The latest release can’t even connect to the library. Useless. ### 1/5 — The App is still not working properly *2026-08-06, version 26.06.01* Update: last month the app stopped working. It couldn’t connect to my account after working fine for years. I uninstalled it and an update patch was created. While we can now connect to the main database it still isn’t working properly. It will not filter out by media / medium. So asking for Xmen for example you get anything Xmen related. ### 1/5 — Terrible *2026-07-27, version 26.06.01* This is an addition to my previous review. WHY OH WHY does the app no longer have a way for you to request the book you have looked up? I don’t need “more information” about the book. I just need the button that allows me to reserve it back. Why does this one necessary feature of a library app NO LONGER EXIST?! I don’t know how, even after updating the app on a regular basis, it continues to be unable to connect with the library. This is useless. I am a frequent library visitor / patron and having an app that is always down when I need it (can’t reserve books, check what books have come in, or access my card) is worthless. ### 5/5 — Access to a LOT *2026-07-20, version 26.06.01* Lets me load several lib cards at once to my account (family). Regular updates help it run smoothly. Glad to have this app!! ### 1/5 — Filters no longer work *2026-07-18, version 26.06.01* Sorry if I’m repeating what’s been written already (didn’t see it mentioned) but now when you search and try to filter the results nothing happens. I often search for a movie and get a lot of books with the same name. Your could filter by format with the last version, but not since the “update” ### 1/5 — Terrible- just keeps crashing *2026-07-11, version 26.06.01* I never write reviews but I’m hoping this will reach someone who can fix this! I love the library and use the app a lot to find and reserve materials. This new app had been slow but I was patient. Now, however, the app continually crashes and has stopped functioning altogether. It’s so frustrating to have this terrible quality app, from an otherwise delightful library system ### 1/5 — App has stopped working *2026-07-08, version 26.06.01* It is unusable. ### 1/5 — Buggy and slow *2026-07-08, version 26.06.00* Takes forever to load and now it just keeps randomly shutting down. I can’t place a hold and there is no information or support. The old App was basic but it worked and was reliable! ### 1/5 — Doesn’t Work *2026-07-08, version 26.06.00* I want to love this app but it doesn’t work! I have tried deleting it, deleting the data, restarting my phone, etc. please make the app reliable! ### 1/5 — Still not working *2026-07-07, version 26.06.00* App didn’t work all July 4th long weekend, deleted and reinstalled app, still not loading or opening past the intro “leaf” screen. Very glad I took a screenshot of my library card so I can at least check out books at the library. ## Frequently asked questions about Minuteman Mobile ### What can I do with the Minuteman Mobile app?
