User reviews

Need a save list

The app works well enough to check out books and pick them up but what we desperately need is a save book function-a list that I can save a book that I would like to read, but I’m not going to check out right away. Please please please add this feature as soon as possible.

Unusable, Lacking Features

Searching for titles immediately leads to a glitch where the screen zooms in and makes the app unusable. You have to constant double tap your screen with two fingers to zoom out. I’m on iPhone 17 iOS 26.3. No way to make lists of books. Disappointing for the nation’s largest county libraries! Please do better, devs.

Glitchy

Not sure what happened but whenever I search for a title, the search results page wouldn’t scroll down so I’m stuck staring at the first 2 results. When you tap on a title, the page just loads forever. Better to use desktop.

Glitch

There’s a glitch, when I want to order a book from a library it just has the button “find a copy” and not “place a hold” so I can’t order a book to come to my local library. I’ve tried to fix it but it just stays the same, please fix this glitch.

I would like to be able to change my default branch

It looks/works fine from an appearance perspective. However, it stores whatever your first library option was and defaults it when you place a hold even after you change your home library. With so many branches, being able to set that default would be nice. It’s a small change that would make the hold system just so much easier and less cumbersome.
