Ratings and reviews

2.5 stars. Nice selection of titles and not having a credit system or wait times is nice. However. The interface is awkward. Pages can load slowly. Download speeds are terrible (especially compared to other library apps like Hoopla). I'm currently at the library and on their wifi. Downloaded a comic from Hoopla and it took less than 30 seconds. On the same device on the same wifi, a title from this app has been downloading for over 10 minutes and still has a ways to go.

There is a reason for all the low ratings - the app simply DOES NOT WORK! It's a good app to see what comics and graphic novels are available at your library. But do yourself a favor and just go to the Library Pass website to read the content. It still may be slow but at least you get some response and can eventually read. You can't read on the app. Sometimes it takes minutes (yes, I said MINUTES) for a single page turn. Horrible app. Even with the constant updates the devs cannot make it work.

The service itself and the collection available to users is fantastic. The actual application is barely usable. There are 0 usability settings and the buffering times are atrocious. Downloading appears to be entirely pointless as you're not able to access anything offline whether it's downloaded or not. For a free service it could be worse but there are far better alternatives.
