1st 3 barcodes I scanned came up title not found. Given that the whole point of the app is to catalogue my fathers book collection without doing loads of typing, this makes it rather pointless. Uninstalled - I'll look for something with a more up to date ISBN database
For the last three days I have not been able to add books. Msg says technical problems with the server. I have 2500 books in my collection that I am afraid I'll lose. What's up?
Been using this for a few years. OK but not brilliant. Underlying ISBN database is now almost useless - about one code in 50 has book data!
It's alive... thought this app was abondoned.
A little clumsy at times, and no ios version hold this app back. Also the scan and ibn lookup often yield no results. Aside from these problems, this app has a great deal of functionality and is a real life saver at the bookstore when looking at what we have and do not have. The wish list feature is great corvtjat as well.
So is there a way that people could help widen the catalog and fill in information that then will come up for other people when they search for the book? Personally I would love to help by putting the information for some of my books in if it's going to help others. Also I do suggest adding a separate spot for ISBN and the Barcode because if you search by one in May not find the book but if you search by the other it might. Lastly I was wondering if you could add a spot for the illustrator of the books I think that would be cool. But overall I love the app and the concept keep working to make it better cause it can always improve but Thank You.
Wish it worked! Scan barcode, search for data, get book cover photo but nothing else: No Title, no Author, nothing! Creator ought to check similar apps for better ISBN lookup databases. Otherwise, this has every function I want, except for a faster built-in barcode scanner.
I thought this app was great! And it still is if you want something basic. I use another app now for movies and books, a free app, that pulls from IMDB and IBDB that gives much more details of the book that you enter. The new Database also allowes the user to edit the veiw of your DB, add selections, it auto fills for you, and it allows you to add your own photos, ect. And the best part, the new App is free and does it all for free.
It gets the front cover image but NONE of the book information! Complete waste of my time.
Need an app that allows me to select multiple items and apply an action to all of them, e.g., move them all from box one to box two. Or twelve of the books in this box back onto the shelf in my office, and five from there into my car until I get home, then those five plus the three that are already in the car into my living room. Doesn't everybody?
..would like the option to sort the wish list by author rather than book title. Other than that works pretty well for my liking.
I buy alot of books used at library and what have you. This has saved me so many times from buying the same books!
When I scroll down I cant see the last book. It wont let me see it or view it from the scroll list.....
Love the app. I agree with a comment i saw, it needs an option for artist also.
What good is a book list if you can't even sort by author, genre,title.do I really have to do a search to check out every book as to whether I've read it before?
But could use a sinc ability for multiple devices.
Addition of book series information would be good as to know if what books your missing from a series without manually searching
I am liking this app I only wish I could connect it to my email so I can have the info on my phone and tablet and make sub catagories to list series of books together in the correct order
Very nice app and easy to add my library. Could use sub-categories for book series that all fall within a subgenre (e.g. Star Wars, Star Trek, Dragonlance, Dr Who, etc)
When you scan the barcode, app adds book title but not the author. Would rate higher if the author name was also added
Maybe this is a good app. I cannot find if this is true. The moment I tried to scan a barcode, this app asked me to download a third party bar scanning app. That seemed lame enough (whi isn't that included in this app?). And when I saw that that scanning app has 7-item list of permissions -- most of them having no relation to scanning (and thus potentially privacy intrusive), then, folks, you lost me! Sorry.
