only thing I would ask is to have a ‘wishlist’ function just for the user, similar to tagging in Hoopla and Libby, where the user can have a private list of materials they’d like to read next, especially for physical material, which can’t be saved in Libby/Hoopla. That would take this app to the next level in my opinion.

### 5/5 — Love this app. Cannot contact App Support

*2021-12-14, version 2021.1*

The current checkouts do not appear. It’s been a week or so like this. They do appear on the website though.

### 1/5 — Not working

*2020-05-23, version 2019.5*

The ClevNet app for iPad and iPhone are no longer working. I’ve lost items borrowed and can no longer download new items. When I try to download new items an error indicating that a server connection is not working.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2020-05-16, version 2019.5*

I used Overdrive with perfect success for at least a decade. Now it’s tapped into a different (Ohio?) Digital library and Clevenet just disappeared and something new called Libby appeared that is tied to Clevenet who just notified me via email that a book I wanted is in my Holds now and if I want it I must log in soon to accept it. Now I cannot login to Clevenet at all which keeps wanting to use Overdrive and I have no idea what my old formerly saved credentials are to type in to Clevenet. None of the password number suggestions worked either and the old info in my saved password doc isn’t working anymore either. Grrrrrrr!! Funny everything worked just fine less than 2 months ago when I placed the hold on the book. Of course it’s after midnight and I can’t reach anyone (and probably not tomorrow/Saturday either due to covid). I have wasted an hour over this nonsense.

### 2/5 — Better than BookMyne

*2020-02-16, version 2019.5*

I stopped using the Clevnet system when the switch to the truly awful BookMyne app was made.  This app, while better than the truly awful BookMyne app, is poorly laid out and lacks many of the features of the app prior to the truly awful BookMyne app.

To be noted: there appears to be active development of the Clevnet Libraries app with recent version changes 1, 5, and 11 months ago (as of 2/20) compared to the truly awful BookMyne app with version changes 3, 4, and 6 years ago.

Suggest changing “being held” to “ready for pick-up” if “being held” means only ready for pick-up.  “Being held” is, to my mind, the status that ensues immediately after I push the “place hold” button. “Ready for pick-up” means, well, read to be picked up without obvious ambiguity.

Suggest changing color scheme, or allowing color scheme changes for greater contrast, perhaps a dark-mode option.

Suggest aligning icons and text on home page for neatness sake and a more polished, professional look.

Suggest eliminating the neck-bending left sidebar in landscape mode with a matching landscape orientation for my home-base library.
