Great app!

Reliable, fast, versatile, well designed, and well supported.

Hate nagging pops

App is great. But I just bought it and I am asked repeatedly to rate it, to the point that it is preventing me from using it. So, for bugging me incessantly, it gets a 1.

Fabulous Book Buddy

I always use this app when I’m getting new books as I can check I don’t duplicate. Keep up with what I’ve lent out as well as what I’ve read or not. So useful as I do read a lot and it would be hard to keep track otherwise.

Several errors in listing

Just downloaded this yesterday and after entering 16 books, I’ve caught a few errors. The first was entering the book “Storm Warning” by Jack Higgins using both the bar code and the ISBN, it listed the author as Harry Patterson. Even though Harry Patterson is the real name of Jack Higgins, it wasn’t published under this name. It also listed the Genre as “sailing” when it’s actually a fictional WW 2 novel. The second error occurred when I scanned “The Wind Through the Kehole” by Stephen King. The photo of the cover brought up “Frankenstein” by Dean Koontz. It also previewed the same book. If you’re looking for accuracy, I’d suggest to proofread the entries.
