Ratings and Reviews
Really excited to use
I’ve been wanting a BPL app for over a year, so I’m extremely happy there is one now! It’s really straightforward to use, but there’s one thing I can’t seem to figure out. You have to make an appointment to go pick up books, and I can’t find how to do that in the app. But overall I’m so excited that there’s an app now!
Sorry but garbage
Sorry but this app is just garbage. I can’t find the books checked out to me anywhere in the app, I can’t open them in Kindle, and I can’t browse the entire library (by category), just the new acquisitions. And it doesn’t sort series by number. And you can change the color at night to dark — but it doesn’t change the app’s borders which remain bright white (and there’s no full screen option). A monkey could’ve designed a better app. Did BPL’s tech person design this app by him/herself or did an actual app designer get paid for this? If so, BPL — you should ask for your money back.
Good app, could use more polish
Covers all the basics, with management of your BPL account being very useful (e.g. renewing on the go). It is annoying that the UI is unresponsive until the "recently viewed" carousel has loaded, when I never look at it.
