  1. 4/5Login info save?

    I like the new feature of being able to see how many copies of a book are available and their locations. However, I must type in my login information each time I access the app; it does not seem to save my information.

  2. 4/5Huge improvement over last version

    Response is much faster than previous version. Some suggested improvements: 1. On the “Holds” screen: - order by place in the queue - rather than say “PLACED” show queue position - send a notification when status changes to “Being held” 2. Make the “My Lists” feature of the web page available in this app.

  3. 3/5Needs notifications

    It’s great I can take a book suggestion and request a hold right on my phone. It’s not great without notifications, though. I keep missing my window to pick up holds because I wasn’t aware it was ready for pickup.

  4. 5/5New and Improved App!

    The new app looks great and is a vast improvement over the old version. Night and day difference in usability and functionality!

  5. 3/5Fine, no frills

    The app works fine for what I need it to do: tell me what books are at my library, give me the call number, and place a hold. I haven’t tried to use it for digital items. It’s a little slow, but it works fine. The website is faster and has more filtering options, but when you’re on your phone and not a desktop computer, this is quite alright in lieu.
