Ratings and reviews

This is a simple application. Sometimes, simplicity is the key. However, it's remarkably straightforward to navigate. I found it fascinating to search for a book and then have it placed on hold for a convenient opportunity to pick up at the library. It also makes the renewal process of a book extremely uncomplicated and convenient.

Great app. I can access both mine and my daughter's card without having to log in and out like with the website. The one suggestion I have is to enable placing holds within the list without having to click each individual item. I usually order multiple things at a time and it would be much simpler to have a check box beside list items so you can place multiple holds at a time, instead of just a "remove" button.

This app is great for keeping track of my holds and due dates as well as keeping track of my kids holds, pickups, and due dates as well. It is great that you can add more than just one or two accounts, however, there is no way to remove an account when the card number changes or the child is old enough to be responsible for their account on their own. It would also be really nice if the app would display their name on the account selection screen rather than just the account number, would make account selection much easier. Overall a great and useful app.
