The NYPL online rental system can be incredibly frustrating. Accessing books through its website often results in constant redirects to CloudLibrary or SimplyE, which frequently show errors. Even when using those apps directly, success can feel like a matter of luck due to their buggy functionality. It raises the question: is this a strategy to push readers toward purchasing books instead of borrowing them, or is it just a lack of concern for users? It feels like this library system exists without truly serving its purpose.
This app needs some fine tuning!
Won’t allow me to place holds or find any info regarding my account.
Won’t Open
Bad Update.
Used to work before the update.
Now, the App won’t stay open.
Still NO Apple Wallet Support
Don’t understand why they will not provide us with the option to add our NYPL card to our Apple Wallet. It would be more convenient to have it on our Apple Wallet instead of carrying the paper card or trying to log into app in an area of the city with no cellular connection.
Great potential, bad execution
The screen freezes most of the time when opening the page for a title, so I’m unable to reserve it.
Slow to load
When I search for a book and click on one of the entries, it takes forever to load the details about the book and where it’s held. It makes the app practically impossible to use to place holds.
Apple wallet
Clunky, hard to use, and no Apple wallet support.
Can’t add account
NYPL, do better
Great, Helpful App
It helps if you are checking if the book is at the library and if not you have another option “Place Hold”. It helps me know when to get it and it is easy to use. Good app
Searches not work
Since the most recent update the search section does not return back any results :(
