Yes, it could have used some improvements but now they have destroyed it!!! ### 4/5 — It has some bugs but it’s still great *2024-11-24* It stresses me out sometimes but it is a great app and I am paying it again. My only thing at this moment is that they increased the price and I wish they improved the app more instead. ### 2/5 — Constant crash *2024-02-29* The concept is simple and good - when it works. I like being able to arrange the stacks however I want and placing items into multiple stacks. However, the app is constantly unavailable due to crashing. Often (more times than not) I can’t get past the first loading screen even after multiple attempts, which defeats the purpose of the app all together. I won’t be renewing. ### 4/5 — ok *2023-12-05, version 1.8.49* ok ### 4/5 — Great *2023-09-04, version 1.8.49* Love it, just wish it was all free ### 2/5 — Non funziona più *2023-08-30, version 1.8.49* Segnalo che l’applicazione ha smesso di funzionare . Si apre e si chiude immediatamente .. confido in aggiornamenti .. ### 4/5 — Great app, though import functionality doesn’t work *2023-05-03* I’ve really been enjoying this app. I recently got a new iPhone and though I was able to export my book data from my old phone, clicking the “Import” link in the app did nothing. I haven’t been able to export through the App Store option either. Please help! I would love to continue using this app ### 1/5 — Non si apre più *2022-04-02, version 1.8.49* Fino ad oggi aveva funzionato bene ma ora dopo che ho inserito circa 1300 libri ma ora la app crasha all’apertura. ### 2/5 — Zero Help *2022-03-02, version 1.8.49* I like the concept of this book organizer and have had it for quite some time, but if you run into a problem no one will assist you, no matter how you try to contact them. I paid for the life time usage, so am very disappointed that no one help with my problem. ### 4/5 — okay *2022-02-24, version 1.8.49* i think it’s realy nice and neat ### 1/5 — Crashes *2022-02-05* I initially liked this app. I was disappointed in the lack of database features; author visibility & search, etc. but still thought it was worth the annual price for the ‘full-featured’ version. A few troubles scanning ISBN with my iPad, but the iPhone handled it well. That was last week. Today, no matter which device I attempt, after 2 to 2.5 seconds the app shuts down. I would sure like to see someone fix it - 1. Make it operational (stay open, darn it), 2. Improve the database functionality. ### 1/5 — I need help. *2022-02-05* I need a way to contact the developer as I purchased this app, and it crashes every time now when I try to open it on either my phone or my iPad. I tried to contact you from this page (on the App Store) both through the App Support and the Developer Website links. Both told me to sign in to Facebook and when I did it told me that the content was not available. Are you even a company anymore? Will you continue to take my money each year and provide no content knowing that it is impossible to contact you? Please give me a way to contact you. ### 1/5 — App no longer works *2022-01-25* Suddenly today the app has stopped working. It either crashes nonstop or it shows a quota exceeded error. ### 1/5 — Tot perdut *2022-01-17, version 1.8.49* No puc importar la copia de seguretat! He perdut cents de llibres i moltes hores de feina. He escrit molt correus al mail de suport però ningú contesta ### 1/5 — Total Waste of Time *2022-01-06* I’m deleting this app as soon as I can. The app locked up after loading only 14 books, on the refresh screen that was trying to sell me the “fancy” version; that I didn’t want or need and had already turned down. The only way to get it to stop is by turning the phone completely off and then restarting it. If I could get a iOS version of Handy Library I would download it in a heartbeat. ### 3/5 — It’s Ok *2021-12-27* I just downloaded this app, it’s okay… the one thing I don’t understand is I attempted to add books to my “Own” list but when I searched them, they didn’t automatically go into the own section even though that’s where I started. Also, it may not have all books in the search. ### 1/5 — No Customer Support *2021-12-21* I purchased this app in 2018. I just purchased a new phone and I tried to log back into the app and it won’t let me. I have well over 1000 books logged and now that info is lost 😡. I have tried to contact the developer and have had no luck finding a reliable contact information. Update response to developers: What does your response Sun mean? I purchased this app so why is my data missin? Why do I not have access to the full app that I paid for? **Developer response:** ♥ ♥ ♥ ### 2/5 — Free version is worthless *2021-12-06* I don’t mind upgrading, but I physically cannot. All purchase options are grayed out. Also, based on the reviews, the free version doesn’t really allow for enough interaction to justify a purchase. I’m giving 2 stars out of sheer hope that my review is seen and I’m able to purchase and actually form an opinion of the app. So far, it looks like everything I’ve been looking for, so please fix 😭 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Не рекомендую *2025-02-16, version 2.5.7* Ограниченный функционал ### 1/5 — Does not respond. *2024-12-25, version 2.4.4* It freezes no matter how many times i refresh the app. Unable to use. ### 1/5 — Problème *2024-12-08* Les titres n’apparaissent plus !!! Je n’ai plus qu’une liste d’images de livres C’était il y a 3 jours, depuis le problème semblait avoir été résolu mais ça recommence !!!!!!!! Aujourd’hui 02/11/2024, j’y ai cru pendant un moment. Mais c’est reparti… Que puis-je faire ? 12/11 Ça recommence encore alors que j’étais entrain de compléter quelques titres…. Cela devient très gênant. 13/11 : c’est une histoire sans fin. Il faudrait régler ce problème une bonne fois ! 14/11 : cette application qui me plaisait beaucoup devient inutilisable alors que toute ma bibliothèque est enregistrée dedans. Nouvelle version : Je ne peux plus rien modifier, ni l’ordre de mes collections, ni celui des livres, ni la description des livres, ni leur emplacement. 23/11 : L’application ne se charge plus Je voudrais récupérer l’ancienne version pour pouvoir agir sur mes rangements !!!! 08/12 l’application ne sert plus à rien. **Developer response:** Please write to us at hello@librolibrary.com and we’ll help you resolve the issues right away. ### 1/5 — Terrible changes! *2024-11-26* This WAS a great app for organizing my library. Unfortunately they’ve made changes to it and now it’s just a list in random order. There’s no longer any ability to search my catalog or sort each stack, rendering it virtually useless. I’m so frustrated that I just canceled my annual subscription! Plus there’s no way that I have found to contact these people - so zero customer service. Don’t waste your money! **Developer response:** Sorry to hear that you’ve been affected by our recent changes. Our new search should be working now better than ever. We’re currently remodeling to try to make the features work even better than before as well as adding new features. You can always reach out to us at support+bookorganizer@librolibrary.com. ### 1/5 — Fraude *2024-06-26* Depois que paguei não consegui mais abrir! Quero meu dinheiro de volta! ### 1/5 — It was great until it wasn't... *2024-02-20, version 1.8.49* I got this app to help organize my books and I did the free trial and subscription for 9.99 a year. Except i keep getting so many ads and the data keeps getting lost. I've seen others mention the same thing. It's not the phones that are the issue it's the app. I have canceled my subscription and moving on to find better. ### 1/5 — I paid $40 for this and it won’t open *2023-07-18, version 1.8.49* I paid for the full version in 2018. I am unable to contact anyone and I’m unable to open my organizer. When I request hep I’m sent to Facebook. When I try to open the app it just shuts off! ### 1/5 — Não abre mais *2023-05-18* Decepcionada ### 1/5 — Very disappointed! *2023-01-16, version 1.8.49* The description that this is an app for book lovers is totally misleading. The free version only allows me to add about 12 books to a stack before it goes to the “please send us money” phase. I really wanted to get at least one bookcase done and play around with it before writing a review, but this leaves me cold. ☹️ ### 1/5 — I guess y’all paid then? *2022-04-14* Used once and was happy I finally found an app I really liked. Then tried to log in and add a book where you lie to my face and say it’s free to download and USE except for premium stuff but yet you won’t allow usage of the app unless I pay? Well I would have I won’t be now as like most people I don’t like being lied to. “always be free to use”? Ya right ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — So easy! *2023-06-10, version 1.8.49* And so pretty! ### 5/5 — Amazing! *2021-10-13, version 1.8.49* Very useful app ### 5/5 — good *2021-07-02, version 1.8.49* very good ### 5/5 — Wishlist *2021-01-03* I don’t use the wishlist feature, but it is a required line item at the top of the list. Now there are two Wishlist line items, the second which causes the app to crash if clicked. Can that glitch be fixed, and can the Wishlist be an optional feature that can be hidden in the settings? Thanks for a great app. **Developer response:** We're so glad to hear that the app is working out for you! We'll pass your request along to our tech team, we love hearing ideas and feedback so let us know if you come across anything else you'd like to tell us in the app. Thanks and happy holidays! ### 5/5 — Exactly what book hoarders need! *2020-08-18, version 1.8.46* I was looking for exactly this and I love it! Super simple, and $10 for the lifetime upgrade! Win! ### 5/5 — Great so far *2020-03-05, version 1.8.45* Love the look and feel of the app. Very useful ### 5/5 — A bit manipulative *2020-01-10, version 1.8.44* Only give it 5* so I can play with colours. Also atm, broken button. Can’t share link of a book I have in my collection. ### 5/5 — Good app to reference *2020-01-06* I'm using it to make sure I don't accidentally buy books I already have and to keep track of things I loan to friends. Way easier than the notes app, it's nice to use the scanner to log books ### 5/5 — Oh Yes!!!! Finally a Book App that does exactly what I need! *2019-09-11* Current review: Being a woman of a certain age I am in the process of downsizing my Books. I wanted to make a list of the books I gave away to my local Library and charities. I went in search and found this wonderful App!!! ( Upgrade is well worth it!) Love these features 1. The continuous scanner is wonderful. Yesterday I scanned 57 books in a relatively short period of time. 2. The stacks 3. The ability to have more than one Collection. 4 The ability to export data so I could print a hard copy if I wanted to. (That was my fear that I could lose data should phone crash) Kudos to developers who replied quickly to my previous review that follows: Just downloaded and like it a lot so far. I am thinking of upgrading but I need to be assured of a few things. I could not find a “ contact developer” any where in App or here to ask these questions. Hence I am writing a review. Please I just need a few questions answered how do I contact you? **Developer response:** Hello! We can be reached at support@librolibrary.com. There is also has a feedback button within the app. === update === ❤️ ### 5/5 — So far, so great! *2019-08-13* Today is my first day exploring this app. A friend made me aware of apps that help me organize my massive book collection so I never buy another copy of something again when I go out shopping! I did some searching, thought I had found a good one, but was disappointed at a few things. Did some more searching, and came across this app. A $10 yearly subscription is definitely worth it as far as I can tell! Still getting acquainted with how the app works, but being able to continuously add books via continuous ISBN scanning is FABULOUS! So much easier than some other apps. Can’t wait to see what other great things I can accomplish with my incredible book collection with this app! **Developer response:** ♥ ♥ ♥ Wow thank you for your kind words. Yes! Our scanner is unique in that it allows you to add books continuously! We designed it this way for those you who have lots of books.
