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

logging out/not recognizing login

i am forcibly logged out of the app periodically. each time this happens it takes about a day for the app to recognize my "credentials" which have not changed. please stop

NEW UPDATW IMRPOVED EVERYTHING

Before the update, everything was slow. The interface was bad too. Now the update made everything better

Search function is horrendous

Good luck finding what you’re looking for, unless it is minutely specific. Can’t even pull up a list of options for a specific author. At least the librarians aren’t out of a job!
