Also can no longer see how many times a checked out book has been renewed so I know if we will reach the limit on the next renewal. I use this to plan ahead and loved having that in the app. Super disappointed that the old app just won’t function now and we are forced to use this one. ### 1/5 — Need to link to kids accounts *2025-11-20, version 202505.00.00* I don’t like this app as much as the old one. The biggest reason is I can’t link my kids’ accounts with mine. Also, you have to tap into each book to see how far down the hold list you are. In the old app, that information was readily available. Go back to the old app please! ### 1/5 — Old version was better *2025-11-20, version 202505.00.00* The old version app is no longer working, was forced to download and use this new app. But it’s lacking lots of features comparing to the old version. Need to be able to link family accounts, and putting on hold for a book isn’t as smooth as the old one. ### 1/5 — So much worse *2025-11-19, version 202505.00.00* Much worse than the old app, hate that you can’t add multiple accounts. ### 1/5 — Can’t link family acct. *2025-11-19, version 202505.00.00* Good for a single person, but not good for families. I can’t manage my kids’ accounts. This version is very unhelpful — I prefer the old one. ### 1/5 — Unable to link kids account *2025-11-19, version 202505.00.00* The app looks nicer than the old one and the interface is more user friendly. However, I’m unable to link my kids account like the old app. In order to access their account I would need to sign out of mine and log in with their information. Very inconvenient considering there are 3 of us with cards and I cannot see all of our checked out materials in one section, like before. I hope this gets resolved soon. ### 1/5 — Terrible new app *2025-11-18, version 202505.00.00* Can no longer manage multiple accounts for a family - a key feature for managing holds and checkouts for each card holder in your family. This revised version of the app is lacking functionality and cumbersome to use. ### 1/5 — Need to link kids accounts *2025-11-17* The app looks nice but it’s not helpful for me if I can’t link my kids accounts like I could on the old app. I need to be able to see all of our checkouts and holds in one place and access their barcodes and mine without logging us in each time - that defeats the purpose because then I need their number anyway. Super disappointed that the old app just won’t function now and we are forced to use this one. ### 1/5 — Less functionality than the old version *2025-11-17* Feels like a downgrade. The new app might be faster, but you can’t link other cards for your family. That was a key feature for us. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Worse than old app *2026-07-09, version 202601.00.00* Wants to mix songs and ebooks and audio in with the hardcovers and paperback. Filter use is confusing. Designed by kids not adult readers ### 1/5 — Buttons No Longer Function *2026-07-01, version 202601.00.00* I try to place a hold and the button doesn’t respond. It takes forever to load. Bring back the old app. It worked just fine. ### 1/5 — Waiting on an update *2026-03-19, version 202505.00.00* How many bad reviews will it take before this app gets updated to allow to link kids accounts? I need the ability to have all of our accounts in one place rather than logging out and back in for each child! Please fix!!! I have heard so many complaints in person as well as all the awful reviews on here. The librarians have even mentioned it to me. If only we knew if an update was on its way… ### 1/5 — Filters in Spanish?? *2026-02-13, version 202505.00.00* When I search for anything under discover all the filters are automatically in Spanish with no way to change the language. I’m all for making things accessible for everyone but this goes for all. ### 1/5 — Unable to add multiple accounts *2026-02-10, version 202505.00.00* This new app does not carry forward the very basic feature that every family with kids need- ability to have multiple library cards show up in one account ### 1/5 — A Downgrade, ripped off taxpayers and never once thought about library patrons *2026-02-10, version 202505.00.00* A total downgrade from the old app. Whoever made this for OC took our taxpayer money and ran! Clearly never thought about the user. The new app loses SO MUCH functionality. You can’t link other cards for your family. You can’t place multiple holds without heavy navigation. YOU CAN’T EVEN NARROW YOUR SEARCH TO YOUR LOCAL BRANCH! Shocking how bad it is. Thanks for nothing! Bring back the old app! ### 1/5 — Would not work *2026-01-13, version 202505.00.00* Horrible. Went to create an account. Would not load. Tried numerous times. Is this the state of our state? ### 1/5 — Please bring back old app! *2025-12-22, version 202505.00.00* This new app is basically useless to me since I can’t link my children’s account. I also miss being able to see the status of all my holds on one screen. I now need to go into each hold to see when I can expect it. Placing holds for different volumes of one book collection is also more complicated now. Please bring back the old one or update this one so we can link several accounts! ### 1/5 — REVERT TO OLD VERSION *2025-12-12, version 202505.00.00* this app is so inconvenient! i dislike that we can’t have multiple cards on 1 account. I don’t feel that it is user friendly and preferred the previous version. ### 1/5 — Horrible app *2025-12-06, version 202505.00.00* This new app is horrible they need to improve ASP!!! One of the things I don’t like it is I could not link my child account to my ## Most praised reviews (6 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Nice *2026-02-25, version 202505.00.00* Helpful app, easy to hold and extend books. ### 3/5 — Some improvement *2026-01-31, version 202505.00.00* I think some aspects of the app have improved, like the discover page and the library links to maps. However the Availability page is slow and bulky. I much preferred the simple drop down chart on the previous app. ### 2/5 — I am so FRUSTRATED! *2026-07-09, version 202601.00.00* The app said I have an overdue book but I returned it TWO YEARS AGO! This is so frustrating! And now I am probably going to have to pay a fine for the book that I already returned all because an error on the website! ### 2/5 — Functions fine, needs kids accounts option *2026-04-14, version 202601.00.00* This app is fine for what it needs to be, but PLEASE add the ability to add multiple accounts onto one app log-in (ie for my kids accounts to be added to mine). ### 2/5 — Weird Home Screen message *2025-12-02, version 202505.00.00* Not sure why but the Home screen says Welcome to Tustin Library when I don’t live in Tustin and never use that library?? And does not seem to be a setting that I can change. Other than that seems ok. ### 2/5 — Disappointed I can’t link my children’s accounts *2025-11-15, version 202505.00.00* The format seems great and easy to use. Much faster than the old app. However I am unable to link my children’s library cards. I would have to sign in each account which is so tedious :( --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
