Librista

I updated the app and while the look has improved, the functionality has rendered it almost useless. Every time I try to click on book details, I get stuck in an endless loading loop. Right now all I seem to be able to do is search for items and see if they’re available or not. I can reserve an item, but canceling them requires going to the dashboard and canceling them all. I don’t have items checked out right now so have no idea how renewing them might go. Update: The above issues did get better, although now I have no idea if they were all resolved or I just learned to deal with them. I have cards for two local libraries. Somehow I got logged out of Librista while accessing my secondary library and when I tried switching libraries, I was unable to do so as the app started trying to use location services to bring up the list of local libraries (another change I dislike-I only need the two I have credentials for.) I also was unsure what my login was—was it a separate login, or did I use my library credentials? I foolishly deleted the app and reinstalled it, and now I can’t log in at all, as it is perpetually stuck on the location screen. Edit again: I managed to get logged in, but have to log in every time I open the app—I much preferred it when I stayed logged in to the two libraries that I have cards for. I haven’t activated the location services for fear that they haven’t improved, so I have to search every time I use the app. Edit October 2024-I was logged into one library and wanted to switch libraries; once again, I got stuck in an endless location search. A hard close and reopen didn’t resolve it. Right now I’m to the point of uninstalling, and possibly not reinstalling as my local library wil be moving away from Atriuum, as have most libraries in the county.

I like to keep track of the books I’ve checked out and read. It was always easy to see that info on this app. A few months ago all of my history from 2022 and 2023 disappeared. Only a couple of months from 2021 are showing up. Now it isn’t even keeping track of the books I’ve checked out for 2024. I’ve asked someone at my library to check on this, but they can’t figure it out either.

I have used this app from my library for many years. All of a sudden it is not showing my history except for the year 2030. Don’t bother calling the support number because it isn’t for normal people. You have to ask your library for them to put in a trouble ticket. Good luck with that. Most of the people who work at my library did not even know that had it. So at this point I’m removing the app. Then will try to redownload it. Since there is no update option. While using the app no way to see the version number. Grrr
