This app used to be really useful for self checkout while at the library, and self-renewing books without making a trip to the library to do so. It’s still good for browsing the card catalog and seeing what’s available (hence the 2 stars), but it no longer works for self checkout (won’t scan barcodes) and auto renew (says it’s unable) when using an iPhone 15 or 16. I really hope they update it soon.

The app will not allow me to add my library card to it. I’ve tried repeatedly and it just closes the app when you hit ‘load card’ after typing in your information.

This is a nice little app that even will double is a library card if you have forgotten it. It’s great for checking on the status of books you’ve taken out and also for any fines you have incurred. The only problem I see is when adding a new account if you use the scan function to scan the number on your library card the embedded spaces in the account number on the card cause a problem. You get a spinning cursor that never disappears. The solution is to type the number in by hand. The app developers should just compress any embedded blanks out of the library account when you use the scan function.
