VPN is required for providing seamless access to institutional subscribed eResources. With VPN, we are NOT monitoring all traffic of the app. The purpose of the VPN is to route traffic for the subscribed eResources domains securely through the MyLOFT’s servers which are specifically assigned for the subscribing Institution.
We, at MyLOFT, want to make sure we are transparent with our users about the need for VPN permission. You can also check the domains going through the VPN, by following the below-mentioned steps:
Go to the Profile screen on tapping the top logo
Click on Help
Click on About VPN

Ratings and reviews

The purpose of an app like this is to read - at least for me. But MyLoft is not suitable for reading on tablets or phones. Opening a magazine (e.g. The Economist), forces you to read in a browser screen. This is slow on opening, slow with browsing, unresponsive, illegible and user unfriendly. Yes, you can zoom, like you would on a badly designed page that you have to read, but you can't read comfortably as you would in an app. You can't navigate well. Worse (well, equally bad), it doesn't work offline. So no taking your magazines with you when you fly. You always need the slow and redundant VPN connection. This app feels more like a proof of concept that shouldn't have made it to a real product than a real app. After RBDigital, I couldn't imagine that the British Council could find a worse library app. I'm sad to say that they have. (PS, @MyLoft, please don't paste your standard response that you're working hard; that's worse than no response).
