Logout Issues

Please correct the issue that is causing this app to continually logout iPhone users. The app loses much of its utility when patrons can no longer rely on it for their electronic library card, because you have to keep the physical card with you at all times in order to constantly log back in to the app. Multiple DML librarians have confirmed to me that this is a widespread issue, with many complaints from patrons, so I’m not sure why this ongoing issue has not been addressed.

Previous due date info on hold copies now missing

I miss the old versions of this app where I could see the due dates of each copy of each library book that is out when I place a hold on that book. Knowing about how long I have to wait for that copy helps me decide whether to use another source, like Libby or buying the book, or whether I can wait it out. Since this app update, that feature was removed and it’s now a complete mystery if the copy you’re waiting for is due in 1 day or due in 6 weeks.

LOVE ❤️ Dayton Metro Library App

I have been using this app for months, and I can't think of a single thing to even improve it, much less complain about! We're heavy library users, and the app is flawlessly making our Requests, Searches, My Lists, etc. effortless to execute and maintain. A nice extra are the digital library cards. Even the layout is clear and easy to use. Info about the various branches is quickly accessible too. It's better in numerous ways than Libby and Overdrive apps. Our family loves this app. Please don't change a thing! 😍

Only half-working

There is no longer a way to back out of the different menu options. You have to get back to home and start over. So if you want to make a search, you need to redo it from scratch if you click on a book from the results. And now today, the search no longer works all. Says there is issue on their end.

Was amazing now not so much

Worked so well for so long but lately it’s been crashing a lot and now when you choose a book to look at in the catalog the option to hit the return button doesn’t work
