Sonoma County Library

I can’t get enough of these books. I’ve visited a lot of these local libraries to check out the selection and I’ve been hooked since. I love the feature that lets me check up on books currently on hold, that way I can keep track of my due dates. There’s also a shelf of already read books I love adding to. Best library app ever!!

Why was this app redesigned? The interface has a clunky flow and its look and feel is less appealing than the old one. More importantly though, now I need to sign in at Amazon everytime I want the Kindle format of a borrowed eBook; the old version kept me signed on at Amazon, and also had a "Done" button that would close the Amazon page. Ugh, I am wary of these so-called upgrades that are breaking things rather than make them more convenient for users, but this particular upgrade was FORCED upon us since the old app stopped working.

I like the bottom navigation bar in the app, it’s much more intuitive compared to the previous edition. I miss the ability to separate my saved for later into different lists. I also think the format of the lists and holds/checkouts is clunky, and does not look as good compared to the old app.
