### 2/5 — Frequently stops working

*2026-03-22, version 2025.44*

App is reasonably well designed but often stops working - e,g I can’t log in now

### 5/5 — So far so good

*2026-01-19, version 2025.44*

I use this app to check if my local library has the specific book I am looking for. It is pretty useful to see if its available and easy to find when I go to the library. I also like the fact that I can scan my library card barcode in the app at the self checkout instead of my physical library card.

### 3/5 — Not great

*2025-07-13, version 2025.24*

The app is generally a good idea but why is it so poorly made???? It signs me out several times a day which is an annoying waste of time. I have to go find the numbers, enter the long number manually (the scanner either doesn’t work or works with errors), and then re-link the accounts of my children. Every single time! This is ridiculous and quite annoying.

### 4/5 — Great app with issues

*2025-03-09, version 2024.25*

When working this app is brilliant and I love it. Can you fix the fact that it keeps logging out and unlinking account?

### 1/5 — Crashes on ipad mini 2

*2025-01-19, version 2024.25*

Cannot open it on 12.5.7

### 3/5 — Handy

*2024-03-18, version 2022.2.2*

Great when working

### 1/5 — Full of errors and no support

*2024-03-03, version 2022.2.2*

For starters - when the support site doesn’t work - it’s a blank page - it tells you a lot about the app

The app itself is similar full of bugs and errors and you can get no support

Frustrating and annoying 
Should be 0 stars

### 1/5 — Please fix it

*2024-02-20, version 2022.2.2*

This app was so helpful! And it hasn’t been working for ages! Please sort!

### 1/5 — Useless

*2024-02-20, version 2022.2.2*

Fails to connect. Utterly frustrating.

### 1/5 — Cannot connect to server.

*2024-02-15, version 2022.2.2*

Cannot connect to server.  With and without Wi-Fi.
