PLS Connect Customer Insights

1. After contacting the developers it was fixed and is running great again.Books (some digital) and authors that I search for and found on the desktop site, will not even show up on the app.Doesn't work, can't download.

2. It would be nice to be able to search for book by other categories beside book title - author, call number, etc.I've been using this app for about a year and a half now, I have had no issues until two days ago when it wouldn't allow me to log in.

3. The searching is very limited, even when putting in what would be popular keyword as a search term seems limited by 100 results.

4. I tried changing my pin number and even checking the card expiration, which is a year away, and it still won't let me log in; which is why it's getting a two star rating instead of the give I would have given it.This app is absolutely awful and useless.

5. I'll stick with the actual website but use the app to check up on holds and finesI've been trying for a couple of months to get logged in.

6. I can can see my checkouts and holds, but can't search.

7. Also you can only have 11 holds....Since the upgrade, search is impossible.

8. Why doesn't this app work on an Android?App does not work on Android 6.0.1. Old app does not appear to be available.

9. Edit: The app now functions! I just wish it had more search capabilities.

10. Anything I search for pulls up a screen with no information on anything.

11. Please fix this app so I can actually search and hold books.
