Description of Bookshelf Scanner

Every bookshelf needs a little organization. Bookshelf Scanner allows you to quickly scan a book's barcode to add it to your virtual card catalog. You can add notes, scan custom barcodes to track that copy of the book, and take a photo of the book cover so it matches your exact version. Add borrowers to your library and now you can check books out to them - never lose track of a book again. Bookshelf Scanner works on iPhone and iPad, and with iCloud syncing, you can keep track of your library from whatever device you have handy. You can also export your library to a CSV file for any spreadsheet manipulation you'd like to do. Your information is stored in your iCloud account, so you are in control of it at all times. Bookshelf Scanner is ad-free and no information is sent to the maker of the app. Every teacher, librarian, and parent can leverage Bookshelf Scanner to better keep track of their personal or school book collection. Bookshelf Scanner offers Codabar barcode support for scanning traditional library barcodes on individual copies of your books. Scan the ISBN to look up a book's details, then scan the unique barcode, and you'll be able to quickly lend out books with the assurance of tracking who borrowed it. Bookshelf Scanner was designed with simplicity in mind while offering a library lending system that most teachers need.

If you have more than 10 books, this app is not for you. Definitely NOT for use in the classroom unless you want to upgrade to the 4.99 version.

Good, but has some issues

It’s fine when it actually scans your books the way it’s supposed to. But I’ve been having issues with the app not scanning the barcodes on my books correctly. Sometimes when I scan the barcode, it will come up as a completely different book. But then when I manually type in the ISBN, the correct book will come up. Another issue is that the app will not recognize ISBNs with letters in them at all. Some of my books have Xs at the end of the number, and the app does not recognize the book. And there’s no option to manually type those in because the keypad that you have to use doesn’t give you the option of using letters, only numbers. So then you basically have to create the book from scratch and put in all the information yourself. Half of my books have had to be input manually one way or another. The purpose of the app is to make it easier to digitally scan and keep track of your books, but this is not easier when I have to do so much of it manually.

Features not working

The ability to look up books is once again not working. I try to search for a book and the search feature crashes, forcing me to look through my whole library to find the books my students want to check out.

I am also unable to scan my library barcodes. This feature previously worked without any issues, but now it does not work at all. I am still able to scan the ISBN barcodes without any issues.

I am beginning to regret purchasing the full version of this app. I have over 600 books in my classroom library and I would hate to have find another app, one that actually works, and have to rescan my whole library, but I am considering it as these issues make this app cumbersome.
