Winnipeg Public Library App User Reviews

Won’t let me login

I entered my card number and pin correctly but it doesn’t work

Not user-friendly or helpful

WPL should look into Saskatoon’s library app. It’s streamline and super helpful for making your own book lists and seeing your reading history. (They also seem to have a much better book selection despite being a smaller city.)

New features?

I use the app frequently for checking the catalogue and placing holds. I would LOVE to be able to have a wish list (or link with the ones I’ve made on the website) and the description says new features include Readi g List and Wish List but I can’t find them anywhere. Are these still in the works or am I overlooking them?

Lacking some features

I enjoyed using this app until I discovered it didn’t allow me to request a single volume of a multi volume work. Or even tell me it WAS a multivolume work. Fix that!

Useful app!

If you’re a frequent library user this app is very handy. You can scan the barcode from the app instead of carrying your physical card, search the catalogue, renew physical books online, manage holds… I use it all the time.

DO NOT DOWNLOAD. The App is Phased Out. NO SUPPORT.

Useless app at this point, the city did not renew the service contract and now the app is broken. Not sure who is at fault here, I do know the app does not work at all.

Was told there will be a new app in January if 2024. Where is it?

Great work City of Winnipeg, how did you let his happen? Zero planning from city hall as expected. Keep spending my tax money.

Used to be a great app, now useless.

The app doesn’t work at all. Keep getting a message that it can’t connect to the server

Not working

Say's it can't connect to the server

Doesn’t work

It always just tells me that it is unable to connect to server.

Not working

Currently not working. Can’t search. My holds list is out of date. Can’t edit it. Deleted the app and reinstalled. Now it can’t connect to the server.

Cannot access app

It says I don’t have connection so I cannot access the app but the connection is available. The rest of my apps are working.

Never works

Works only about half the time. Annoying. Unreliable

App not working

Currently cannot search for books in the catalogue. My account is showing items that I’ve already returned as still in transit.

Stopped working

When I open the app it’s a black screen saying I’m not connected to a network even though I am. I’ve deleted and reinstalled it and restarted my phone multiple times with no luck.

App

It doesn’t even open it just tell me something about my network and I already try a lot of stuff and it didn’t work.

App do not work

Don’t match the books i have on hold with the books I need to return. Maybe is 9 month late

Doesn’t work correctly

The function to extend the book time does not work. And also the application does not show which books I took (Sorry, there is a problem communicating with the catalogue server at the moment. Please try again later.). About a month ago everything was working.

Unable to connect to server

App doesn’t work. I’m definitely connected to my wifi and yet the app doesn’t work

Need to be updated

It’s not a great app I mean it works it just need to be redesigned so it’s not as hard to use and out dated.
