Ocean State Libraries Reviews

Constantly freezes and forces you to delete app and reinstall.

Bring back Libby. This one is terrible

The second to last version of OceanStateLibraries worked well. I relied on it and enjoyed using it. The last version of OceanStateLibraries only allowed me to use the library card barcode for scanning. I relied on it. This version of OceanStateLibraries is completely nonfunctional. I have an iphone 6s. Considering this is a public library app, it should be functional for a wider variety of phones, including older ones.

The old app worked fine. The new app does not work on my older phone. Poor people frequently have older phones. Fixing what wasn’t broken has the expected results. The library has inadvertently excluded poor people from access. This certainly is counter to the library’s mission.

I have an iPhone 7. Old app worked great. This one keeps crashing before I can open it. Please fix so it works with older phones too. We can’t all afford newer iPhones. Thanks!

OceanStateLibraries doesn’t open; it instantly crashes. I tried deleting and redownloading but no luck. Please fix this soon!! I love my library!! I will update review when it’s fixed xoxo

It locks up on my iPhone. I can’t enter the pin.

I found OceanStateLibraries almost impossible to listen to: an audiobook would unexpectably stop and need to be re-started; sometimes at the end of a chapter, sometimes after long periods of continuity. It's a 3 or 4 step process to go from sleep to playing, instead of a simple button press to wake the player (iPhone.) I understand publishers want to make audiobooks easier to protect, but OceanStateLibraries is making them hard to enjoy. I hope it will be polished and upgraded.

Since yesterdays version update to 24.05.00 OceanStateLibraries only crashes. No matter how many times the awesome ladies at the appanaug branch tried to help me uninstall and reinstall it.
We were able to confirm that I was downloading the new app but even they could not understand why OceanStateLibraries keeps crashing.
If this could please get fixed I really enjoyed being able to check for books and media and request holds on them right on my iphone.

Whenever there’s a long list of checked out or Hold items and I attempt to use filter to select only physical materials, the sorting goes into a neverending tailspin. This does not happen with other filters chosen.

I am really enjoying the look of the new app. The thematic carousels of book covers that greet you make browsing for a potential read much easier. It really complements my use of the Libby app. This is a great improvement over the last version.
