Ratings and reviews

app keeps crashing at the log in page saying that it can't connect to the Internet though everything else on my phone is working fine.

The virtual library card is useless, can't be scanned in the library, so you have to carry your physical card anyway. The app does offer a nice summary page of your checked out books and holds, and when they're due.

Love the app. Easy to maneuver. I borrow books and pick in a venue. Was able to get a tax filing place via the app. Shows what is going on in various public libraries, too. 👍
