Unusable

This app went from awful to unusable. It used to log me out, forget my library, be slow, and have a horrible search function to now, staying stuck on the loading screen. An error pop up jumps up while loading but is on screen for so short a time I can’t even read or understand what it’s saying. I was excited to see that this awful app that I used to be able to somewhat use to reserve books was being updated (June 25, 2026). Hooray! Maybe it’ll work. Nope. Now, it’s completely broken. Makes me think a private equity fund bought the library and is now in the process of aggressively asset stripping one of the things that actually used to work.

App doesn’t work 90% of the time

Please fix this app! It crashes everytime I open it and errors out, and I’m logged out every single time it does manage to load. People have been complaining in the reviews for over a year now.

Oops on your part

The latest app (forced) update renders the app unusable.

The Libby app was better with this library

Quits on filters

Logs me out constantly. App crashes every time I try to use a filter. When placing a hold the options for location no longer appear in a scroll menu. Bring back the old app please!
