### 4/5 — Love

*2018-05-08, version 2.1.1*

I love this app! Unfortunately though I can not use it after the last Apple update, because the app hasn’t been updated to be compatible with iOS 11. I’m so bummed this app is still no longer available. I haven’t been able to use it for months now.

### 1/5 — Not Updated for iPad

*2018-04-17, version 2.1.1*

I use this app in my school library every day, and students love to use it to search the catalog. Unfortunately, the developers haven’t updated it and it is not compatible with the most recent iPad update. Please get on this! You are losing the kids fast!

### 3/5 — Great App....but needs to be updated

*2018-02-06, version 2.1.1*

I loved this app because it was like carrying my school library in my pocket, BUT, once I updated my iPad, it stopped working. It needs to be updated soon.

### 4/5 — Update please!

*2017-11-25, version 2.1.1*

Love the app, but you need to update for the new version of iOS so I can keep loving it!

### 5/5 — Not compatible with iOS 11

*2017-11-13, version 2.1.1*

I love using this app, but cannot access anymore since I updated to iOS 11. 😭

### 1/5 — Update needed!

*2017-10-04, version 2.1.1*

I loved this app, but I can no longer use it. This app has not been updated in 3 years and is no longer compatible with the current Apple software updates.

Are there plans for an update to be released? I would really like to be able to use this app again. It was super helpful.

### 5/5 — Update

*2017-09-29, version 2.1.1*

Please update the app is it can be compatible with iOS 11!

### 5/5 — Please update soon

*2017-09-23, version 2.1.1*

I want to update to iOS11 soon and this app is not compatible with the new update. Please update the app. I use this for school. It's a great app though.

### 4/5 — Library in my pocket!

*2017-08-30, version 2.1.1*

I love having the Quest app on my phone and encourage my staff and students to do the same. It makes it so simple to see if we have a title and if it's available. My newer staff are all about using it...so much better than having a child come to the library with a title scribbled on a Post-it note! 
Apple is fussing lately, saying it needs to be updated - maybe not compatible with the newer versions of iOS. That's the only reason I'd give this a 4/5.

### 5/5 — Easy resource to save time

*2016-12-27, version 2.1.1*

Great app for searching and holding titles at my local library to save me time before I go again. Helps to not forget titles I want by adding them to my list. Can also see what I have out, when it is due (able to renew it as well), and any fines I may have.
