YLN Catalog

It’s frustrating to put in a search, then click on a book, and then you can’t go back to your search results. You have to start the search all over again to go back to your listings.

The description of the latest update (4/18/24) says “Cover images on the Holds screen will now load the correct images.” No - that has not been fixed. I even logged out and logged back in and I still get the generic cover images for all the books I have on hold. The cover images on the other screens (Checked Out, Discover, various lists) display correctly. Why can’t the app coders fix the hold covers? Very annoying!

I typically don’t write reviews, but I am in the hopes that they YLN folks will listen. I don’t expect the old app to return, but please improve this one! My biggest complaint is that it is very slow to load. I use the app exclusively, not my library card. So the speed in which I can get to it (if it hasn’t logged me out) is cumbersome. It’s just not a great experience overall. I use it only because it’s what I have to use.

Goes to white screen have to delete app and download again, select library again, sign in again

After every 2 weeks or so it logs me out. Then, I have to re-enter my card number because it doesn’t save it. I also think the layout is not great. If you’re going to have a new app, don’t you think it should be better than the original?

I have a book in mind that I want to put on hold, but every time I do a search it crashes and takes me back to the main page. I can’t search at all. I liked the old app, it was reliable and easy to use. Bring back the old app!

This app doesn’t work at all. Crashes constantly. Can’t search for books without it crashing. Can’t place holds without error code’s popping up. Completely frustrating.

Totally glitchy! Bring back the old app!

I dislike this library app so much!!! Please bring back the original app!!! Reasons to never use this app 1. You’ll have to sign in with your library card number every time you want to use the app. 2. You can view accounts on one account but it’s not organized anymore. On the original app you could view all the books and they were organized by each account. Now all the books are shown but not by which card they are on 3. I cannot place any holds!!!!! This is a huge bummer as I’m a homeschooling mom and I do a ton of research on which books to use in upcoming lessons. Do you do any research when making this new and “improved” app?!

Just updated to this new app and the categories do not work. I cannot browse books, I can only search if I know the title of author I am searching for.
