### 1/5 — Extremely limited choice

*2024-12-26, version 5.1*

It’s an excellent move at initiate ebook reading to cultivate reading habit but not with these limited choices. No updates on the book selection and lousy user interface. I wonder how much had been spent on such lousy app. Disappointing

### 2/5 — No further update?

*2024-08-31, version 5.1*

Can someone from the IT team do something about the app? I’m not sure how could we nurture the community of reading if our Government app isn’t even working properly for us to read online easily. Forever can’t see the list and can’t download the books.

### 1/5 — National shame

*2023-05-20, version 5.1*

The app is sluggish, slow, buggy, and after go through all the trouble, most books are not available, what a National joke!

### 1/5 — Useless app

*2023-04-12, version 5.1*

Why so useless the apps, cant even login. Reset password also still unable to login.

### 1/5 — Pathetic book choice

*2022-12-30, version 5.1*

As a National Library, if these are the only book choices you have, it’s such an utter shame! Pathetic! Learn from our neighbour Singapore’s NLB! I feel envious of those who can read almost any books they want from their NLB in Singapore. How I wish our PNM can have such wide range of books to read from too! So I downloaded this app to browse through but to my much dismay, there’s almost nothing I can read from.
Please buck up on your library before encouraging people to read!

### 3/5 — Cant read

*2022-10-06, version 5.1*

### 3/5 — Tidak boleh log in

*2022-06-07, version 5.1*

### 1/5 — Apps cannot open

*2022-02-26, version 5.1*

Whenever i try to open the app, it will go back to homescreen. Pls fix this

### 1/5 — Cannot open

*2022-02-06, version 5.1*

Everytime i tap the app to open, it immediately back to homescreen. How can i read when i cant even open the app. Please fix this. This is so embarrassing for so called national library.

### 1/5 — Total rip-off

*2022-02-04, version 5.1*

I suspect another scam has been initiated by PNM & elib esentral. Nothing works can’t download and read any of so called ebooks. Worst ever national library’s management. Pls sack this incompetent developer.
