Worthless update
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.

“To read” list was wiped out
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.
New app
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!!

Update is terrible
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
Horrible update
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”.
