Ratings and reviews

Can't login, it shows 404 on the webpage after entering credentials, and then it doesn't show the embedded browser at all. Update: I can't refresh the page. Embedded browser is closing immediately, and there is no way to refresh on the login page. Update: thanks to the support team, very responsive! While trying to collect more data for them I realized it didn't connect because I used my pass ID instead of the username, so it couldn't log me in. With username all good! Still worth fixing!

Good app, you can borrow and read books quit easily. It however is frustrating that you can not remove books you finished reading. As there is a limit to the number of books that can be borrowed, I periodically can not lend anymore books as they are still on my "boekenplank" . The books are removed automatically at the end of the period for which you can read them, but not any sooner. For this frustration alone I have deducted 2 stars.

Searching for books is much easier than in previous app, that's nice. Logging in took a long time though. In audiobooks I came across some problems: it just pauses and then jumps to other chapters. Also the 30s back button often brings me to the next chapter... After closing the app it often just starts at the beginning of the chapter instead of where I stopped last time. And because of a bug in 30s button it takes a long time to find it back.
