What a bunch of uses AI bloat!
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?
Garbage
They updated a perfect app and broke it . Logged us out and does not work
Lost all my For Later shelf in the update

San Diego 2026: spending money on things just to make them worse
Version 2.0 of app might be the worst thing the library has ever done. The landing screen is a jumble of random things that apparently wants to push events and social media. It takes too many steps to get to my holds, and where did my lists go? I see where they’re supposed to be, but there’s nothing there. If I change the layout of the landing screen to simply it, there are two links to My Account. Why? Did anyone get any user feedback before launching this update?

Latest update only
New NoveList doesn't link the books in the series properly. Titles seem to be correct but link to book/availability doesn't work properly. Liked old version better
Good but switching cards doesn’t work
If you have two cards (one family member each), switching between the cards fails as follows:
1) member name is wrong, it doesn’t change and doesn’t fix when you switch
2) borrowing history also doesn’t change
1) member name is wrong, it doesn’t change and doesn’t fix when you switch
2) borrowing history also doesn’t change
Mostly good, some ideas
It would be great if users could add due dates for checked out items to their calendars with one click.
Okay app
It worked fine for me in the beginning until it started logging me out continually. I ordered 16 books and went to get them to find only 4 left. Whenever I try to log in it says error even though everything is correct and it won’t let me change my password. Be prepared to take a while to set this up if you get this app.

Fix the rotation
On an iPad the app must be used in portrait orientation, vertical. That is fine for an iPhone, but clumsy on a iPad that you are holding in your lap. You need to fix it so that the app rotates with the device, then I would give it 5 stars. Otherwise I very much like the app on both my iPad and iPhon. With my iPhone I use it to check out books at Library

Update to a previous review
I definitely have to credit this new app, it deserves the 5 stars! Easy to navigate and of course , its easy to just pull the digital library. Thank you!!!
Great for searching and placing holds!
Would love to see a feature that can send a notification when a title is ready for pickup or becomes overdue
Excellent App
Very surprised how well this app works. Can easily browse available books, but holds on them, look at reviews. Also provides status on books you’ve put on hold and books that are checked out. Has made it very easy for me to check out books I want to read instead of having to either check with a librarian or check shelves in the library. Been utilizing the library way more with this app, makes browsing the selection at the library as easy as shopping online. Really pleased with this!!!

kept crashing
kept crashing my phone everytime i went into the app.
Fix the orientation
When using on a iPad the app forces you into portrait orientation, it is clumsy to hold an iPad like that. You are better off going to the website.
Some problems
Now crashes everytime when checking the Completed, For Later, etc shelves. Please update!
Please update this app
I love this app and really wish you would fix the HUGE bug that crashes it when you open My Shelves. I suspect it is a boundary bug because it used to work when I first installed and had little or no books on my lists. But now it crashes on Completed (12 listed) or For Future (14 listed). A year with no bug fixes? Really?

Multiple cards
I have three cards - my two for my children and my own card. There is no way to use the app with multiple cards. This is major oversight.
Please Fix Bugs!
I wish I could use all the functions of this app as intended. The app crashes every time I select “For Later” bookshelf. This defeats the purpose of adding items to this list if I can’t look at it later. I also wish the app would sync with the browser version so that I could see the books from here but it just creates separate lists. please fix issues.

Was working now crashes
This app was working great, but now it crashes when I try to look at my “for later” shelf as other reviewers have said. Please fix this! I use that feature, or did, quite a bit.
Needs work
Hard to believe that “remember me” means that anyone with my phone can check out materials. What about using TouchID?
The barcode to check out books is very well hidden under the more button and at the bottom of that page. Should be front and center when I open the app.
My guess is that the developers have little or no experience in developing apps.
