Pros & Cons

  • Free to use
  • Direct access to a large collection including bestsellers and new arrivals
  • Supports holds, renewals, and offline downloads
  • Barcode storage for quick in-location access
  • Camera-based barcode scanning to locate items in the Library’s catalog
  • Reading lists to organize titles easily
  • Compared to some competitors, the app does not emphasize in-app search and catalog navigation for ebooks, audiobooks, or titles across the library catalog in its wording (based on competitor keyword trends)
  • Some advanced catalog features popular elsewhere (e.g., broad search across formats) are not highlighted in the description

Comments on Calgary Public Library for Android

★★★★★ Jalal Zakaria · Nov 23, 2019
How's my city going to disrespect the library app like this smh. The app is great. Find books with many filters to specify. Location availability, hold function, etc. etc. It's great. @Devs, I read a lot more thanks to this app.
★★★★☆ Anson Chappell · Nov 12, 2020
Older app but it works well. Can search, place hold, renew etc. with no problem.
★★★★☆ yo emily · Apr 5, 2016
Easier than Website This is faster than the website cuz u just click the app, and it opens, rather than go to Google, search it up and logging in again and again. This actually remembers me, so I don't have to log in again. I don't get why people say it's slow, it works fine on my android phone. But I guess the website is easier to work with.
★☆☆☆☆ Elisha Torraville · Dec 30, 2016
Not user-friendly. I was so excited to be able to use this app instead of going to the website each time. First of all it keeps telling me my pin or user is invalid which it isn't. Secondly I wanted to explore some new books, and you can't even read the description of the book. I can see the author, ratings, year published, locations, but I can't even read what it's about which makes the whole point of exploring new books pointless. Don't get me wrong I live the library and go there quite often, but the app is useless.
★☆☆☆☆ Andrew · May 28, 2026
The password field in the login is not properly marked as a password, so your phone's keyboard records the password that you use. I will not be using this app until this critical security flaw is addressed.
★★☆☆☆ Alex Peterson · Feb 1, 2016
Very slow to navigate to any page. Will not stay logged in. I'm just going to use the mobile site instead. It at least is functional.
