Bug fixes and improvements

User reviews

It used to work so well!

I use this app exclusively on mobile. I’ve experienced really long lags when searching for a title. I can search for the book but when it pulls up and I click on the “show editions” and click on the book option, it just keep trying to load the link where I can reserve the book but instead keeps doing the spinning search/loading thing.

I also use the SL County library app and it doesn’t have this problem despite likely using similar or same developers and library resources. I think 1-2 years ago both apps underwent a redesign and the County library app had the same experiences I’m getting now but with the City library app. Please figure out what’s going on. I love the library!!

App Hasn’t Worked for 6 months +

Like the other reviews, when you search for a title it just says checking. It never loads. SLC spends money in many places, this is a place that it should. Please fix the app. It is not usable.

Not good

When you search for a book it’ll pop up but then it’ll just say “checking” forever and if you click on it the page will never load.

“Checking…”

It’s ok but lately I search for a book and the app says “checking…” for each category: ebook, book, audiobook, but never loads. Then when I click on “book,” it doesn’t load the page. I’ve tried this multiple times in various locations so I don’t think it’s my WiFi. I end up having to use a browser like chrome to actually see if the book is available. PLEASE FIX THIS, if possible.

Update is a huge downgrade.

Since the update this app is useless for searching the database, I would suggest using the website, but that’s been updated and it’s useless also.
