Excellent app

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.

Great app

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

Very Good

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

Great!

I really like this app! Now I can browse on my phone

Awesome.

Barcode on my iPhone! Holds info! Searchable! Yeah!

Nearly a perfect App.

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

Crashing

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

Loading loading loading...

The app is a great idea. And pretty awesome when it works. But I find more often than not it either freezes on me or just sits there loading the page for forever and never actually retrieving the information. Sometimes restarting it works. But Ive been checking periodically for 4 days now and its still loading. App had already been uninstslled and reinstalled 4 time. Great concept but still needs a lot of work.

NEEDS TO BE UPDATED

THIS APP IS SLOW IT HAS A HARD TIME GETTING MY LOCATION AND THERE ARE A LOT OF BUGS THAT HAVE TO BE FIX.....

Cant load my profile

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.

Great time saver

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.

Good but..

The app overall is good....if you can get It to load.. The borrowing section works when it wants to. Needs improvement!

Wish it worked

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!

Great when it works

Ive had this app for about a month now, and it is a great app, allows ppl to browse for what they want, place holds, check due dates, etc.... but atleast for me, it seems to crash often, and forget my barcode/password. If the crashing, and losing info was fixed, this would be an all around great app.

Excellent app!

Great for using when youre on the go, and it makes tracking borrowing super-simple! The addition of badges to show when holds are available would make this a 5-star app.

Crashfest

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

Useful for tracking your library borrows and searching the library

Please update this for iPhone 5

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.

Urgent

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

Good, but could use improvement

I love how accessible the library is now. Since I discovered this app, Ive placed more holds on books than I did in the 10 years previous. Some things that need fixing: 1) sometimes it signs me out and when I put my card number and password in, it wont sign me in. It says its an invalid card number, but I know I typed it in exactly as shown. 2) I would love it if the settings would include the phone number that the library calls when I have a hold at my default library. It keeps calling my parents house, but I dont know how to change it. Really though, with this app, I dont need a phone call.
