Ratings and reviews

I've made numerous attempts to use the KDL app. I've had a librarian verify my logins were correct. They work for the library's Hoopla app, but they do not work for KDL The app crashes every time I try to login. I've restarted my phone, uninstalled and reinstalled the app and still have the same issues. I've emailed the support contacts for the app but no response, not even an auto-generated response. This has been a big waste of time to save some space in my wallet.

My experience has been overall pretty good. It does randomly kick me out and I have to log all the way in with my library card again once in awhile but otherwise it works decent. However it has stopped working completely. It just keeps saying it cannot connect to the Internet. I have tried to reboot my wi-fi and even try my mobile data. I also have uninstalled and reinstalled the app. Nothing is working. Can someone help please?

This app is great and functions quite well. My biggest complaint/issue with it is how it will log me out randomly. This is quite frustrating as the issue has persisted for over a year now and the app nor those who run it have made any effort to fix this, to my knowledge, as of late. Just today I've had to log in to the app twice(I never logged out).

What’s new

Links that previously opened in an external browser now open directly inside the app, allowing for more seamless in‑app browsing.
