Ratings and reviews

The app was initially working perfectly on my Android phone and was really convenient to use as opposed to logging in to the website. However, over the past few days, the app was not showing up to date details of the books loaned and reservations status and was constantly giving communication errors to the server. And now the app seems to have totally broken down and it gives the following error: "Unable to connect to server. Please make sure you have a network connection and then try again"

UNUSABLE. not visually accessible to those of us with reading/visual difficulties/impairments - white text on red or black background!?! absolutely awful, and really should know better, it's well known black text on white is best for those of us with print/visual impairment. app also simply doesn't work - cannot sign in at all, cos it doesn't recognise network connection. ZERO STARS. reflects very baldly on London Borough Councils.

This app is ok but needs a bit more work to bring it up to the same level as the online edition. It's a bit confusing when looking at books and doesn't tell you all the information the online edition does such as the status of something if you've got it on hold. However, I do like the fact you can take a picture of a book and it tells you if it has it in a library. I can see that being really helpful. Apart from that, I would prefer to just go online.
