Pros and cons of HPL Mobile app for iPhone and iPad

HPL Mobile app good for

I have been waiting for this for a while. The online catalogue is excellent and this app seems to have all the same key functionality.

This is great app. The took the very easy to navigate web site and condensed it into a app that is easier to navigate.

Finally! Trying to browse the site was so difficult on my phone. This makes it so much easier. So far I love it.

Thank you HPL. Once again youve proven to be a leader in public access library and archiving services.

Great app! However, it just crashes immediately if offline. It would be nice to cache some borrowing data for offline scrutiny

This app is so much better then trying to go to the hpl site. Very easy. Does have a few issues with freezing. Overall, great idea.

Some bad moments

Love the idea of this app but it doesnt work very well in the my borrowing section. First time you log in its great but cant update after that. I either need to log out and back in or delete the app and reload.

Love the idea of this app, just wish My Borrowing would load! Ive had to delete and reload the app several times. Come on, fix it already!

This has frozen no less than 6 times in the last two months. I have had to uninstall and reinstall every time. This happens consistently on the my borrowing tab.

Great app but you released an 5 months after the iPhone 5 is released but still havent updated it for the new screen? Please update and add passbook support for the library card. Also, why does this app need to store almost 40MB on iCloud? Its one of the top apps that stores data on my iCloud backup and makes no sense why it needs to store anything to iCloud.

Needs an update for iPhone 5 and iOS 7. Also the app freezes frequently.

The first page loads and loads and loads and never actually works
