If update possible that would be awesome!! ### 2/5 — Fix Server/Log On Issue *2025-09-12, version 2.19.0* please fix the server issues. i can never log on to see my account. its a blessing when it decides to work :( ### 1/5 — Crashes daily *2025-09-09, version 2.19.0* I rarely can use it because it ALWAYS crashes. ### 3/5 — App won’t stay logged in *2025-07-26, version 2.19.0* Since the last update, the app won’t stay logged in. I have to enter my username and password each time I go into the app. I love the app but it’s very inconvenient not to be able to just open and use it. I hope this issue can be addressed. ### 5/5 — Better now *2025-05-13, version 2.18.0* Used to be logged out upon opening the app, but this bug was fixed, and so was the login error “Something’s not right! The server responded with an error.” Now I can use this app, it’s awesome checking out the selection of the SA libraries and having the ability to place a book on hold and read ebooks and control and own an account for a library. Overall, this is a great app, Thank the city of San Antonio for willing to put in the effort and time to make this app so good. ### 3/5 — Log in every time? *2025-03-30, version 2.18.0* In today’s era of password reuse, it would be greatly appreciated if the app could either persistently remain logged in or support the use of password AutoFill (Apple has published a workflow for this). Logging in should be a straightforward process, not a time-consuming and challenging endeavor. ### 5/5 — Good *2024-08-16, version 2.15.0* I love books ### 2/5 — Useful when it works. *2024-05-16, version 2.14.0* This app is useful when it works. The browsing could be better. And making our own list of collections would be nice. The issue is when I click on a title the screen goes blank. I can't request to hold the book when this happens. It's been happening for weeks now. I had to log in outside the app to be able to request a hold and check location availability. I shouldn't have to do that. Hope this bug is fixed soon! 🙏🏼 ### 4/5 — Really helpful *2024-05-07, version 2.14.0* I have been using this app for just over a year now and have not had any problems. I really enjoy the audiobooks and being able to save books in your “For Later” and “Completed” shelves. I have used the hold feature various times and they have the books at my preferred location within a couple days. The only things I would love to see from this app is the ability to filter books saved in your For Later shelf by available location, and an easier way to browse books by genre, rather than just typing in the name of a specific one. ## Frequently asked questions about mySAPL ### What can I do with this app?
