User reviews

Good app, needs apple wallet support

Would be great to add the library card to Apple wallet!

Works fine now

Haven’t experienced any problems and can find books and check them out.

Decent

Pretty useful as of since I lost my library card

Latest version no longer works on my iPad

Still works on my iPhone.

I really love it!

Makes it easy for me to listen to audio books. I’m dyslexic so I don’t really love reading physical copies of books and having the pressure to read it in time to return it, but with this app it takes all that stress off my shoulders while also expanding my literary palette. I do have some suggestions, It would be great if there was a larger variation of French (audio)books, as of now I find it a little underwhelming and I would love to have more science and non-fiction audiobooks in French. I also agree with other users, it would be really helpful to have notifications instead of emails since a lot of people now and especially my generations don’t check their emails as much. Otherwise super great app!
