Ratings and reviews

This app is very laggy and loads at a snail's pace... very frustrating to use. Not to mention that the seat booking page requires 3 redirected pages before getting there when it could have been a very quick and simple tap had it been in the app itself. When you get to the page, it expires so quickly and to refresh, I would have to exit 3 pages, re-enter the same 3 pages, and login yet again just to get back to the booking page. This is honestly such a disappointment; please fix these issues.

The app has been very super leggy or late. Even in the library. Even the kiosks have gone backwards...always have issues scanning multiple books...end up everyone scanning books one by one. Very disappointing that things have become so backwards despite constant upgrading...I had a better experience borrowing books using kiosk service and app in 2019 and 2022..now it's not even comparable to 2019. Ridiculous upgrades.

Super laggy, non intuitive, doesn't work most of the time. Just stick to the old method of borrowing books and issue receipt if you can't manage advancement in technology.
