I use this app out of necessity for my local library. If I did not have to, I would not. I think it would be nice if when you do a search and tap on a book or result, that when you hit the back button, it doesn’t erase or restart the search. It just takes you back to the home page instead of back to your search results. It makes it frustrating if you are looking through different books and you have to re-enter the search terms every time. I also do think you would be neat if they add more trivia facts to pull from. Considering it is the library network, you would think they would have more trivia facts instead of just the same two that pop up every time you open the app. It’s just a little things sometimes.

I typically don’t write reviews, but I am in the hopes that they YLN folks will listen. I don’t expect the old app to return, but please improve this one! My biggest complaint is that it is very slow to load. I use the app exclusively, not my library card. So the speed in which I can get to it (if it hasn’t logged me out) is cumbersome. It’s just not a great experience overall. I use it only because it’s what I have to use.

I dislike this library app so much!!! Please bring back the original app!!! Reasons to never use this app 1. You’ll have to sign in with your library card number every time you want to use the app. 2. You can view accounts on one account but it’s not organized anymore. On the original app you could view all the books and they were organized by each account. Now all the books are shown but not by which card they are on 3. I cannot place any holds!!!!! This is a huge bummer as I’m a homeschooling mom and I do a ton of research on which books to use in upcoming lessons. Do you do any research when making this new and “improved” app?!
