### 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.

### 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!

### 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.

### 4/5 — Nice App

*2016-01-26, version 2.1.1*

I like this app a lot, but wish that the "My List" section gave the possibility of putting books into separate lists or folders!

### 4/5 — Fix it plz

*2015-02-20, version 2.1.1*

It won't let me place a book on hold I checked with my librarian and I did what she said but still won't work. Plz fix it I will so give 5 star if u do thx!!!

### 5/5 — Good app

*2015-02-17, version 2.1.1*

This is great to find books and all that and to put your favorite books on hold but it would be cool if they would let us read the, on our iPads

### 5/5 — The game

*2015-02-03, version 2.1.1*

I think destiny is great and never give up on your dreams and god bless you all

### 5/5 — Best school app in the world

*2015-01-30, version 2.1.1*

I'm loving the books

### 5/5 — Great app

*2015-01-13, version 2.1.1*

Great for all students and teachers to see what the library has.

### 5/5 — ITS AWESOME

*2014-12-30, version 2.1.1*

It is just the best app. You should download it. Also now I could hold a book in the library now with this app. You could also put things in want to read or other stuff. It is just a cool,awesome, and amazing app.

### 4/5 — Great but...

*2014-11-13, version 2.1.1*

This is awesome and really good, love that my school chose this!! I recommend this to all librarians and students. But...it's missing a lot of things that the computer has. Like, I can't add friends on the app, only on computer...so just add that option 😊

### 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!

### 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.

### 1/5 — So stupid

*2016-06-11, version 2.1.1*

So the whole point of an app is so you do not need to use the browser. The only way to read in this "book app" is to go to the browser. This makes no sense to me😂. Get your stuff together. We should be able to read in this app. This app is pointless and serves less of a purpose than the browser.

### 1/5 — Stupid book reports

*2015-12-29, version 2.1.1*

I have no idea how to work this thing! I am trying to download an ebook for a stupid book report I have to do! I hate doing book reports! (I am not using stupid emojis to display my anger)

### 1/5 — This is so stupid

*2015-02-12, version 2.1.1*

This app is supposed to let you read books with out going to the library ,right. But it doesn't even let you read anything. If a book is out on the
"digital" version you still can't get the book. It's digital that means no paper and no material. What I'm trying to say here is that if your library has a paper book it should be a digital book to and I mean every book. I would give this rating zero stars but I can't

### 1/5 — Version Issues

*2015-01-29, version 2.1.1*

I just downloaded version 2.1.1. When I try to open, error message says a newer version is available and for me to download that. Shuts down.

### 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.

### 3/5 — Good but could be great!

*2016-09-04, version 2.1.1*

Great beginning but needs more development. Students need to be able to see the Sublocation of a book. Many libraries have genrefied their fiction. Simple call number isn't enough! Please add this feature!

### 3/5 — Cool

*2015-01-15, version 2.1.1*

It always makes checking out books easy quick and simple

### 3/5 — Great! But confusing...could be better.

*2014-10-11, version 2.1.1*

This app is great...really. But confusing. I can't figure out how to rate the books. Also there is only so many books they show you. I'm a girl that likes to browse title I'd be interested in but they only show a top ten and new arrivals. It would be better if they inserted a button for categories and filters to put on...

### 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. 😭

### 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.

### 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.

### 5/5 — Best school book catalog that exists

*2016-11-07, version 2.1.1*

Love it if Ur school has a website u can use dis. This is by far the best school app on my iPad besides Wunderlist

### 5/5 — Thank you

*2016-09-20, version 2.1.1*

Love how it tells me when my books are due so i don't need to remember so often I can just look at the app

### 5/5 — Awesome apps

*2015-12-18, version 2.1.1*

I could look up any book I want!!!!!!  :)

### 5/5 — Awesome app

*2015-11-22, version 2.1.1*

This is an awesome app you can hold a book from you library, also you can see when the book or books are due. This app also has your account and tells you when your book or books are overdue and how much you owe your library.

### 5/5 — Way cool

*2015-10-30, version 2.1.1*

I like how you can see all the library books.

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2015-04-29, version 2.1.1*

It helps me in school and at home to find more books I can check out.
