There was a glitch when I tried to add pictures of the cover of the book with this app, which never got fixed. I overlooked this, because it was something I could live without anyway. Now it never loads. It shows all the features while "loading...", but none of the information, like issued or overdue books, or search results. So I will uninstall the app because now it's useless. Please notify me if this ever gets fixed! Thanks!

The website is pretty good, but the app is horrible. It does not work well at all. I can get it to scan, but not much else from there. It heard that it's better for iphones. It should easily accessible for all smartphones with a quick method. Still the student's should be able to get on without having to give an email. Very roundabout.

It's a good app for keeping tabs on your personal Library, but the barcode scanning feature isn't always accurate. I scanned an old edition of The Wiccan Bardo by Paul V. Beyerl, and the app recognized it as Paediatric Oncology 2ed: Clinical Practice and Controversies by P.N. Plowman. There should be a way of searching titles and authors, not the ISBN alone.

I was so excited about the features in this program, but members cannot check out titles using the app. As the administrator, I cannot use app to check in or out. I must use computer/website which can't scan barcodes. All features need to be available on app for this to work. So glad I only wasted 1 day setting up, adding 4 books and 1 student member. I would have been devastated adding the whole library and student body to find out mobile apps don't work for non staff members!

This app would be great if check in and out worked with isbn numbers or the option to pick your checkout method. If isbn is a problem because of multiple copies, let us pick the copy to checkout. Without it being able to quick scan out, it makes the library essential useless.

We have been using this app for our community library. This is a great free app. After a lot of research I have selected this app. I don't see any free apps that can come even closer to this app. I would strongly recommend this. A small request to makers of this app is about a small feature : on check out and check in pages, pop up with actual book title and member name before a transaction is confirmed would be very useful. If you are interested, i can give more inputs to improve this app

The app does not allow members to check out books or access libraries, only admins are given those privileges. Also, even when logged in as a library staff member, the barcode scanning feature just doesn't work. This defeats the whole purpose of the service the app is supposed to provide. It appears the Apple App Store version works just fine, so I don't understand why the android version is so poorly optimized

I love the website and the value that it offers to small libraries (like the one I work at currently) but the app is practically useless to Android users. I can't even upload pictures of new books through the app on android!

Having issues where the library won't display via the app, but accessing as a website works fine. Not sure how to fix this - please help

Noo. A. Oct 9, 2018     

I want the aap to have option of manually adding books and editing book information through the app... So all users can have a handy app to edit the stuff for which we always need a pc... Really waniting toward that update

Hap. G. Oct 23, 2018     

Pretty good app but needs to be able to either scan a barcode for library members or have a quick look up for member to be able to check out a book.

Pho. W. Jun 14, 2019     

Can't add pictures of manually uploaded books using the google app, it zooms right in when I go to take a picture and wont let me upload a picture of the whole cover

Gil. t. G. Oct 12, 2021     

Limited functionality inside the app. It's recommended to use the Web version, unless when adding books using the camera

Bas. D. Sep 24, 2019     

The barcode scanning for member number in mobile apps to be made available to make the app more user friendly. Otherwise the librarika app is found meeting the library management requirements at our community school. Hope the developers take note of it and add the requested feature in the next release.

Can't check in or out with ibsn number through app.

Its a great app

Best for personal and professional library

Member management is atrocious. Member gets an invite link. Member goes straight to the library. Member closes the window. He is still not registered so he can't use the app or access the library again without the link from the email. The member is, as far as the system concerned is not registered. On another note, the librarian can't set maximum borrowing time. It's automatically set and cannot be changed. In short, there are better systems out there.

Cam. W. Mar 8, 2018     

Worst app ever. Very rarely loads, regularly fails to save despite stating it has, have to remember huge amounts of detail to check out. Whoever designed it doesn't actually understand what it is meant to do

Joh. S. May 13, 2018     

This is a joke. The app is complicated, no easy way to do things (like checkin based on title!) and when u find out how to do something it crashes, repeatedly

Raf. P. Oct 25, 2017     

Members don't have access to the library. I like the idea and the system on the web but the app is not very good. Hope you will improve it.

Sol. R. B. Nov 15, 2017     

This app works great. I love the bar scanner, and the quick checkout option. But, I can't seem to find a way to delete an entry. Other than that, works great!

A. G. u. Aug 25, 2017
