Ratings and Reviews
Editors’ Notes
There’s only one thing easier than visiting your local library: bringing it to you. Simply link your library card and log in to freely access ebooks, audiobooks and magazines.
Filter Search
I stumbled on this app by accidental and absolutely like this. Easy to use and super convenient when i want to search for a book. Only thing i see that could make app more enjoyable will be refining the filter function. I would like more if there is an author search that would show me all the books available
Fickle syncing
I like the ease in borrowing ebooks from my local library. But I don’t particularly enjoy the syncing issues. If multiple books are due on a certain day, I’d prefer the reminders for all the affected books to be sent at the same time, regardless of the actual time borrowed previously. Currently it’s like if I borrow one book at 4pm then another book at 5pm, the reminders will be sent at the same hours respectively, instead of like everything at 9am. Syncing between the app and kobo is also an issue, books that I am still on borrowing terms on the app will be listed as expired on kobo. Needing to refresh every time is a bit of a hassle, especially when it’s displayed wrongly anyway and some books won’t even show up on kobo.
