### 1/5 — BS

*2026-02-01*

It’s not wirking

### 2/5 — Scanner does not work for me

*2025-01-13*

The app correctly recognized only one of the first four ISBN bar codes I tried.

### 1/5 — No Scan Capability

*2023-11-10*

Tried to scan a barcode from a book fresh from the book store.  Nothing.  Sent this app packing.

### 2/5 — Export

*2023-08-06*

Where is the feature to allow you to print or download your database?

### 1/5 — Vanishing covers

*2022-09-14*

I was excited to see the disappearing cover bug was fixed, that is until I scanned several books today and now the previous covers are gone.  Soooo, the bug is not fixed.

### 4/5 — Nice and simple

*2022-06-13*

This is a plain, nice and smooth little app. ISBN scanning works well. But is there a way to share the library? Like to export it? Also, it would be helpful if it would link entries made with the iPhone, so they show up in the iPad app as well.

### 1/5 — I really love this until

*2021-12-23*

When I first started using this app I loved it so much it helps me keep track of books so I don’t buy it again by accident but for some reason the covers of the books disappear and you can’t really tell unless you really remember the name wish they would fix that problem really liked it

**Developer response:** Hi Rebecca, Many apologies for the problem you've encountered with book covers in the app. I have resolved this issue now and a new version is available on the App Store.

### 1/5 — Covers

*2021-07-28*

Lost all of my covers both automatic and manual.

**Developer response:** Hi California Hockey Fan, so sorry about this issue. The book covers bug has now been resolved in the app and is available in the App Store. Please let me know at support@interactivecoconut.com if you have any further issues.

### 2/5 — Bookcase

*2020-09-30*

They won’t even let you send a negative report.
This could be a brilliant programme except after you close the programme you lose all your book cover pictures.

**Developer response:** Hi Janterr, many apologies for this issue with book covers. This issue has now been fixed, the app has now been updated and it is available in the App Store. Please let me know at support@interactivecoconut.com if you have any further issues.

### 1/5 — So much potential

*2019-03-30*

This was the 5th book inventory app I download, the only one that actually came back with ‘some’ book data, but only identified 2 of 6 books.   Needs to have a one tap to scan/add button as well
