Comments on ChiPubLib for Android

★★★★★ Ian H · Jan 27, 2017

The CPL app is great! Renew your books, place holds, browse the catalog, check branch hours, and flag books as being 'for later' or make your own reading lists. A must-have for any Chicago bibliophile.

★★★★★ A Google user · Apr 2, 2024

After the March 14, 2024, upgrade can no longer log in OUTSTANDING. Physical locations closed, still can enjoy books GREAT JOB! I still miss my librarians at West Englewood but thrilled books are available including newly published books

★★★★★ GrubieDon'tPlay · Apr 5, 2022

I love that I can easily have books and movies from other libraries shipped to mine for free, and the app will tell me when they are ready for pickup. An amazing resource more people in Chicago should use. Your library membership also includes Hoopla for free!

★★☆☆☆ A Google User · Oct 5, 2014

What is the app switcher button? It would be most helpful if you could include information on what the app switcher button is on an Android phone. At least until the bug is fixed. After doing a Google search, I finally determined it is the Home Touch button on the lower right on my LG G3. Hope this helps someone else.

Awful Refuses Barcode and pin, refuses to send update YUCK

★☆☆☆☆ obi shawn · Jan 30, 2016

I installed this app, but all it would do was show a loading screen. The CPL website is much better.

★☆☆☆☆ Lucky Lady · Jan 18, 2019

Nothing more than links that take you to their website. Not what I consider an app. Don't waste your time.

★★☆☆☆ A Google User · Jul 26, 2014

Nothing works I thought I could check my hold status, fees, etc. but nothing works. I'm only able to search books on the recently added and bestseller lists. There is no menu feature. Maybe an issue with droid phone.
