Ratings and reviews

ORIGINAL REVIEW: Perfect! Just what I needed to keep track of my family's library loans. Thanks! UPDATE: The app temporarily stopped logging into my library accounts automatically, due to a change in my local library's system. The developer was very quick to update the app and it is now working perfectly again. Amazing service, especially for a free app. Thank you 😊

Have found it extremely useful in allowing me to make full use of my library. In searching for available books, author searches and a history of my past bool/author loans. I must also say I noticed something that changed and it was corrected within a couple of days. Excellent to know some really cares about his clients and software.

Brilliant app - can keep an eye on the books the kids have borrowed as well as my own. Easy to renew and to reserve items. Highly recommended - thankyou very much!
