Digby® by OCLC®

Update (5/9/2023) I contacted OCLC customer service via email, and they have now produced a test version of the app so that the problems mentioned below are gone. I’ve tested it in test flight. It works. I am changing my rating back to a 4. —————— I’ve used Digby for years. It’s a helpful tool. But barcode scanning doesn’t work with the iPhone Pro series. The barcode never seems to come into focus. I’ve tested it with the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max. It’s probably due to 1)the use of multiple cameras, and 2) LiDAR being used. I would love it if the app could be updated to work correctly. I miss being able to use the app.

The Digby app has been an essential tool for our library especially as we conduct a comprehensive inventory of our materials. The most recent update makes the app very slow and crashes constantly. We were able to scan around 1000 item per hour and now my best staff member is only able to complete 400 or so. A 60% drop in efficiency is unacceptable. Please fix.

A veritable Swiss Army knife, Digby allows staff members to take staff functions into the stacks. Reshelve, pull list, inventory and check in for example. I like that Digby gives me an alternative to using the terminal at the desk.
