Destiny Discover Hack 1.8.0 + Redeem Codes

It’s mind-boggling that the company who made the wonderful Destiny Quest app still has not succeeded in developing a halfway decent library catalog app to replace it. With school libraries as a major client for Follett Destiny and the print collection being a really key part of school libraries, they need a basic app for searching the print collection on iOS. Right now, this app requires logging in and going to a different app tab just to get to the basic search screen, and even then it only searches e-books by default. I understand that they’re a commercial company and really trying to encourage districts to purchase Follett e-books, but they’re failing to provide needed services to many school libraries. It’s too much work for students to log in just to do a quick search, especially younger ones.

It is better than the original Destiny Discover app that didn’t remember our school and regularly had the little spinning circle for far too long.

First off I love that patrons can search, checkout, and read all in one app. However, I wish they would’ve included the features the Destiny Discover shortcut has like new releases, popular titles, ebooks, and audiobooks all displayed with book covers. This would certainly help younger readers and readers who are undecided about what they want to check out. As it is, a patron would have to know what they are looking for and type it into the search bar. Also, the app is defaulted to search ebooks, and if the user isn’t aware of this, they will often come back with no results. Patrons that use this new app have to login since there is no option to search as a guest user, which again makes it difficult for younger users. As another reviewer pointed out, there is no option to place titles on hold. It would be helpful for Follett to update existing apps, rather than continue to release new apps, as it is confusing to most users to try and keep up with which app they need to use.

Not sure where to begin with this app. I am glad there are search and digital checkout features. However, no holds for digital or print is disappointing, no browsing features, like the ribbons on the online version, make the app cold and unappealing, and finally, to still need the Read app to listen to audiobooks is extremely frustrating. This app should not have been pushed out to schools until it could provide what students want and need.

This is much better than the version I had been using. Searches quickly and gives me basic information about titles. I use this app on my phone as I’m walking around the library helping students find books. I no longer have that sense of absolute dread that I had before tapping to open the previous “app” which was no more than a shortcut and NEVER worked efficiently or even correctly.

I know updates are coming but here’s what it still needs:
-Ability to place holds
-ability to browse titles or genres
- linked authors name in details to find more books by the same author
- default to “all materials” rather than “ebooks”

It would be nice to have:
- ability to access and create lists
- ability to edit recently read list (just because I open an ebook doesn’t mean I’ve read it.)

Again I’m using this app in the library as a handheld version of Destiny. I don’t expect all of the functionality of the desktop version but adding those suggested features would make the app more useful to librarians and patrons.

It seems the developers were going more for an ebook reader vibe. Most of my ebooks and audiobooks are housed on a different platform so my patrons can’t access the content through the Destiny Discover app.

This school librarian has been a Destiny customer for 20+ years. The first thing you guys have got to do to improve this is to hire school librarians to be consultants to get this app right. We have all waited far to long for you guys to get this right. For example, I’m trying to highlight on my book but I can’t if the line is to close to the edges where my finger picks up all the frame toolbars. Really?! It is these little things that keep kids from using these ebooks. Hire the consultants. It is time to make this app a priority for as my principal informed me this year, we don’t need a physical library anymore do we? (Yeah, don’t get me started.)

Thank you for bringing back the Destiny Discover app! It’s working great! I was able to easily and quickly open an ebook I already had checked out AND to find another one, as well as search in the print collection. Many, many thanks for getting this going again just as we’re about to return to school and needing an easy way for students to access our extensive ebook collection without having to read on a computer! ❤️👏🏻😺

This app is so disappointing. I can’t even search for my school. I select my state and type the name exactly as it appears in Destiny, tap “Continue” and nothing happens. The web version is unstable on iPads (which our students have). Follett’s apps have always been terrible. It makes me wonder how much they care about their customers and patrons.

Idk why there are so many bad reviews I just got the app and it work just like it says it will it can get any books the school has and you can download them to the only problem is that most books are out so I have to have it one hold but they can’t control that

If you are using a school account, audiobooks and ebooks are available to check out and return online. Which I think is the best feature ever!

This map I had to go through security and I did my password over and over and over again but it never worked. This thing is the worst if I could I’d read it as zero but I’m not allowed to. This is the worst worst worst app I’ve ever tried to use sora is way better than this. Just don’t use this. It’s horrible. It will kill you. It’s horrible.
