Link stops working

Link stops working

Keeps losing the linked account

The app is generally pretty useful. One feature I use a lot is linked accounts - so you can administer the books borrowed by other people in your family by linking their library cards to yours. But in recent months the app has started to lose these links. You add a linked account, it works, then next time you use the app it’s gone again. I must now have added back the same linked account hundreds of times. It just happens randomly - not every time, but the majority of the time. It’s infuriating. Please, if you ever touch this app again Edinburgh Libraries - and judging by the 13 year old reviews, you’ve forgotten it even exists - please fix this awful bug. Thanks.

Can’t use it to reserve a book

This app has not been well tested. I get an invalid date error when I try to reserve a book. It’s such a shame! Please fix!

Poor

Pretty useless as far as my (personally) most used functionality is concerned. You cannot add to or even view your wishlist in app.

Reservation Queue Number

App does the job but I'd just like to know how far down the queue I am with my reservation for a book I've been waiting to read for a while.
