User reviews

Close but…

I’ll make this simple: Booxter is a great desktop database program but does a lousy job of sharing with my iPhone and iPad. Sharing simply does not work, so if you need this feature, you will need to look elsewhere.

Waste

I got this app to carry my library from Booxter on my Mac. I bought the desktop version for just that purpose. It was a $30 app - very expensive for an app, but I thought it would be worth it to have my libraries sync and have my complete library with me on-the-go. It does not work, so it was a complete waste of money. There should be refunds available for dissatisfied customers when the vast majority of reviews are so bad.

Update:: still a 1-star review, as the iOS version only shares with the Mac version. There is not a stand-alone app for iOS.

Glitchy

When it works it’s great. Importing libraries to iOS is next to impossible as it will not overwrite previously imported libraries even if you’ve deleted them from the app first. Sometimes it does but I haven’t figured out why or when it will grace me with an up-to-date copy on my iOS device.

The macOS Catalina version crashes with each save of the library, so consistently I save when I want to exit the program. Communication with the iOS scanner is glitchy - sometimes it connects, sometime not. A restart of both usually fixes that.

All in all, if I could get a refund I would.

No drag and drop

The drag and drop feature for web browsers (i.e. for Amazon purchases) doesn’t work at all in the latest release. Reduces utility to near zero.

Great for scanning barcodes on books/CDs/DVDs

If you have Booxter on your Mac, you can easily use this app as a mobile scanner for books, CDs or DVDs in your collection.

Thanks for updating it so it works on iOS 11!
