Pros and cons of Lee Valley Library app for iPhone and iPad

Lee Valley Library app good for

And having yet another way to settle into the world of quality that they consistently represent is pure bliss. And to have it all on my wonderful iPad, who can ask for anything more... Nice job folks, keep up the great work. And Kudos to all the great folks in the Halifax, Nova Scotia store!!
My iPad is running 5.1.1, since I upgraded to the latest version the app wont open. I have uninstalled, reinstalled and gone through a complete shutdown to try and rectify the problem, but no luck. I used this app a lot and really miss it! Please get it fixed!
Have been using the app since it first came out. Runs great on my iPad Air.

Some bad moments

No hyperlinks to be found. No way to buy directly from the app. Only moderately useful. LVT clearly had their own bottom line in mind when this was designed. You guys could have done SO much better.
This app is little more than an online program to view electronic version of the printer Lee Valley flyers. Why dont they just give them out on ePub? See little point of the app
Not at all useful - its basically a PDF of the catalogues. Cant search items, no shopping list capability. The website is much more useful.
Since last two updates app wont load on my IPad. Loved the previous version that worked.
Who needs this when you can use iBooks with less storage space, wheres "Add to Cart"? Two stars, no ONE for another deep pockets national chain to make a more usable and intuitive app.
Woodworking tools from Lee Valley are great and I own a lot of them. Unfortunately, their software skills are not as good. Program crashes every time a page number is selected from the index. Very buggy performance.
