Ratings and reviews

As others have said, UI is good. Main problem is that it often logs me out and I have to enter everything again. 3 times just this week. And it doesn't save your info to make logging in easier. Please fix this!

Overall a good app. Often it will log me out after a few days of inactivity, and it's a pain to fill in my library card number again and again and again. This happens to me at least once a week. UI is easy to understand, and all the features work well. I appreciate the self-checkout feature!

It's got a simple and functional UI. It's good! I'd recommend adding a notification option for borrowed books. That would help a lot. Additionally, I'd highly recommend adding recommendations based on borrow history, filtered search based on branch, and review pop-up when book is returned. When you modernize the entire UI like Audible, Blinkist, this would do well.
