[OPEN-ILS-DEV] Beta App Feedback

[Geoff Sams]

I'm at home so I haven't had a chance to really look into things closely, but I did pull up the app and attempt to login, but keep getting an error "Unable to contact login service."

Thanks,

Ken,

So awesome. It feels cool just to log in and use the app. I know I
speak for everyone when I say how much we appreciate your hard work on
this.

From my limited experience so far I'd offer the following:

[-7]: Perhaps we could use another, or expand on the .json file so
that we could include all libraries in a given consortium/system for a
more fine grained GPS based library suggestion
[-6]: Add the consortium level as an option for search scope
[-5]: Along the same lines, make user preferences already stored in
Evergreen accessible/applicable (default locations, etc) or store new
preferences for the app
[-4]: Show some indication of consortium/system/branch levels in
location dropdowns. It's not clear what is a system and what is a
branch, and could make it too easy to set a system as the pickup
location. I'm not sure how that would resolve.
[-3]: Electronic resources don't display their 856 links
[-2]: Subject and series information on the record pages could be links
[-1]: A common feature among library apps, or apps where searching for
books is a likely operation, is a barcode search - I think that would
be a nice addition.

Thanks again! I'm looking forward to playing around with this and
putting it more to use.
