I have found this app decently functional for several years. For the last few weeks, though, it has not been updating my Holds—it shows my place in line, even though I already checked out and returned both titles. When I click on the titles, I get an error message. I finally decided to delete the app and download it anew, but now I can’t even log in to the new download because it says it’s unable to connect to the server. Hope it gets resolved soon!
First, the app is great (aside from a LOT of bugs). Recently, my checkouts AND holds have not been showing up, and now I can’t read the books I have checked out or check in on holds.
Up until a this week, I had no issues with the app, but now appears to be downloading issues. It takes a long time for app to stop the spinning wheel and when it does, the open page doesn’t completely download, nor can you go to other completed download pages. I have removed the app and reinstalled on both phone and iPad. I have checked to see if others having same issues and they are.
