Ratings and reviews

I got to say that I am pleased with how the update fixed all the problems I had with the app. It's impressive really, the interfaces and menu are so much better than before. Neater, very modern looking, although there is a small issue keeping it from being a 5 star experiment. For some reason the home inferface is very laggy, very choppy, and I'm thinking it had something to do with your servers, although it's not the way on the other interfaces, so I would suggest getting that fixed in someway.

Checked out, requests, balance, etc. should be easily accessible from anywhere in the app but instead you must click through several selections to get to it. The user's wishlist and history of checked items are nowhere to be found which is a big con for me. I'd also like to suggest that it would be great if users could get reminder notifications for when a book is almost due or a request is ready for pickup. I do like that I can scan with my barcode in the app in case I forget my card.

Love the Queens Library app! By far the fastest way to renew books and check the status of requests (and closing time!). The only thing keeping it from getting 5 stars is that the app (and the mobile website, too) doesn't show me my wishlist like I can see on the website with my computer. I use that to pick what to read next; it'd be super helpful to be able to see my list from my phone while browsing in the library.
