OPL Mobile App Reviews

It can handle the basic things for holds, and borrowing, but I would like to see "saved for later", and the app wont open without Internet connection. This means I cant use my barcode. Automatically add due dates to my google calendar would be nice as well.

Finally theres an app for that! This is so much easier than trying to navigate the website on my iPod Touch. The interface is clean and easy to use and placing a hold is a breeze. Great job, OPL!

I would like the icon not to zoom in

Not a bad app! Everything I need is there! Can you add something so it recommends books for you based on previous books? Love the My Browsing section! Keeps everything in order so now I wont miss my book because the stupid automated caller called me two weeks after the book was gone!

This app is so tubular.

Love the app, but it still could be improved. A push notification option would be a great addition. That way, you would get notifications about books coming due, overdue, holds, etc. Still a great app!

Really good app, but please add the "for later" list to the my borrowing section. When I want to request a book from my for later list, I cant do it through the app. Add that feature and I will rate it 5 out of 5. Thanks!

Was a great app when i downloaded in feb but now it takes too long to load if it even loads. Ive notified developer and received no response or fix. Dont waste your time until it works again if it ever does!

Very useful and very easy to use.

Good: One of my use-every-few-days apps. When are my books due? Anything overdue? What number am I on the hold list? Renew items. Bad: Slow to load info. Future enhancement needed: Allow me to set up SMS reminders on items coming due.

This app is easier to operate than the OPL website. I was able to browse new books, see my account status and place holds. I like it.

Im a frequent user of the Ottawa Library and regularly used its website, which I found quite easy to use. This app is even better. The OPL tech staff are, from what I see, very competent and responsive to users requirements.

. More intuitive and easier to use than the website. Unfortunately it hangs when refreshing and often wont work again until the phone is restarted. Annoying!

....can you show the iPad a little love ;)

Great idea. Somewhat buggy implementation. Some days it takes forever to load, somedays its fast. Other days it just crashes.

The app accumulates data whenever you browse the library and never deletes it. Ive got 305 MB of data related to this app. This is unacceptable. Have a look at your Settings, General and then Storage.

I cant seem to reserve anymore What does add to my shelves mean.

Old app no longer has access. Have older phone which new OPL app will not support. Goodbye OPL. Will miss you!!

Wont load on my old iTouch. Additional functionality questionable.

App used to be great but now doesnt work. Login window has no info, keeps shutting down, cant get info. Useless.
