### 1/5 — Worthless update

*2026-08-06*

The update to 2.0 has made this app entirely useless. Well-curated shelves of want-to-read books and books read history built over years have disappeared entirely. There is seemingly no way to browse for books available at a given library, by genre, etc. while nothing of significant value has been added.

### 1/5 — “To read” list was wiped out

*2026-08-06*

I had a very curated list on the previous app. It was the “for later” bookshelf with over 300 books and movies to read and watch. And the library for some insane reason chose not to port over those lists. The usability of this app is totally inferior to the old one.

### 1/5 — New app

*2026-08-05*

The 2.0 app is terrible. The lists are missing, the main page is a mess, it’s slow and clunky. One of my biggest problems is that I can’t search through my list. I created a new one with a handful of books and I have to click on each book to find out its availability. The old app allowed you to sort by library to see what books from your list were available. Please bring the old app back!!

### 1/5 — Update is terrible

*2026-08-05*

I don’t understand the update — it’s much harder to use, and what happened to the lists?? I seem to have lost all the lists — For Later, Completed, etc. Heeeelllllppppp

### 1/5 — Horrible update

*2026-08-04*

I don’t usually write updates, but I felt compelled to. After using the SDPL library for years and creating book collections to remember for later along with a history of all the books I’ve completed and read, I downloaded the (mandatory) update today to find all of my collections and lists completely missing. As an avid reader this was devastating. No news this was happening, no notice, and all my collections completely gone. The UX / UI is also a massive step backwards. It is more confusing, bloated with sections like “featured events” and others I will never use, and books recommended to me in categories I have never checked out from the library or read. Maybe because my entire catalogue of previously read books is now missing. In the wake of so many budget cuts it seriously saddens me to think of how much the SDPL spent on this terrible downgrade to what is called “2.0”.

### 1/5 — Try again

*2026-08-04*

SDPL to Go 1.0 wasn’t exactly a great experience but 2.0 somehow manages to be worse.

### 2/5 — Awful update

*2026-08-03*

The new app is clunky to use, does not have book summaries, and no user reviews. Plus when I updated, my entire list of “For Later” books that I had built over several years was wiped out and is no longer available on the website either. If you have the previous version and it still works, recommend you do not upgrade.

### 1/5 — Worst update ever

*2026-08-02*

I like SDPL to go old version.

### 1/5 — 2.0 update is terrible

*2026-08-02*

The new update is terrible. The user interface is clunky and the borrower’s account is difficult to access. All of my previous lists and saved for later books, in addition to my check out /
read history are gone. The book search feature is horrible. This update is a disaster.

### 1/5 — What a bunch of uses AI bloat!

*2026-08-01*

Whoever decided to implement the latest ai enhanced version should be fired. Search is dumber, ux/ui makes less sense, and it looks like the design was generated in sweat shop. Why does everything have to be worse now?
