### 4/5 — Easy app to use but…

*2023-05-07*

Dear HCPLC app developers, this is my wish:  besides putting a book on hold, could you please add a choice to put it on a user defined list? I love that I can be in a store and scan the barcode of a book so see if it’s in your catalog, but I don’t necessarily want to put it on hold right away. I guess I’m wanting your app to be like the Goodreads app. In my Goodreads account I’ve added the option to connect to HCPLC but I’d like to just cut to the chase and be able to do it on your app. Thank you in advance!

### 5/5 — I LOVE THIS APP

*2023-01-21*

Thank you very much for such a cheap user friendly option to listen and find books

### 4/5 — It works!?

*2021-10-05*

Very pleasantly surprised to see they finally updated to a working app! Thank you!

### 1/5 — Worst app ever

*2020-12-07*

It isn’t even worth having an app that is 100% unusable.

### 4/5 — My experience

*2020-07-08*

This app is very useful and helpful, my only complaint is that it is very slow sometimes to the point of frustration, but, besides that I think it works well, every one else’s comments are a bit dramatic in my opinion

### 1/5 — Terribly slow

*2020-03-15*

I go to use this app, get frustrated because it is so slow, and usually end up going to the website on my laptop. Wish they would improve performance.

### 1/5 — One of the worst professional apps I’ve ever used

*2019-07-26*

I feel a little cheated that my county tax dollars went towards hiring this company to make something that doesn’t work at all.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t Work

*2019-06-11*

Pages don’t load, card info isn’t stored. So annoying. Don’t waste your time. Such a shame.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2018-09-22*

This application is often down and when is not I can’t get in my account.  I get an error message.  Agreed with the other review. Previous application was much better.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t Work

*2018-08-17*

It won’t bring up my account info. It always says technical difficulties. Won’t even let me delete it from my phone.
