Nice Idea But Needs Work

Its nice that libraries are providing this service for patrons but the app needs some big improvements to make it more user friendly.

-The app has no FAQ or Help section whatsoever. You have to go to the Freegal web page to get any instructions on how to use it. And they arent that great. (Maybe Freegal thinks people who work at the library have time to give tech support for their product.)
-Offers features such as playlists but doesnt show you how to create them or offer to do so for you.
-Clunky interface and not at all intuitive.
-Only shows "most popular" genres and songs/albums. Have to use "search" feature. If you dont like top 40 pop/country/hip hop or your genre isnt popular on freegal you usually have to search for an artist, which can be time consuming.

It is FREE so I have no complaints about the download limit or the often limited selection, but there are tons of free apps out there--of all kinds--that are much better written and more intuitive.
