It takes forever

I’ve used this app before but when I went to another library and then I didn’t use it after that so I deleted it. It used to work well. But after I reinstalled it it just stays on the loading page forever. It was a great app but it’s not working now. It might be an issue only with my phone and not affect other people. But after reading some other reviews, I can clearly state that this isn’t just a problem for me and might be a problem with the new update.

App Crash

My iPhone won’t open the app! Just started happening after months of use. Trying to reach out to developer but can’t report the issue directly.

Instant crash when I click on it…. Anyone else having this issue??

Useless cause it won’t let me past the “Stay In the Loop” popup!!

So it loads and then the “Stay In the Loop” popup asking me to enable notifications comes up. I click on it to enable popups and it takes me to the page to do so and set it to enable them. Then I close that out and try to do ANYTHING else and it’s back to the constant popup!! Makes it impossible to actually use the app…which is a shame as it was so much more useful when it DID work than the webpage did on my phone.

Keeps kicking me off or freezing up.

Also please include a feature that tells instantly if I’ve already checked out a book. I read 5-7 weekly so I can’t remember titles until I start reading. It’s frustrating.

Please fix it!

Four stars up until latest update. Now it gets stuck on “dusting the shelves” so it’s useless.
