App Profile: Destiny Back Office

When I discovered this app, I was over the moon. I’m a high school librarian, and we use the Destiny Library Manager — and now I can operate the most common tasks given to me on the fly (check-outs and patron status) from my phone without a barcode reader. Yes please! Unfortunately, some UI bugs limit this functionality. While the app could use a facelift for sure, my main concern is that I cannot scan resource items — because the keyboard covers the selector for library materials or resource items, and I can’t see how to hide that (I’ve tried tapping outside the text field) without attaching an external keyboard. So I can check out library books, which is great, but the app doesn’t help me with resource materials such as textbooks, student devices, district assets, or classroom novel sets. I really hope this can be fixed!

I’m trying to complete my library inventory but the option to keep working keeps disappearing completely. I’ve tried to close and reopen the app and reinstalling but nothing will bring back the inventory I have started.

Couldn’t be happier! You can checkout and check in library and resource view items, look up patrons and take an inventory. Won’t take the place of you circ desk but it’s handy. Would like to option to check status of students who have left our building to another that still have our items.
