Ratings and reviews

I was excited to learn that my favorite library had an app, but it's essentially just the catalog and hours etc. and doesn't let me download eBooks, instead just sends me to their site, which I already have booked marked. Maybe they will add that feature, until now, I don't see it being any more useful than their mobile website (which is pretty decent honestly).

Up until last year sometime this app was convenient; after inputting my name and library card number it "remembered me" each time so I didn't have to re-enter that information. It's been "broken" for months now, not allowing me to enter my name, and only remembering a few digits of my card number, and although they're aware that it no longer works no fix has been forthcoming. I uninstalled it and will use their website on my devices instead. They may as well not have an app.

The app is great for searching for any book they have at any of their 3 branches. Their response time for gathering all my requests at my closest branch is within 24 hours. That's superb! Searching in "Prospector" is easy and again the response time is immediate. My only complaint (and the reason for 4 stars instead of 5, is this; the library no longer issues warnings one day in advance of the DUE DATE. My Loveland Account still does. Since PVL stopped warning us of due dates, I have amassed to grand sum of $3.20. I might have to mortgage the house !!?? KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK !!!
