User reviews
This app has saved me so much time and money by showing me where I can find books to borrow versus buy. Tech support is very fast and Andrew is very responsive to my issues. Up-dates occur quickly in response to changes made by libraries, etc.

Very well done and useful for checking a book's availability by format in various libraries, all in one place. Developer was very responsive and kept me in the loop while fixing an issue after a recent update.

Extremely useful add-on! I was very surprised at how quickly a dev fixed it and responded when I sent a message about a library catalog not working.
