I have to say….

For such a reputable company, I’m more than disappointed in this app. It provides nothing searchable, and the point of an app is to provide convenience in identifying products to look at.
People should simply go to their website and look there.

Trouble downloading

I love the ability to have catalogues on my phone, but downloads are now stopping part way through.

I can’t download a catalogue completely over cellular data?!?

DON’T DO IT

Once I downloaded this app, I couldn’t delete it fast enogh. LVT seems to have been taken over by a gang of money - grubbing, predatory MFers.

Pointless waste of time

This is not the app that allows you to shop in their store and there is no other Lee Valley app on the US App store. This app is nothing more than a pdf viewer and not even a good one at that. The catalogs you can download are old, there aren't any hot links that will take you to the website to order the item, and you can't even highlight an item to be able to find it again, can only bookmark the whole page. Frustrating and pointless. I routinely download the app to see if it has improved only to see that it hasn't so I delete it because it isn't worth the memory it takes on my phone.
