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. ### 1/5 — App doesn’t work 90% of the time *2026-06-15* 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. ### 1/5 — Oops on your part *2026-05-07, version 26.04.00* The latest app (forced) update renders the app unusable. ### 1/5 — Libby app *2026-04-13, version 26.03.00* The Libby app was better with this library ### 1/5 — Quits on filters *2026-04-07* 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! ### 3/5 — App crashing when filtering search results *2026-04-03, version 26.03.00* Date: 4/2/2026 CLEVNET libraries app (Version 26.03.00) Description: When searching for a title and then attempting to filter by author, the app crashes. How to reproduce: 1. Download and launch the CLEVNET app 2. Search for a title (Example: Harry Potter) 3. Click filter dropdown 4. Select author and CLEVNET app will crash Result: The CLEVNET app crashes when attempting to filter search results by author Expectation: The CLEVNET app for iOS does not crash when attempting to filter search results by author ### 1/5 — Slow and Buggy *2026-03-29* The latest version forces you through the same two random library facts while it loads every time you open the app. Buggy. No longer shows the pickup library when placing a hold. Everything an app shouldn’t be. ### 1/5 — Worthless *2026-03-28* What a piece of junk. Slow and locks up frequently. Whoever developed this should be ashamed of themselves. Search function doesn’t work half the time and the filters just freeze up. ### 3/5 — Unable to load self check settings *2026-01-30* App is pretty decent, but lately I can’t log in through the app and I have to log in through a web browser. Not sure if other people are having the same issues. ### 1/5 — Slow, difficult to use *2026-01-29* It’s extremely slow, it takes forever to open. Randomly denies me access to my account despite the Library saying my account looks fine. When you search for a type of book, it takes forever to load options, and often it doesn’t even show everything. I have typed in the exact title of a book that I knew was both in the catalog and in the app, and it didn’t come up. Whenever you go back, it completely deletes your search, and it doesn’t save the searches, so you have to retype it in all over again. You can’t connect your card to your account to pay off any fines, which is inconvenient. It doesn’t show you a preview of any book, so you can’t tell if it has pictures in it, what the pictures may look like, what the text looks like, what the writing is like, etc. You have to just take your chances by the cover. Everything is just slow and difficult to use. It truly feels like early 2000s Internet Explorer. The developers should not take pride in any “work” they have done on this app. It’s embarrassing. ## Frequently asked questions about CLEVNET Libraries App ### What can I do with the CLEVNET Libraries App?
