App keeps crashing

There was an update pushed through a couple of days ago and now when I load the app, it crashes immediately. Yes I’ve reinstalled. Same issue. Please fix.

Network Error when adding to Apple Card

I receive a network error when trying to add library card to apple wallet.

why there are no lists option in the app??

The book lists I create and can access on the website aren’t available in the app, which is quite inconvenient. It would be great to have this functionality available across both platforms
