NOT GOOD

It’s basically just a thing to search for books if you don’t have an account. I can’t even get a book on hold for me. DO NOT BUY!!!

More convenient than the website

A librarian recently shared that an SPL app was available and immediately got it setup. The app is a bit more convenient than the website and has most of its features. I really appreciate the Apple Wallet support so I no longer have to carry around my physical card.

Some suggestions:
- When placing holds, use the default branch as setup in your SPL account as the starting point or with a Quick hold feature like the website. I’ve accidentally placed holds at incorrect branches.
- Notifications for hold requests being available, things coming due, etc

Great app overall!

Great new app for a great library

I’m really glad they finally made this app!

Notifications?

Wondering if notifications are a feature of this app? If not, I hope it’s a something that will be added soon! It would be most helpful to get notified when something is due and when a request has arrived. Tried to look under settings, but it just gives the library’s privacy policy.

smooth and functional

so happy this is available! works great!

Finally!

So happy an app is finally available! It’s great so far- no complaints. Easy to navigate.

Easy to use

I love how easy the app makes putting items on hold, booking a meeting room and even checking out books from it!

Great Resource!

Really great for a first version. The app makes it much easier to find things on mobile rather than navigating the site.
