Ratings and reviews

will not work at all Error message only. I got this last year and it was the most amazing app I've ever used to find books, but after the update, it won't let me look anything up. I can see titles but when I choose one it gives an error message every time. It's very sad. I wish it would go back to the old version!

Bnf Gallica is one of the best apps I have ever known! It's quite educational and ri ch in documents of all kinds dating back from pre historical to modern age... It remains my best search engines at times of great needs.

I love the idea and also the UI design, but I wasn't able to get any pictures to load even if my internet is working well and the same picture loads on website version. Really hope things improve in future, I really really love this database and it helped me tremendously.
