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!

This is a good app except for one thing. That thing is why I don't rate it higher. Why does this and the VPL app lock on mobile data? I only use wifi since my internet and many other hotspots allow for free or included internet that is not mobile based. Many consider this locking on of mobile mixed with location on as spyware. I can turn location off in permissions but not mobile data. I can in other items including my sports band. Please fix this data lock on your app and the VPL one.
