### 1/5 — Unable to use it at all

*2025-09-30*

I’m afraid this app is useless for me. 
I just downloaded the app and opened it, it shows nothing but a message “Unable to connect to server. Please make sure you have a network connection and try again later.” 
I doubt anyone is still updating and maintaining the app?

### 1/5 — App doesn’t work

*2025-05-28*

Worked great until the new update and now it won’t even open

### 1/5 — Awful changes

*2024-09-26*

You are now being forced to sign in to an account to do something as BASIC as to look something up. Please change this.

### 5/5 — New update is fire

*2024-09-20*

Like the new work guys, keep it up.

### 5/5 — The App’s Back

*2024-06-12*

Good to have it back. Thanks to everyone who worked on it.

### 1/5 — Banned from the APP? “Connection Error”

*2024-02-18, version 2022.2.2*

What’s going on Dakota County Library?
Will check in with the tech team to see why my App has been in failure since 11-10-2023.
Then will update my review. Thank you tech support in advance.

### 1/5 — Broken app

*2024-02-02*

Like many others are saying the app does not work anymore. I deleted the app and redownloaded it and now it errors out saying it can’t connect to the server. I would love for them to fix the app.

### 1/5 — App no longer works

*2024-01-30*

We used to use this app all the time and order books. For months now it has not worked. I have deleted and reloaded the app and still no success. It just says that it cannot access a server.

### 1/5 — Broken App

*2024-01-29, version 2022.2.2*

They must need to update the software, my app keeps crashing and saying I’m not connected to the server.

### 3/5 — Worked great, please fix it already

*2024-01-27*

Literally the most convenient app in my life, I love how I can put books on hold right from my phone. There was a glitch about a month ago and you guys still haven’t fixed it?? The whole government of Dakota county wasn’t able to put their braincells together to fix it?
