ISO call numbers
By Timmy Tommie (Pcmac user)
Love the upgrade but I wish I could see call numbers and locations of books. I have to go to the website to find that now. Please bring back location and call number info! Without this information the app is almost useless unless you are putting a hold on a book!

Example of design without the user in mind
By Sphinxmanfive (Pcmac user)
The app still does not alert you when items are due, overdue or holds available.
The new app removed one of the best features, the as ability to tell you which branch had an item. Now it tells you it's available and allows you to place a hold on it.
They also do not respond to requests for assistance.
Please fix this app.
Thank you

LOVE the new app design!!
By Meme1232114 (Pcmac user)
I love the this app. Their app has always been functional and did everything you needed. Even though the previous app version was visually outdated, I was happy to see that there were never any issues with how the app worked. Now with this new redesign I’m in love all over again!! The only request I’d like to make is to have page counts displayed for the books, but that’s probably a big request. Either way thanks CPL!

Super useful
By Éophur (Pcmac user)
I love being able to keep track of everything I have checked out and renew all right from my phone. It also makes searching for books super easy, and tells you which library the book is at
