Good, for the most part
I really do like this app. It’s a really handy way to keep track of your collection of media in an easy-to-find manner. I can also leave notes on certain items that let me know who is borrowing what. The ability to scan items instantly into my inventory saves a ton of time.
Some suggestions would be the ability to upload a picture to books that are entered manually, or so old they don’t have an ISBN and can’t be found in the database. Another thing that’s really annoying is whenever I change the content of something, after I do so, it scrolls all the way back up to the top of the list, making it so I have to scroll alllll the way down and find where I left off.

Excellent Resource
Libib is an excellent resource for managing books, music, etc. that works well as an app and website. I use it daily and happy to be a pro subscriber for the reasonable price of $5 per month; however the free version is powerful too. The ability to add books using its barcode scanner is a real time saver. Also, the ability to export your catalog as a csv file is handy too.

V Impressive App
As a relatively small, specialist library with books and papers in a variety of languages, we looked at a number of possible solutions including the open source Koha offer (great, feature rich but v complex requiring serious server-side tech knowledge and v detailed set-up). Libib gave us all we were looking for in borrowing functionality and data recording with good design and easy hand-held device accessibility. Really helpful support too. V impressed so-far...

Almost perfect
Almost everything about this app is perfect. The one thing it is missing is the ability to add a price (which you can do on the website)
Contrast
My eyesight is not perfect. More text contrast please.
Scans great
Helped me scan my collection of 60 books in like 5 minutes or less, which was nice
My only problems are once it’s scanned, things could look a little nicer (functionality wise it’s great)
Here are my ideas:
- a setting (OPTION) to make a library default (I only use this for my home library so it’s kinda pointless for me to choose which library everytime)
- inside of a library, instead of only a list option have an option to display it with the covers showing, like in iBooks
-a ‘choose me a book from X category’ might be cool
- more color schemes?
-upload images for covers of books that didn’t scan (I buy used books, and sometimes the barcode has stickers over it and won’t scan)
Thanks, and great app!!! It really does its core job well, which is what matters the most, so I give it 5 stars

So far so good
So far, it’s a pretty good app. There are a few things that could improve it though. Firstly, being able to view titles with cover images as well as a list would be helpful. Secondly, being able to add an image of a book cover when auto-search doesn’t find on when it recognises a book. Thirdly, expanding that app/website to be able to organise a library lending system would be great for our community hall library. So rather than just catalogue which books we have, it would be great if we were able to you Libib to record which books are being loaned/borrowed and by whom (adding the name/ dates), and so to keep track of where the books are when being loaned out !!! A decent app otherwise, so far!!!

Great design and functionality
Love everything about this app. The UI is clean, well-designed and easily navigable. The app has all the features I could want or need. The first thing I do when purchasing new books is scan them into my home library. From there, I can track what I've read and when as well as which books I've abandoned. It's great for keeping tabs on an ever-growing library. Couldn't stay organized without it!

Potential to be great
A few things need serious change. Search categories, or even just the ability to jump to a certain letter without scrolling through the whole thing, are necessary. Image view as opposed to list view option would be good also.
As for the social, this has big potential if much improved. Allow friends to view one another's collections more simply, and to search our collective libraries (for example, I want to be able to search within mine and my friends' collections to see if one of us has something - with a single search). Also, why can I not view friend's collection in the app (takes to web)? A few updates could make this a really good app.

Amazing app
This app is truly amazing. It does more than some of the other "free" apps out there, except without charging you if you want to add more than a certain number of books - it's absolutely free! I would highly recommend it.
