Allow for upcoming Vega associated/linked accounts to be integrated on Innovative Mobile
With the upcoming development of Vega associated/linked patron accounts, we'd like the III Mobile App to integrate this automagically, rather than requiring patrons to set it up both on Vega and on the III mobile app. Vega should supersede the III Mobile App for all account related features.

Support Dark Mode
Support dark mode --- currently, on iOS and Android devices, when Dark is selected, the hamburger menuing options display dark, but the main app still remains in Light mode.

Send the self-check receipt to the patron's email address
Patrons are used to getting ereceipts when they use other self-check devices in the library, so the experience should be the same in the app.

More accessibility to homepage when screen display/text is enlarged
For our elderly and vision-impaired folks - when the display/text on their phone is enlarged, the app display and functionality are very limited. The main problem is, that the menu (and other settings) is inaccessible, so they can't get logged in to the app.
I have attached a screenshot of how the app displays for some of our staff/patrons with vision impairment. If Menu could be added as a tab above Search so that they could log in, that would be ideal.

Ability to sort/filter by material or item type in "Checkouts".
After completing the API integration for OverDrive titles, it is difficult for users to look through their checkouts to determine which ones are physical items and which ones are digital. An option to sort or filter by material or item type would correct this problem.

Repeatable Curbside Pickup Notification
When a patron arrives for a curbside pickup there is an audible notification that sounds on the circulation computer. This is often not heard due to other noise in the area. An option to set this notification to repeat until acknowledged would be very helpful so that patrons are not missed when they come for pickup.

item record order
When viewing a serial bib in the mobile app, it currently lists item records (volumes, seasons) in random order. We think it may be ordering by create date - not sure. It would make more sense to patrons to order these numerically, so volume/season 1 first, volume/season 10 last, in descending order. Two examples are presented here (one is for a DVD with several seasons, and one is for a graphic novel with several volumes).

Due Soon vs. Due Today
Patrons suggests that on the day their book is actually due, the app should reflect "item due now" rather than "due soon" as it is misleading.

Allow patrons to edit the same account details as they can in PAC
In our current PAC, patrons are able to edit their email address, phone number, notification preference, and preferred pickup location. It would be great if they could do those things in the app too.

Add a "Share" Button for Individual Material
A way to improve Innovative Mobile would be the addition of a "Share" button attached to individual material. This would allow patrons to share content they find in the application among each other. This type of enhancement would be incredibly helpful to multiple groups of patrons, such as book clubs, learning groups and patron to patron engagement. This enhancement could help increase patron application usage as well.
An example of this button from fontawesome is the share-from-square icon: https://fontawesome.com/icons/share-from-square?f=classic&s=solid
If the share button copied a link to the clipboard of the device that clicked the button, with the link leading…

Customize Fonts & Typeface
It would be great if we could customize font and typeface (bold headings or increase text size, for example) for items in the app. Some of the text is quite light/thin, and it would be ideal to enhance for better contrast.

Make the barcode number a larger font or add the ability to pinch it larger in portrait mode
Right now we have people complaining that the barcode number is too small to read. We have been advising turning to landscape but it would be nice if the barcode number were larger in portrait mode or if you could pinch the number to zoom in.

Automatic refresh when opening the Solus App
Several staff have shared customer feedback re: the lack of an automatic refresh when opening the Solus App.
Several customers have complained after returning materials directly to a staff member that the items were still reflecting in their accounts when they checked their account in the app following that action.
Staff suggested they go in and click the refresh icon. At that point, the items cleared but, ideally, customers should not have to take that step. The app should auto refresh when customer opens the app.

Scan ISBN in Reading Tracker
Currently when you start a new session, you can either view what you have on loan or type an ISBN number, it would be nice to give patrons the capability to scan the ISBN of a book they have in their hand.

Enable MARC 856 external links
When an item is available online in open source full text, we'd like them to be able to have access to it via the catalog record.

Korean Language Support
I would like to request a Korean translation of the app. We have a decent sized Korean population in our service area who would appreciate it.

Shelf Location and Collection
We've noticed that the shelf location and collection of items does not appear in the app, just branch and call number. Is there a way to add these? It will help patrons find items, especially in our largest branch.

Automatically list newest titles at top of search results.
Often, when searching for the exact title, it becomes buried under seemingly unrelated titles. While the filter system works, often, patrons are looking for the newest title when they search.

Make "available only" default be optional and not the default
In the updated version of the app, when there are some holdings available and some not available, the default display is to show "available only" which the patron then has to 'turn off' to see other libraries that own something. We would like the default display to be all holdings, regardless of availability, and the "available only" filter to be an optional filter that they can select. Or, if not everyone agrees on this, we would like the option then to at least choose our own default display option for holdings.

Can the app include the number of renewels a patron has available for each item.
We currently have this feature on our website, but the app doesn't replicate this important feature. This will let the patron know if they have used up all their renewels.
