Ratings and reviews

"Rating: 3 stars for good features and benefits."

What a mess. This central app has a lame search function. But if you search in the other 3 apps (lobby, hoopla & axis, because why NOT have 4 apps to use the digital library...) you get incomplete searches and don't find all the available titles. Just sick of trying to find an authour's next book.

I had a complaint. It was pretty bad. And they almost fixed it, but not really. Every random-so-often the app requires a complete relogin. Not just requiring the password, like everybody else. I'll use the web site for this kind of fun.

What’s new
