Great
Overall great app.
I wanted to catalogue my home library and found a great app that does exactly that! The scanner is a dream.
Couple of suggestions for updates :
1. Flash light option when scanning (would be great for darker rooms);
2. Alphabet tracker on the side to more easily get around the list.

Why the change?
I used to love this app and recommended it to a number of people. However since the update in June 2019 all the brilliant features like creating groups, the ability to move books from one part of the library to the other, tagging books and adding notes have now become part of the pro feature. Why? It looks as if I am going to have to find a replacement app. Very disappointed indeed.

Terrible update
Latest update broke the app 🙁
Disappointing update
Up until yesterday, i would have strongly recommended this app. It was very easy to use, it was versatile and it had a very large database of titles it could pull from.
However, this new update removes or hides the status and rating for each book i have. I need to log into the website to be able to update this data now. I was previously able to update this data when offline or out of Internet/data range but i cant do that anymore.
Hopefully they will correct this and i can revise my rating. From very useful to virtually useless in one update. App owner, please make the correction.

Easy with excellent customer service
I’ve recently started to use this app to catalog my library. I really appreciate how quickly and efficiently I’m able to do this. Even with some of my older books that do not have a barcode on the back, I’m still able to easily enter the information manually. Not to mention, 5000 is quite a large number for us to be able to use it for free. A lot of other apps I’ve found has severely limited me. What really sold me on this app is their customer service. I had a question about using it and whenever I click on the “contact” button, it allowed me to send an email to somebody who sent me an email within an hour of receiving my request. After he answered my questions throughout the day, he took my suggestions as to how to make the app better. I would like to see a little bit of improvement on the next update about user interface and having the app portray the same visual as far as alphabetizing and groups that that web browser had, but the customer service and willingness to receive my suggestions over email makes me put them at five stars regardless. He said he would consider what I had said as a builder new update.

Best Book App Ever!!!
This app is seriously the best book app ever! I literally downloaded every single app in the App Store for organizing books but this was the only one I liked! The only thing that I would ask is if you could allow users to add their own pictures of books through the app? I saw that that feature is available on a desktop but it would be a lot easier to be able to upload it via a mobile device! Thank you for this amazing app!

They don’t respond to emails
I purchased the Libib pro account to use as a hub for my company’s development library and I think that it’s a really good platform. The one issue that my employees have been having is that we’ve had a couple of questions come up with setup, user functionality, or certain features not working the way that they are supposed to. At that time we’ve sent emails, regarding each of the above issues, to the company and have never received a response on any of them. These emails date back to the beginning of January with follow up emails having been sent. I don’t understand how you can charge someone on a monthly basis, but not provide adequate customer service. It’s honestly very unprofessional. There is no point in having a “HELP” section, if you don’t actually “HELP” when people request it.

Perfect! Exactly what I was looking for!
This app is golden. You can create your own personal media library. Not only can you scan your products for faster data entry, but they don’t charge you after like 10 scans like their similar app competitors do. In addition, you can add tags to each movie (like Disney, Kids, Romance, etc.) which is exactly what I was looking for in a library app so I can easily search for a movie type within a universal movie list. This is the first app I have come across to do this and to do it for free. I highly recommend! I hope they continue to add more features! Like showing a picture in the list. I will be using this for life!

Highly recommended for personal collections
I had been wanting to catalog my growing book and record collection for quite a while. This year it was one of my New Years resolutions to finally get it done. Like most people, I started my project with a quick google and found Libib. I went with the free plan as my collection is not yet over 5,000 items and I wasn’t sure how long it would remain my highest priority. I downloaded the app and quickly realized it was much easier than I had thought. To add books you just scan (by it taking a photo) of the barcode on the back of the book. Instantly it will show a photo and the title of the book. I have a lot of antique books as well and those can be added manually by typing the Title, ISBN, Author, etc.
It would be nice if it had the ability to add a photo to the titles added manually, and also to utilize the check out system on the free platform, maybe with a limited number of items checked out at one time? I love to share books with friends, but it’s hard to remember who borrowed what.
TLDR; really easy to use. Would recommend to a friend.

Handy
This app is convenient to have. We are just building our home library. The app allows me to have a listing on my phone to avoid duplicate titles especially when I am collecting a series. I have learned to not forget to sync as I have across multiple devices. It is easy to use. I checked out other apps and this on free allow 5000 titles before having to upgrade. I gave it a 4 because I have to manually enter a lot of my titles
