### 1/5 — DoD spends $$$$ on this?!?!

*2023-02-18*

1st as an educator - while concise, this is the most “unfriendly” website, application I’ve ever used.  
2nd as a disabled veteran - due to neurological issues I listen to audiobooks & enjoy a number of online libraries.  For 4 years I’ve attempted to use this (iOS, android & on windows) hoping someone would fix the ‘bugs’.  Similar to a small fee in an account - I guess MWR & DoD have ‘forgotten’ about this and might want to reconsider the next contract. Pathetic.

### 1/5 — App doesn’t work

*2022-08-30, version 2.01*

This has got to be the worst app I’ve tried, it’s like going back to DOS!  Too bad my library system is stuck with you.

### 1/5 — doesn’t work.. says audio book expired

*2022-08-15, version 2.01*

the audio book i JUST checked out (and have to read for school, on a deadline) is inaccessible because it says it is “expired”. on the site, it says i checked it out with FOUR minutes remaining… this app doesn’t work at all

### 1/5 — Can't Login

*2022-07-08, version 2.01*

App refuses to login running iOS 15.5. Please fix!

### 1/5 — This site doesn’t work

*2022-01-10, version 2.01*

How can you call yourself an educational tool and you don’t work! This is horrible! I can’t log in from my iPhone, but shocker people have been saying this for over 6 months now and yet and still today it’s the same problem! I’m complaining this don’t make no sense at all! I’m sure you get paid too! Educational tool my foot!

### 1/5 — Glitchy

*2021-10-21, version 2.01*

Won’t let me log in on app. It takes me back to the website and then I can’t access the audio book I borrowed or even return it because the app is glitchy.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2021-10-20, version 2.01*

Useless loop of login and download

### 1/5 — Would not login

*2021-10-12, version 2.01*

I see that the same issue was there from a review 2 yrs ago, but still not fixed. Could not login to the app.

### 1/5 — Won’t work on iPhones running 14.7.1

*2021-08-25, version 2.01*

Please update this app so that it will work on my iPhone. I’ve liked this before, but am beyond frustrated with it now. It simply won’t let me log in…and since my subscription is through Military Onesource, I cannot even give feedback directly to EBSCO except through this review. Please read these reviews and help us.

### 1/5 — Login impossible

*2021-07-26, version 2.01*

Opened app and clicked Login. Browser opens, go through google credentials (always error on first attempt). Second attempt works, so return to app and begin again…and again…
