Ratings and reviews

The new app is much better than the old from what I have gathered. The interface is much nicer and smoother. However, searching the catalog constantly yields no results! The website shows data while this app can't find it. Additionally, a small bug seems to be when you click on the email link in the contact us section, it tries to initiate an online chat.

While the new app has a nicer interface than the old app, it is ultimately disappointing as a replacement, because the seach tool - the main feature of a library app - is a major step backwards. It is slower, details about the material are hidden away in sub-menus, the "similar" sub-menu suggests material the library doesnt carry, one cannot limit one's search to specific branches, etc.

They should have kept the other app. This one you cant pay your fines and you cant completely view readers reviews on the books. It's just not the same at all. please update with more things or bring back the old app.
