Could be so much better

This app is really good when it comes to checking in and out books and keeping track of your library but it would be much nicer if I could go to my library and click on a title to see which student checked that particular title out and when. For example, I have a stack of books on my desk and now I have to go through each student to see who checked out instead of going directly to that book to see who had it. It would be even cooler if I could scan the book and see who had it checked out and I could check it back in that way.

This won’t let me log in with the password it
required. A waste of $5.99.

No updates lately

There’s hasn’t been app updates in 2 years. It’s a great app, but it needs to definitely be updated

No Customer Support

I purchased this app to organize my classroom library checkout and to inventory all of my books. I paid for the app, and I also spent $40 for their barcodes for my ton of older books that didn’t have barcodes or had shared barcodes. I used my phone to scan everything in over the summer. I tried to set everything up on my classroom iPad so that my students could use it to check out books. I can’t get my books to show up on the iPad. I have contacted the company multiple times for assistance, and they have NEVER replied. It is a waste. I can’t even use the program even after the hours I spent scanning in my library and the money that I spent. Very disappointed!
