SWAN Libraries App User Reviews

Wish it had more features like web version

Features like lists are missing. Many times I want to request something but it’s not fully in the system so I have to log into web add to my list so I don’t forget about it. Then log into web and request it after a few days / weeks or when ever I remember. Would be nice to have more integration between the two.

Needs Work

Still can’t filter DVD vs BD as you can on the web page, just video disks in general. But why why why when I do so and rely on the image they show, time and time again, an image of the blu ray is shown when it leads to the DVD edition. I need to just bookmark the webpage on my phone as this app has become of limited use.

Would love a Wishlist

The app doesn’t allow for saving off book titles for latter requests and check out.
Big downside as I will look for local availability when finding book titles in blogs or magazines.

Please update

Please update to include more Aspen features. I don’t want to have to go to the website to add to my book lists…it should be possible on the app too.

Incomplete status of held books

I use the ISBN scanner in a bookstore to see if I can get the book from SWAN, but the app has incomplete status of book holds: it just says Placed. The web site says In transit or Pending.

Great App

So excited to get this app! I LOVE being able to access the catalog, databases and my account so easily. I also like that I can access my library’s programs and social media. The best features are being able to scan ISBN to search for books and linking accounts. I am having issues with it freezing up on me quite often. I would also love to be able to make lists and have more filters for narrowing searches. (Fiction/Nonfiction, Audience- Adult/Teen/Juvenile, Publication Date, and Language)
