### 1/5 — No deleting option?

*2022-04-09*

Seriously, there is no deleting, if a book was quickly scanned and therefore added twice…? I edited such a book to a different one, but the picture is still the same because you can’t change the photo either… :(

### 1/5 — Useless

*2018-06-10*

Everything needs to be entered manually, Just a glorified spreadsheet.

### 5/5 — Good organizing tool

*2018-03-04*
