Good App. Finally found perfect app. I've two issues hope you will correct it. 1) It is showing " To read list" I want list for current reading and finished reading list. 2) How can I add thumbnails or cover page for my books instead of question mark.
To use the isbn scanner, you're forced to download they're barcode scanner even though I already have one. No thank you.
Wonderful, wonderful app! A dream come true for me! And it's free! I have been wanting to inventory my books so I can see what I have, what to keep, what to loan. Black Books is simple to use, easy on the eyes. I'm able to scan ISBNs, save time on input. And for personal vintage books I own, I take a picture of their covers! Other apps have this photo option, but Black Books enables me to also rotate and edit the photo direction--NO OTHER book inventory app gave me this option! Absolutely LOVE this app!
It would not let me add any books. At all. It just gave me error messages. I even downloaded their barcode app (which is stupid, most phones already have at least one of those already.) and that is even gave me error messages. I reported the problem and waited for awhile for some kind of update to fix the it, but nothing came. Uninstalled.
Tell us what you think
(Negitive Stars) Would Not Add My Books😳 Would Say I Needed To Add Add The Scanner Even After I Did🤔 Then Would Shut Down. Awkward😠01.11.2020
