### 1/5 — No update for over 1 year?!?!

*2024-07-24*

Why haven’t you updated this app?  Are you no longer going to work on this app?  Should we move all of our catalogued items to another app?  Are we going to lose all of our items?

### 4/5 — Saves time and trouble

*2023-01-06, version 2.0.8*

A great help in entering my CD collection, saving a LOT of mousing and typing.

### 1/5 — Poor interface

*2022-07-04, version 2.0.7*

Scanned 20 comics as a trial. Only one was detected to be a comic (and the wrong title/issue), while the rest were read as dvds. Different issues of same title were detected as same issue. None synced to web database.

### 5/5 — Easy to use

*2022-02-08*

Helped greatly in entering my collection. Over 3,000 books, could not do it without Barry!

### 5/5 — Brilliant and easy

*2021-12-30*

I have been using this for YEARS in connecting with the Book Collectorz Software. Always a pleasure, quick and easy to use and understand, works like a dream.

### 5/5 — Simples e eficiente

*2021-07-17*

Um aplicativo simples mas eficiente. Meu uso não é exatamente para o que ele foi desenvolvido mas foi o app que resolveu meus problemas, leitor de código de barras.

### 5/5 — Fantastic scanner

*2021-06-26, version 2.0.7*

By far the best bar code scanner app that I have found.

### 5/5 — Found great one after many months

*2021-06-23*

Works Great 🤩

### 5/5 — Work as described!!

*2021-04-25, version 2.0.7*

Thanks for creating a great product!!

### 5/5 — Extremely user friendly and flexible

*2021-04-18, version 2.0.7*

I am a person who works with a lot of data and have done so for 34 years.  I am very picky about tools and find most to fall short in functionality.  The Book Collector software is not only very intuitive, it does everything I want it to do.  I have a huge book collection that is in need of downsizing.  I am using this tool to catalogue my collection and decide what I am going to send to Amazon to sell, what is going to used book stores, and what I am going to keep.  I cannot thank the publishers enough for making this process painless and helping me to organize my clutter and my life!!
