LibAnywhere App Reviews

55 add

Great app, but

Great app for on the go, but the scan card option doesnt work. Bug? It would be very handy of it did!!

Has been changed?

I found this app easy to use. However, recently it seems that LibAnywhere no longer saves my library card number. I hope this can be changed, as I do not carry around nor have memorized this very long number. It was very handy to be able to check on due dates, renew with a click, and browse the catalogue.

Wheres my location?

Its only offering north van (district and city), west van and whistler. Why not VPL-Vancouver republic library? I dont have cards for north Van, whistler or bby. Using my VPL card info doesnt log me in.

HORRIBLE!

This app is horrible. It is glitchy, saying my session has timed out as I am logging in. The bar code scanner doesnt work and it doesnt remember multiple users.

Worst app!

Nothings working. Terrible UI. Toddler can it make better than this. Rating? Not worth even a star. And funny its for over 17 yr.

Lousy App

Was recommended by my local library to use, but app had problems finding my library (same screen accessed 2 different ways, only 1 way worked). Could not get my account. Entered name and typed in barcode (because the scanner part did nothing) hit submit and nothing happened. No error message, nothing.

Terrible UI and speed

I want to like this app like I love Overdrive. But why is the txt so big? I cant read the checked out items easily when it truncates to multiple lines due to the enormous size. Is it for old people who have trouble reading small fonts? Well thats a shame, because Im sure those older folks will think its their fault when the search doesnt work. I searched for a new book called "bleaker house." I got everything but that result. Not bleak house which unfortunately I would hope to see in the SRPs, but in fact I got nothing remotely related to the original search terms. Ugh. I will try this app three more times to see if its even remotely useful. Otherwise its mobile web interface for me! Sorry guys! Who does your UX testing?

Listen!

Should have listened to the reviews. This app does nothing. I cant see the books I checked out, and theres always an error message popping up.

Doesnt Work Anymore

Used to work, but I cant do a thing anymore in iOS6. It forgot my settings and I can no longer find local libraries. <sigh>.

Worst App Ever

All the reviews are true. It crashes all the time, freezes all the time and a waist of time.

Sad. Just sad.

Sad that LibraryThing lends its name to this sad and half-azzed crapp.

Needs updating!!

Ill give it 3 stars since its useable. Its useable but mind numbing slow! I only using if I cant be at a computer. This needs to be updated for iPhone 5 and iOS 6. Why do I have to type I. My library card every time I want to do something? Please update!

No Circulation Number

Good app. It is simple and easy to use with multiple libraries. However, the app does not seem to show circulation numbers for books within said libraries. These numbers are great for tracking down books as one delves through countless shelves in a large library, since most libraries I visit are oriented and organized using those number. Its a regrettable omission.

Has some potential

This app has some good features, but it needs updating. It would be great if it could store my library card number in there permanently instead of me having to enter it each time.

Significantly less useful

Our library asked us to update our app to this, and suddenly its much more of a hassle to do my library business from my phone. It is a pain to have to log in 5 times in one season just to place holds and renew books. If it could remember by log in that would be perfect but as it is I have to log in several times in each season making it less worth my time and energy.

Great app!!

The new update is working well on my iPhone5. Lets me search and save books to my phone. Does what it should. Thanks!!

One word

Horrible

It is terrible

Horrible

Lib app

I really liked this app. The only thing that was bad was that it did not show my book lists. Everything else was just what I wanted.

Works Great for me!

The app is simple and fairly easy to use. I dont know why other people are complaining...maybe their library isnt compatible with this app.
