### 4/5 — So good

*2026-02-03, version 3.7.1*

I love using the app. I do curbside pickup and it is life changing. I only wish you could search a little easier on the app. I want to search within children’s/juvenile books specifically sometimes. Occasionally books won’t show up that I feel certain are there.

### 2/5 — Can’t find books

*2026-01-14, version 3.7.0*

It was all okay, till I wasn’t able to find books anymore. I typed the name of the books in search but it always tells me “no matching results”. I tried it even for books I checked out prior to make sure

### 3/5 — Barcode no longer works

*2025-12-29, version 3.7.0*

Since the new iPhone came out, the barcode for my card is no longer scannable by the machines when checking out books. I have to type in my library card number every single time or carry my card again. Please fix it.

### 4/5 — Better than website

*2025-03-24, version 3.6.1*

I have been having frequent issues accessing our public library’s website. The app so far has been good, except that the wishlist feature doesn’t work, even when I add books to my existing(created via web) list, it doesn’t update. So I created a new list using the app, yet same issue. Hope someone looks into it. If there’s a chat support or something of the sort to share feedback it would be great.

### 5/5 — Love the app!

*2024-04-18, version 3.5.0*

Makes it very convenient to look up and put books on hold for pick up. My only wish is that there was a wish list of sorts for books that you want to to borrow at a future date (I’ve had a few times where it’s not feasible to borrow a book but don’t want to forget about it so I have screenshots in my phone lol)

### 5/5 — So convenient

*2024-04-10, version 3.5.0*

I love My Libro because getting books and checking on the status of my checkouts is at my fingertips!

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2024-03-22, version 3.4.2*

I love this app

### 5/5 — Fantastic

*2024-03-06, version 3.4.2*

Really enjoying

### 5/5 — Live assistance Lisa

*2024-02-23, version 3.4.1*

I just want to thank her for her help in downloading the App and providing a short training in how to use it.   This is must appreciate!  

Thank you

### 3/5 — Need the option for multiple accounts!

*2024-02-15, version 3.4.1*

We are members of more than one library, we need to be able to toggle between library accounts. Also, as a parent I need to be able to manage my children’s accounts from the “master account” this would make this app 10 stars, right now finding what books to return on whose accounts is a huge chore. Easy interface if you have a single account you manage.

### 5/5 — Great

*2024-01-27, version 3.4.1*

This is a great app for checking out books,videos, and more.

### 3/5 — When it works, it’s great…

*2023-07-22, version 3.3.0*

I didn’t have any trouble with this app until the last few months. My entire wishlist (over 100 books) disappeared, and it’s always telling me I have zero books checked out even when I have several checked out. I don’t know why I can’t view my checked out books, or where my wishlist went, but it’s frustrating. I want to make a new wishlist so I can put books from it on hold every so often, but I don’t want to spend a bunch of time searching titles and adding them to a list if it’s just going to vanish again.

### 3/5 — Love this app until recently

*2023-06-05, version 3.2.1*

Was working perfectly until now. I’m unable to schedule a pickup. Books don’t show as ready to be picked up. I can only see this if I go into my account and view books on hold. Annoying! I reached out to customer support and heard nothing.

### 2/5 — Latest version no longer supports wishlist

*2023-04-29, version 3.2.0*

Love this app and use it multiple times a week but wishlists don’t work in the latest version. I can save items to a wishlist but when I click on the New My Account and the Wishlist it says it’s unable to fetch Wish List details (it also doesn’t let you make a new wishlist). Really hope you can fix this as it was super helpful to track the books I wanted to read!

### 5/5 — Amazing!!

*2023-04-02, version 3.1.9*

I have been using this app for a couple of days and I love the easy accessibility i can get from my local library! Overall: 10/10 ✨

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Time waste

*2025-09-18, version 3.6.1*

My Libro takes so long to load books. I have to press the “Hold” buttons multiple times in order for it to work. Putting 2 books on hold takes me approximately 30 minutes. Please upgrade this app so it’s more efficient.

### 1/5 — Slow and Broken Functionality

*2025-09-04, version 3.6.1*

When using the search functionality, it is incredibly slow even if you’re searching by Title. When submitting a hold, sometimes it fails and you get an error so you have to try again. Adding books to a wishlist sometimes trigger an error so I try again and even if it works, they disappear after next log in. My library encourages its use but I find jt time consuming to use.

### 1/5 — The search stopped working for me

*2024-04-06, version 3.4.2*

Search doesn't return any results at all, so I cannot put a hold from the app. It worked well in the past

### 1/5 — Meh

*2023-10-21, version 3.4.0*

Have just started using this app since my library recently switched. Two issues I have encountered: 1) The search function is problematic, it brings up non-related results when you search for a particular title—I have to scroll through to find the title I am looking for to see if it’s even listed. 
2) I can’t set up as a default the location of my library where I want to pick up my items. I get the whole list and have to select my library every.single.time. 
Was this even beta-tested before rollout??!

### 1/5 — Difficult app

*2023-07-06, version 3.2.1*

Very challenging to navigate. Not user friendly.

### 1/5 — Security Risk

*2023-01-10, version 3.1.7*

App seems well designed, but I will not continue to use it until passwords are stored securely. You should not be able to see your own password on any app or website. Tried to report this in app but the feedback feature said it had failed to submit.

### 1/5 — App Update 2021

*2021-07-18, version 3.0.0*

Formerly, I would have given the app 5 stars for ease of use and convenience.

Since the update 2 weeks ago, I’m no longer able to message my library ”I’m on my way” nor when I arrive am I able to message “I’ve arrived and I’m in spot #_” . I am now reduced to phoning the library and telling them that I have an appointment, my name is_ and I’m in spot #_. Where’s the convenience in that? I may as well go into the library.
You need to fix this in the app, please.

### 1/5 — cannot schedule pickup in the latest version

*2021-07-08, version 3.0.0*

it says my hold up are ready to pick up, but when I try to schedule it says no books are ready to pickup.

### 1/5 — Update Broke It

*2021-07-03, version 3.0.0*

The latest update to this app is a major step backwards. It isn’t working correctly currently, as holds which are ready for pickup on one screen don’t show up on the pick up screen. 

But that isn’t the worst issue. The worst issue is that if you have multiple people you are trying to place and pick up holds for, say like with my three children and my wife and I, the number of steps you need to go through to see the holds that are ready and then schedule the pick up is doubled with this app. I am so thankful our library is switching to in person pick up very soon and I won’t have to continue using this terrible app.

### 1/5 — Only half the app works

*2021-05-04, version 2.5.24*

I can’t use the app to do anything but schedule a pickup. Which is useless considering that it won’t let me search the library or schedule a visit.  Per my library these are items that ARE supposed to be Enabled

### 5/5 — Lisa

*2026-07-01, version 3.8.0*

Outstanding

### 5/5 — Great App for the Family

*2026-05-26, version 3.8.0*

This app is very useful if you have a family of 2+. I have all my children’s cards plus my wife’s cards on the app and I can pay late fees, extend borrowing times, and put media on hold. I can work in an out of either account; this is so useful when one of my children forgets their card.

### 5/5 — Awesome power!!!

*2025-11-09, version 3.7.0*

This saves the day! Easy to use and saves a lot of running around!!!

### 5/5 — Why curbside pickup is the best

*2025-10-02, version 3.6.1*

Parking is often an issue at this location so having the curbside option makes pickup a breeze. 
The staff is always so kind & gracious.

### 5/5 — Love this app!!!

*2025-07-04, version 3.6.1*

I love this app!!! This is perfect for long road trips and if you are just at home looking for a book to read!!📕📗📘📙📚

### 5/5 — Great App

*2025-06-04, version 3.6.1*

This is one of the most user friendly apps out there! Everything I use is right at my fingertips. No searching around to find what I’m looking for. I recommend it!

### 5/5 — Great app

*2025-04-24, version 3.6.1*

This is the best library app to get because you can see all the new and cool stuff your local library is doing. I also love how you can checkout, renew, and hold books. You have to go in to your local library obviously to return the book but I hope you can enjoy this app as much as I do.

### 5/5 — Love myLIBRO!

*2025-04-10, version 3.6.1*

It is so very convenient. I find, order and pick up at my closest branch. I also listen to audio books. I can see everything available at all 10 Gaston County Library branches. It is all free. 👍🏻😊

### 5/5 — Great app

*2025-01-31*

User friendly app

### 5/5 — Great app

*2025-01-31, version 3.6.1*
