Ratings and reviews

The service that this app provides is phenomenal. It has a great, robust library of books that's different and complimentary to other public library apps I use. The app design and functionality is unfortunately janky as hell. It's to the point where recently the entire app has stopped working telling me "Network not found," and nothing I try has been able to get it to connect again. Sidenote: turns out the settings menu is not available offline, which seems a very bad call.

It's a pretty solid app that I've gotten some really solid use out of but there are two gripes I've got, one of which is big and the other is minor. The biggest issue is that despite the ability to download comics to read (as opposed to streaming them), the app seems to need to make a request to determine which books are on your shelf and downloaded. If you're not online, no books show up in your collection even under the downloaded tab. Also, the search function is clunky and unpredictable.

I am a middle school teacher and hope I can get my students to utilize this. I found the UX to be logical and the app doesn't seem laggy. When I tried to search for a graphic novel, "Bone Talk", no results came up and the page was blank. Would be nice if suggested books would pop up if you cannot find the one you are looking for. I think tagging could be comprehensive as well. My students are going to want to search for things they like and the search is not that flowy.
