## Most critical reviews (6 lowest-rated)

### 2/5 — Needs Work

*2023-02-08, version 2022.1.6*

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.

### 3/5 — Would love a Wishlist

*2022-07-17, version 2021.1.1*

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.

### 3/5 — Incomplete status of held books

*2020-02-27, version 2019.5*

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.

### 4/5 — Wish it had more features like web version

*2023-09-25*

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.

### 4/5 — Please update

*2022-07-11, version 2021.1.1*

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.

### 4/5 — Great App

*2019-07-28, version 2018.12*

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)
