Dakota County Library 17+

Not a bad app. Easy to search and add content to hold list. If a book is in the system as ‘being purchased’ it does show up on the app, but you need to go to the actual website in order to place hold. Doesn’t always maintain a connection to a secondary account. Also cuts off phone audio if playing music when opening: why this app needs audio access I don’t know...

I had been using this app for years and mostly had great experiences. I enjoyed being able to search the catalog, place holds, monitor checkouts and due dates, and have access to my barcode on my phone. However, within the last month, that all changed. As many others have stated in their reviews, the app no longer connects to the library server, so I can’t search within the app and can’t place holds. My account information regarding checkouts/holds is inaccurate and won’t update. In its current iteration, aside from being able to access my barcode through my phone, the app is useless.

So far I like the app but I wish I was able to access my lists that I’ve created. I had downloaded hoping I’d be easily able to access these and check out easier but appears I’ll have to check back for a later version. My issue with the website is that we can’t seem to stay logged in, which thankfully the app does! It’s handy to see which books are where & see what you currently have checked out. Get the lists on the app and this will be a five star app!
