Big improvement! As a frequent library-goer, I appreciate the improvement on the app. It is easier than ever to view fines, request materials, check due dates, renew items & see which of your holds have arrived!

Reading is fundamentally maximum for growth in every aspect of your life choices. Why not, your neighborhood public library? I suggest every public library to host Comic Book Day once a month. With a prize, for children who can't afford to buy comic books. Let's help our youth interested in reading. It worked for me.

Can't even open it now. Crashes immediately. Rebooted Android. Same result. It's actually a useful app when it works. One star because developer is utterly unresponsive. I've been trying to get them to fix their display of holiday hours for close to a year now. It shows random nonsense dates. Shown librarians in person twice. Said they'd pass it on. Nothing. Emailed developer twice. No reply. Now it doesn't work at all. Maybe one star will get their attention. Doubt it.

List of Checked out Books Not Working The new app looks great and is easier to navigate. However, the main reason I use it is to keep track of what I have checked out when I am on the go. Unfortunately, although it shows me the right number of books I have checked out, the list of those books just shows the same book over and over. (As though I have 5 or 6 copies of the same book checked out, instead of 5 or 6 different books.) So I can't in fact see which titles I have checked out.

Asks for library card number and password when trying to open app all of a sudden. Who wants to type all that when they have the app? When you do, doesn't recognize your acct. Says to reset pin. Still doesn't work. End up opening acct. By going to the web. This is inconvenient.
