Comments on LOC Collections for Android

★★★★★ Absolutely love the Library of Congress. I am distracted by the fact that many people have never heard of the Library of Congress. It has always been known to myself. I would love to one day visit the library in person. It would be great to add a branch in my area. We have a beautiful Library that has not been used for years, and I would like to change that, someday. It is marked as multiple uses on maps, for some reason. It would make a great General Service Administration branch, or GOA, OIG

★★★★★ I am so excited to have this app it's so full of helpful congressional guides and Information I can't wait to be found in the Library of Congress one day too!

★★☆☆☆ Nathan needs to be easier to understand easier to use needs to be more understandable and the descriptions of its use

★★☆☆☆ Does not work at all, cannot search things the way you can on the browser site, which is no longer loading, so I hoped the app would work better, but its absolute garbage. You cannot search family stuff in newspapers, (my grandfather appeared in numerous newspapers during his life, and they were accessible via the web but not the app.) upon searching newspapers it showed me a song? Upon pressing play it sent me to the Play store then multiple other apps what the hell? Could not find the song again.
