"title": "Suddenly losing functionality",
"body": "I was generally happy with the app. It allowed me to manage three card accounts (mine and my kids’), search, place holds, look up status. Some functions require more steps than is ideal (ie would be great to see all checked out items for all accounts without three steps between each), and I kept resetting my default library from my old neighborhood to my new one without it ever permanently updating, but overall it worked fine. Now, when I search the catalog, results don’t show call numbers or availability. I’m flying blind hoping it’s the right edition and available when o place a hold. Seems to not play well with the latest iPhone update, but who knows. I still appreciate having it, but it’s slipping and I have to use it in tandem with the web, which defeats the purpose of an app.",

"title": "Quite mediocre",
"body": "I’ve been a customer of NYPL library services for nearly a year now, and I appreciate the variety of reading material available and have been able to enjoy a couple ebooks. However, I cannot get over how terrible their apps (own, Overdrive, and Libby) and their site are, right from the beginning. The fault isn’t even with the latest versions, they’ve been uniformly awful with any actions I try to execute from the very beginning of my time as a library member. I can’t find the availability of any of the books I’m looking for, cannot borrow, cannot see my checkouts, pretty much nothing. If I could ask for help with a specific task, I would, but their online presence is messed up from A-Z. How can they be so mediocre and serve a great city like NYC?",

"title": "Mobile check out? Yuck",
"body": "I’m not sure this has been thought through I, I think like most people, leave my wifi on on my phone At the library it does reconnect as it is a remembered network But I still need to open a browser page to accept the terms and conditions. I may need to do this unpredictably again if my browser was refreshed or the NYPL branch network was Otherwise the mobile checkout will get stuck as it can’t connect (it just said “loading” rather than something useful). Alternatively I can shut off wifi on my phone. And of course remember to turn it in again later so I don’t use up my data plan. This seems like a good deal of bother to just take out a book. If I use the kiosk in my branch I have to remember to first scan my library card and then the NYPL barcode on the book(s). Easier but still have to remember the sequence as there are no instructions at the kiosk (at least at my local branch) Again, is this really worth it? Maybe if there are long lines, which I don’t see at my branch. Most of this seems like technology for technology’s sake. A solution looking for a problem, which invariably causes other problems Bottom line - perhaps useful at peak times once folks learn all this but when not peak then librarian check out is much easier and faster and hopefully will remain available.",

"title": "Nice app but so slow",
"body": "Love having the app on my phone for easy access without having to log on to the website and it looks nice enough, but doing anything takes sooooo long (searching the catalog, requesting a hold, loading your holds/checkouts)—I spend more time looking at the spinner than anything else. I usually end up just using the website on my phone’s browser because, even with the extra step of logging in, it’s faster. If they could fix the slowness issues, the app would be great!",

"title": "Terrible App",
"body": "After going years without a dedicated app it’s astounding that one of the greatest libraries in the would couldn’t do better. Instead of consolidating all library information in one app, you have to go to Simply E for digital information. It’s not optimized for iPads so it’s just phone size on the screen. Someone in app development should take a look at the Brooklyn Public Library app for features and user interface. (I wrote this when this app was released a few years ago. Nothing has changed, while the app for the BPL has gotten even better. And worse, I’m now having problems with downloading books from SimplyE.)",
