Moving in the right direction...a ways to go

Update: Finally KCLS is moving in the right direction with their app. Certainly much slower than other library systems, but better late I guess. The app is much more robust with features previously lacking and although not the best and most intuitive layout, with trial and error you can figure it all out.

There is still no way to search for books by the same author when on a books page however. And I wish the filter had more options, like filter by genre or subject. I would like to be able to see the reviews & comments in the app and the ability to limit search to a specific word and exclude derivatives of that word.

Overall a much better app than before. But still some room for significant improvements.

————————

Compared to other library app, this one is underwhelming. If you find a book and want to see other books by the same author, you have to back out and search by that author rather than have hyperlinks from the book page. There’s also no predictive text feature, limiting when searching book titles.

It’s glitchy as well. Every time I try to look at my For Later Shelf, it crashes. Just easier to go to the online site and delete the app.

Yess

I think that this app is so helpful for kids adults and really all ages. It is help me get through so many books in such a short time while cleaning cooking and just the lack of social time that I would have to endure just trying to go out and check out a book 10 out of 10 would recommend

Bad Update

This app was great until the recent update on 4/2. Now it takes so long to process information that the app times out. I cannot use any of the “bookshelf” features at all. They show up blank. Please fix this!
