It’s great

It’s great, I have been having issues with the app with not informing library about books I would like to loan, but that have seem to be all fix now

Brilliant app

Fab app. Does what it’s supposed to do. I’d like the option to have multiple cards on it for the kids but it’s ok as it always.

Looks like it’s working again.

After a long, long time it looks like this app is back working.
Hurrah !!!

..........I wrote too soon !

It has just been updated. I should have left well enough alone !

Like another reviewer I have iOS 12.5.7 on my iPad. The app developers say this app works on iOS 11.0 and above.
Guess what, it doesn’t !

Well done Essex Library, you picked a β€œright” developer !

Can’t access app on my iPad

Until about a week ago I could access the app ok, now I can’t .

I’m running iOS 12.5.7 which I know is old but you shouldn’t have to upgrade just to use this app

Yay it’s working!

This was one of my most used apps before it stopped updating and showed books on loan that I had returned months before so I deleted it. Just seen it seems to be working 🀞🏼it’s really useful to search and reserve items
