I love this app. It does everything I need it to, and it does it smoothly. Truth be told, I don't even use my physical library card anymore. If I may make a couple of suggestions: ·Connectivity to MEL - would be nice to not have to go to the web to get things outside of CADL ·Link child accounts - I'm a parent who would like to let my kids check out items on their cards but also have easier access to knowing when they're due back

New update gives wrong information. It has the wrong book cover pictures for titles I've checked out. It also has listed a title in my checked-out list that I have already returned. Also, I would like to see how many items I have on hold listed in the top banner of my account page. As it is, I have to click the link to see if I have any hold items. Finally, I don't see where my digital checked-out items are listed. I don't like the new app for managing my account.

I wish I could have rated this higher because I love CADL, but the app is horrible. Rather than letting me sign in to my account like it does on the website it makes me type in my library card number, which wouldn't be an issue at all if it didn't freeze every single time I click on the area to enter thr number. Dissapointing.
