Great

Makes the research workflow so much smoother. The interruptions are less and the quality of discovery results help a lot

Perfect for managing research and great learning app

Best app for streamlining your study workflow. It keeps all your saved articles in one place instead of forcing you to leave dozens of browser tabs open, and the layout is very clean.

Great App for Research and Study

I've been using MyLOFT for a while now, and it's been a great app for accessing my library's resources in one place. The interface is clean and easy to use, and I can quickly find journals, e-books, and research articles without any hassle.
I also like the offline reading, bookmarking, and highlighting features, which make studying much more convenient. The app runs smoothly, and syncing between my phone and laptop works well.
Overall, it's a very useful app for students, researchers, and faculty. Definitely recommended if your institution provides access to MyLOFT.

Bad interface, keeps crashing

the app interface is very bad and not user friendly at all.

Bad user interface and very slow

I’m using an online library that uses my loft and loads items through pressreader.

The interface when this happens is god-awful. There are bars above and below the screen that cannot be removed, making for a horrid reading experience. My investment into this online library is almost going to waste because it is so uncomfortable to read anything.

Best App to access educational content

Very useful

Helpful for getting offline access

I am activity using app from past two years this help me to get access of different e-books easily

Very bad aap

I have paid for a years subscription of British council digital library, which unfortunately requires its users to download and use this aap to access content. I have an iPad Air , which though an older model but runs Netflix, YouTube and any thing thrown at it. It’s been weeks and this damn aap isn’t working at all . There is no support from the aap people.

Landscape view not supported.

Landscape view is not supported in Ipad which leads to problem as icons in panel of databases like heinonline gets crammed and i am unable to use it.

Inability to browse

The app used to be good and easy to use. But since the removal of search engines such as Google it is getting very difficult to use and get new articles for academic purpose. I hope the developers look into this and take apt action for smooth functioning. Thanks

Horizontal Mode Needed

While the app is ok to use and the features seem to working fine but the huge drawback is that on iPad, it doesn’t allow horizontal view of the app. This leads to removing of iPad from the magic keyboard to read the articles hence not allowing us to multitask.

Regarding the capabilities along with the rotation

This doesn't work well at all on the iOS. Please update the format of SCC online, I'm not able to read it horizontally, It stays only vertical makes it a reading issue on iPad.

2) The option to enlarge a file and read it doesn't work it keeps loading that's it.

3) downloading PDF's is a very big hassle kindly see to it that the PDF's can be downloaded directly instead of sending it to collections.

4) getting logged out by just entering general collections is a big issue, and the hassle of logging back in without the autofill is even worse.

Please update and improve it.

Only institutional login available

It allows only institutional login. How can an individual login to the app?

Response from developer

Thank for showing interest in MyLOFT. Currently, MyLOFT is available via Institutional Subsciption only.

Installs some kind of VPN, very slow and unreliable

This app is a complete waste of time and bandwidth.

1. Installs a VPN profile to provide "institutional access," which seems to be bandwidth constrained.

2. Connection keeps dropping and reconnecting.

3. Institutional access should mean you don't have to keep providing your credentials, but every resource wants you to do so again and again.

Best access your library using a desktop browser. This will just waste bandwidth, time and your phone battery.

Zoom facility is to be done

The letter is too small .
Zooming facility to broaden.
Thank.

Needs Improvement

Using it for the British Council Digital Library access but there is no way for me to zoom into the browser based content. Add zoom capabilities and it’s 5/5 for me.
