### 5/5 — Very good

*2025-08-17, version 2025.24*

This app is so much a essential for Library lovers

### 1/5 — Worst App Ever

*2025-07-21, version 2025.24*

Borderline useless, the inability to log in and stay logged in is ridiculous. It also doesn’t tally at all and has caused me to miss returning books and get fined because they weren’t showing in the app. Absolutely abysmal…

### 1/5 — Rarely works

*2024-01-14*

Can’t access library catalogue and does not display current library records. Practically useless except for library card barcode.

### 1/5 — Lacks ability to move between pages

*2023-05-31, version 2022.2.2*

No back button! Stuck on a page and no way to exit it. Clunky app. Needs a lot of work.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2023-05-11, version 2022.2.2*

I can’t see the books I currently have out, this is a regular occurrence. I need to know what books I have borrowed and when they need to be back by!

### 1/5 — Searching doesn’t work

*2022-10-08, version 2022.1*

Fine for renewals but searching the catalogue for any book always returns zero results

### 1/5 — Incomprehensible

*2022-09-27, version 2022.1*

That’s it.

### 1/5 — What have you done?

*2022-09-14, version 2022.1*

The old app was easy to read and use. Who would invent a black background with light green font for text? Under accessibility it proudly states you cannot change this colour scheme. Bring back the old black on white scheme please.

### 1/5 — Lost

*2022-09-11, version 2022.1*

I just get the rotating circle.  I have lost the facilities I had with the previous app. Including renewals!  NOT happy.

### 1/5 — Does not work

*2022-09-04, version 3.9.6*

This app stopped working during 2022.
It literally does nothing except records your card number and directs you to a web page where you can get into you library account.
