Brilliant app to keep a track of my library accounts while on the move. The developer even fixed a glitch I had to enable me to add one of my accounts

A Must-Have App Why is this an excellent app to have on your mobile because it allows you to search, review, reserve, renew your books. I am surprised at the low number of downloads of this app maybe the libraries need to do more to promote the app. PS 10/11/16 started using the update app - on saved list I when it displayed my list the information was push to the left half of the screen on the right side a TAG box dominated that side. Liked that you can email saved list why not call email header "from library records".

Have found it extremely useful in allowing me to make full use of my library. In searching for available books, author searches and a history of my past bool/author loans. I must also say I noticed something that changed, and it was corrected within a couple of days. Excellent to know some really cares about his clients and software.

Cannot add accounts I tried to add accounts at two different libraries but in both cases it said the card number or PIN were incorrect. After trying a few times and even verifying my PINs by signing in directly to the libraries' websites (they were correct), I gave up and uninstalled this app. A very promising app, but unfortunately I couldn't get it to work.
