Useless

Frustrating that you are advertising this app on your website and it doesn’t work. I continually receive an error stating to check internet connection. Hopefully this will be fixed soon.

Error Refreshing Library

Where’s the 0 stars. This error has exisisted for quite some time. Y’all got my hopes up for nothing.

Simply doesn’t work

Constantly getting an error saying there’s no internet, despite there being so. Tried on both WiFi and mobile, just doesn’t work

Does nothing

Can’t download lib.
Always errors no matter what Wi-Fi you are on.

Complains about Internet connection

Complains about Internet connection when any other app I launch works just fine. So, useless to me at this point.

Can’t sync library

After logging in I only get a message to check my internet connection. I’ve tried reinstalling and restarting my iPad but nothing works

It’s good, but

Needs a way to remember where you were in a book.

Won’t synch

No matter what I do I get an “error refreshing library.” Haven’t been able to do anything with the app.

Useful but somewhat limited and buggy

This is a great way to see my DTRPG purchases. However, the app has some shortcomings:

Files are organised by publisher on your selected save location. This is not useful when a publisher may publish different game systems or several publishers produce content for the same system. It would be preferable to organise by game title, perhaps with sub-folders for each publisher.

The interface is not re-sizeable for larger screens.

Navigation is poor; after finishing a task, you are taken back to the start of the list. When you have getting on for 1000 titles, it’s a pain to navigate back to where you were working.

Selecting multiple titles and making changes doesn’t automatically de-select them when you’ve finished. This is a pain when you are assigning collections; the previously selected titles are added to a new collection inappropriately.

Collections are buggy: I’ve experienced collections duplicating in the app. This may be because I was working across multiple devices. Deleting a duplicated collection on one device appears to delete all instances of the collection.

Collections need to be more visible in the main interface. Even if you don’t display all collection a title is contained in, at the very least display the number of collections against a title. This makes identifying uncollected titles easier. Also have a filter for uncollected titles in the collections menu - the options seem to be all or by collection.

Ideally, collections should be visible and managable from the web interface as well as the app; this makes filtering your collection easier.

Apart from this, it’s useful to manage updated files rather than logging into the web interface.

Very handy

Is a great little app to collect all your drivethrurpg purchases. The only thing I would ask to add would be a bookmarking system. Every time I select a book I am sent back to the first page and have to scroll through sometimes a few hundred pages to get back to where I left off last session, if I can remember that is.
