Thank you for bringing back the Destiny Discover app! It’s working great! I was able to easily and quickly open an ebook I already had checked out AND to find another one, as well as search in the print collection. Many, many thanks for getting this going again just as we’re about to return to school and needing an easy way for students to access our extensive ebook collection without having to read on a computer! ❤️👏🏻😺

Idk why there are so many bad reviews I just got the app and it work just like it says it will it can get any books the school has and you can download them to the only problem is that most books are out so I have to have it one hold but they can’t control that

First off I love that patrons can search, checkout, and read all in one app. However, I wish they would’ve included the features the Destiny Discover shortcut has like new releases, popular titles, ebooks, and audiobooks all displayed with book covers. This would certainly help younger readers and readers who are undecided about what they want to check out. As it is, a patron would have to know what they are looking for and type it into the search bar. Also, the app is defaulted to search ebooks, and if the user isn’t aware of this, they will often come back with no results. Patrons that use this new app have to login since there is no option to search as a guest user, which again makes it difficult for younger users. As another reviewer pointed out, there is no option to place titles on hold. It would be helpful for Follett to update existing apps, rather than continue to release new apps, as it is confusing to most users to try and keep up with which app they need to use.
