Please uninstall the app completely and then download it again from the App Store. After that, log in with your existing account and your collection will be automatically restored from the cloud. Let me know if it doesn't work. ### 3/5 — Deleted it *2025-01-28, version 1.3.3* Looks good, but it required too much data linked to me. Found an app that has only a couple requirements. ### 2/5 — Potentially a great asset *2025-01-14* The app does what promises very well with one exception. The underlying database is totally inadequate. I tried to enter around 20 books by their ISBN barcode but only three were recognised. With an adequate database, it would be an easy 5 stars. **Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback! The ISBN search relies on external databases, so some books might not appear. I’m always looking to improve this—I'll see if I can expand the sources. Appreciate your support! ### 3/5 — Bug *2024-12-27* Very good app but cannot purchase becouse of crash **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback! I am sorry for any issues you experienced and I am happy to share that the issue has now been resolved. You can try using the app again without any problems now. Since the special offer has ended, please reach out to our support- they’ll be happy to assist you in accessing it regardless. Thanks for your patience! ### 1/5 — Keine Vorabinformation über Umfang, erst nach Download *2023-08-31* Verständlich, dass nicht jede App kostenfrei sein kann, aber 3 Bücher in der kostenlosen Version ist schon heftig! Da gibt es bessere und günstige Anbieter! **Developer response:** Viele Dank für die Bewertung. Wir bieten drei kostenlose Bücher an, um einen Vorgeschmack auf unsere App zu geben. Die Premiumversion eröffnet die Möglichkeit, beliebig viele Bücher hinzuzufügen. Wir bemühen uns ständig, unseren Service zu verbessern. Danke für Dein Feedback. ### 2/5 — Better Apps Out There *2023-05-02* I have been looking for the best book tracking app. I found this as the least helpful as far as ease to use. I would like an app that allows you to add extra information. I read books and also listen to audiobooks so would like to add info like narrators and listening time. This app seems to emphasize selling more than organizing the information. **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. I apologize for any inconvenience caused. I understand that you're looking for a book tracking app that allows you to add extra information, such as narrators and listening time for audiobooks. I appreciate your suggestions and will consider them for future updates. If you have any other specific requirements or preferences, please let me know. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Only good if you read books from shops *2026-02-12* Could not upload any special addition. **Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback, and sorry you ran into this issue. Uploading special editions should normally work, so this definitely sounds like something isn’t behaving as expected. If you can, please reach out to me with a bit more detail on what happened so I can take a closer look and fix it. I appreciate you pointing this out - it helps me improve the app. ### 1/5 — Funktioniert nicht mehr, Abo umsonst bezahlt? *2025-07-26* Ich habe eine Abo abgeschlossen aber kann seit einigen Tagen die App nicht mehr öffnen. Daher kann ich auch kein Ticket erstellen.. sehr traurig. Kann mir hier jemand helfen? **Developer response:** Hallo, entschuldige die Umstände. Bitte deinstalliere die App einmal komplett und lade sie dann frisch aus dem App Store herunter. Melde dich danach mit deinem bestehenden Account an, dann wird deine Sammlung automatisch aus der Cloud wiederhergestellt. Gib mir gerne Bescheid, falls es nicht klappt. ### 1/5 — App no longer works *2025-07-24* I have had this app for a couple years. I tried to get into it the other day and nothing. It won’t open at all. I’ve lost everything **Developer response:** Hello, Sorry for the inconvenience. Please uninstall the app completely and then download it again from the App Store. After that, log in with your existing account and your collection will be automatically restored from the cloud. Let me know if it doesn't work. ### 1/5 — Useless *2025-01-14* Purchased premium (for free) twice, but the app doesn’t seem to remember that for even a second. And the promised ISBN scanner is nowhere to be found. **Developer response:** Sorry about that! It sounds like there’s an issue with restoring your premium access. Please contact the support for this issue. The ISBN scanner can be used when you open a shelf and try to add a book —let me know if you still can’t find it. I appreciate your feedback. ### 1/5 — hard to use, even with manually adding a book *2025-01-13* I can locate the book with the ISBN on Google but this app couldn’t find it. Fine, I can just manually add it. But it turns out I can’t change the book cover. I uploaded the cover but had no way to save it. A buggy app. Not worthy of your time. **Developer response:** Sorry to hear about your experience! The ISBN search depends on external databases, so some books might not appear. As for the cover issue, that shouldn’t happen—I’ll look into it. I appreciate your feedback and will work on improving the app! ### 1/5 — Unusable *2024-12-27* Crashes **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback!

Thanks for your patience! ### 1/5 — Buggy and not worth it *2024-07-19* The worst $15.99 I’ve ever spent. This app constantly tells me I need to buy it again, then says “Oh you bought this, here you go!” Then “authentication failed” and round and round we go. There are tons of better trackers. Get StoryGraph. **Developer response:** I’m really sorry you’re having these issues! That definitely shouldn’t be happening. Please reach out to me via support so I can fix this problem for you. Thank you for your feedback! ### 1/5 — Capacité limitée *2024-06-14, version 1.2.8* Ne peut avoir que 50 livres dans la bibliothèque. Il faut payer pour en ajouter à l’infini. Qui ayant besoin d’une application pour stocker ses livres n’a que 50 livres? Come on ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Very good book tracker but… *2025-09-02* I really love using this app for tracking what I’ve read. Being able to scan an ISBN is so helpful and I can’t understand why every book app doesn’t offer this. It’s the reason I recommend this app to my customers at the bookstore. Unfortunately I can’t get the app to open to add more books. I also wish there was a way to track rereads. (If there is one I can’t find it.) Hoping to be able to open the app soon! UPDATE- thank you for reaching out to fix the problem! It’s really appreciated! I’m happy to go back and update the past couple months of books! **Developer response:** Hello, Sorry for the inconvenience. Please uninstall the app completely and then download it again from the App Store. After that, log in with your existing account and your collection will be automatically restored from the cloud. Let me know if it doesn't work. ### 5/5 — Looks interesting *2025-01-16, version 1.3.2* Update Jan 16: Doesn’t work for me with import. Tried both pdf & csv files but just may be my Files. I have a large Library previously added to another Library app mostly manually because of old books . Have tried to import into this app tried both pdf & csv & I get ‘invalid characters’ so I don’t know what exactly you can import? I’m not going to enter my Library into this app manually again but I’ll give it 5* just for appearance at this point. ### 5/5 — Everything you could want in a book app *2025-01-13* This has it all - library inventory, book lookup by title/ISBN/camera bar code scan, and pages read. It even has a section for loaning out books with due date/reminder. **Developer response:** Thanks for your kind words! I’m glad you’re enjoying the features. If you ever have suggestions for improvements, feel free to share. Happy reading! ### 5/5 — Toll!! *2023-08-30* Einen Tag nachdem ich 247 Bücher hochgeladen und mit Labeln versehen habe (!!) ist die Bücherliste verschwunden. Und womit ich niemals gerechnet habe: Ich habe angerufen, den Entwickler am Telefon gehabt, nette Unterstützung und das Problem wurde behoben. So begeistert von Freundlichkeit, Geduld und Hilfsbereitschaft!!!! **Developer response:** Hallo, vielen Dank für die Bewertung. Es tut mir Leid zu hören, dass Sie Probleme mit der App haben. Bitte erstellen Sie innerhalb der App ein Support Ticket mit einer kurzen Beschreibung. Dann kann ich mir die Sache einmal anschauen. Ihre Bücherliste lässt sich bestimmt wieder finden! ### 4/5 — 闪退 *2024-12-27* 限免无法购买，直接闪退 **Developer response:** 感谢您的反馈！对于您遇到的任何问题，我深表歉意，很高兴地告诉您，问题已经解决。现在您可以再次尝试使用该应用程序，没有任何问题。由于特价优惠已经结束，请与我们的支持人员联系，他们将竭诚为您提供帮助。感谢您的耐心等待！ ### 3/5 — Bien *2025-08-07, version 1.3.6* J’aimais cette application, mais depuis quelque temps je suis incapable d’y avoir accès. L’appli charge, mais rien ne se passe… J’espère qu’une simple mise à jour permettra de rétablir le tout et d’accéder à Ma bibliothèque avant la rentrée scolaire. J’aimais le scanner, les étiquettes et outils de recherche. ### 3/5 — Cool but…. *2025-08-06* This app is great but it stopped opening a few days ago. I can’t update or add more books… send help…. **Developer response:** Hello, Sorry for the inconvenience. Please uninstall the app completely and then download it again from the App Store. After that, log in with your existing account and your collection will be automatically restored from the cloud. Let me know if it doesn't work. ### 3/5 — App won’t open anymore *2025-08-03, version 1.3.6* I’ve enjoyed the paying app until recently. It won’t load anymore. Just keeps spinning on both my phone and iPad. ### 3/5 — Very good book tracker but… *2025-07-27* I really love using this app for tracking what I’ve read.

I can’t use it if it won’t open. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
