User reviews

Terrible since update

Used to be not too bad but since update last year takes ages to open to get barcode to take out books also I keep adding my husband my account and after a few months it is not linked and have to add again

Poor

Wildly out of date. It also constantly logs me out and doesn’t recognise my login details.

Rubbish

Constantly removes linked accounts

Rubbish! No longer works!

Used to be a great app, sorry ‘good’ app, only feature it required was to be able to filter results by library I.e you should be able to see if a title or books by a certain author are currently available in your library … however all it no says, when a search is performed, is ‘catalogue provider unavailable’… basically you can no longer search the available books across the N.I. Libraries

Works intermittently

Newest update doesn’t allow you to filter by book, ebook etc. I also haven’t been able reserve any books for the last week, I get a “Reservation Denied” error with no further explanation.
