Unfortunately, despite nice presentation, the UI on this app seems a significant step back compared to the old Spydus website, often requiring more clicks or page loads than before for routine tasks: for example, to find information about a book, or to renew books on your account (each seems to need to be renewed individually). One marginal benefit is a Barcode scanner, so you can borrow library books without using library machines (provided you can connect to the internet).

Should at least be able to scan your card to log in. Faffier than the website. When I take my boys in it will take a lot more time to log each one in and out of the app than to use the computers. Being so young it's a big deal to them to have their own cards and accounts.

Excellent! Used this app with Hampshire Library Service and functionality is excellent, especially for issuing items. Really easy to use. Would definitely recommend.

All this is is parts of the library system via an app rather than the website and it does nothing that the website doesn't do. In fact it does less, so it's not worth my efforts to use. And where is the ebook/audiobook integration? Why do I have to DL a different app for that? Which is not compatible with all my devices. No thanks.

App installed ok, found library ok but from there the experience was NOT OK! The scrolling function in this app is appalling. Please update to a normal scroll function. Most users will thank you for it. I am curious about back end security for users data. Does the app store your name, address, email and telephone number? If so, how secure is this data? Awaiting developers response. See below for their reply.

The scrolling experience is rubbish and puts me off using the app every time I try. I'm often looking for inspiration so am scrolling long lists of titles. The scroll is too slow, can't keep up and I'm always selecting things I don't want to. It just needs to scroll like every other mobile app around and it'd be so much better and easier to use.
