### 2/5 — Problem?

*2026-03-20*

Does not scan barcode for me.

### 5/5 — Library at your fingertips

*2024-10-07*

No tech issues for me and quite honestly an awesome app - practically and visually

### 2/5 — Can’t login anymore

*2023-09-25*

Nice visual refresh but the two things I regularly use this app for, holds and eCard are now broken. 

When I try to login it never gets to the point of asking me for a password, just hits a loading screen in a web view. I’m using a 2020 SE on the latest available version of  iOS 16.

Would also be great if the e-card wasn’t buried two or three screens deep, should be accessible from the main screen

### 1/5 — cant sign in

*2023-08-25*

I can’t sign in

### 3/5 — Wish I could sort by collection

*2023-08-23*

Unable to limit to picture books, non fiction ect makes it hard to look for appropriate content.

### 1/5 — Does not work

*2023-08-23*

I cannot log into this app at all, very disappointing seeing as I used the previous app all the time.

### 1/5 — Can’t Sign In!

*2023-08-21*

I also can’t sign in on my iphone 7 either! 😩

### 2/5 — Unable to sign in

*2023-08-18*

New app looks promising, but am unable to sign in on iPhone 7 (press Sign In button, nothing happens). But it logs in fine on my husband’s iPhone 6s.

### 1/5 — Upgrade fail

*2023-08-14*

The updated app is not functioning. I can’t sign in at all.

### 2/5 — Glitchy and clunky

*2023-01-27*

I use this app all the time as my library card and to place holds, look things up, etc. but it’s so slow and clunky. It takes ages to load anything. You can’t navigate from one book by an author to their other works  (i.e. by clicking the author’s name…), same for books in a series. It needs some work to be really useful.
