Olathe Public Library

As someone who appreciates the benefits of a public library, this app is a boon as I'd be able to mange my account on the go. It's nice to be able to add friend recommendations or books i see on the out and about to my holds list. My only problem with this app, and it's the only thing preventing it from a five star rating. When you refine a search you're presented with several search options including genre. Within the genres category the selection is severely limited. You have the whole of fantasy and sf included within literature. I read nearly nothing but those within those genres. I'm unable to browse through to find the latest arrivals; instead I have to sort through thousands of books. There's also a lack of comic/graphics options. It's as If the programmer of this app has a beef with these genres and chose not to include them, even though the option already exists within the OPL website.

This app does not allow logins on iOS 7 devices. It also needs to be updated to support modern screen sizes.

Very intuitive and user friendly. Wonderful app!

I love this app. It has made my life so much easier and simpler by always having access to which books are checked out and when they are due back. I can manage my holds & suspensions and search for new books with ease. I use it ALL the time since my children and I frequent the library so often. I do wish that they had an iPad version. The only downside to this app is when I search for books and the book is not available, it doesn't tell me how long the queue line is until after I have put it on hold. It also doesn't tell me how many copies they have of that book to estimate how fast the queue will move. I can find this out on my PC but not my mobile app.
