### 2/5 — Abandoned in place

*2024-02-24*

Like its companion desktop app, Delicious Library hasn’t been updated for a long time. In modern versions of iOS, it crashes a lot. Somewhat useful when it works.

### 5/5 — Truly.

*2023-11-07*

Truly Delicious!  I started using DL when it first came and it continues to amaze me. Invaluable in keeping me organized and updated.

### 1/5 — is this abandonware?why still charging?

*2023-06-01*

whats up with the developer? I came here from the website and all i see are these terrible reviews, I need a solution that works now and apparently support doesn't answer either so imma skip this for now and NOT BUY THE MAC SOFT BASED ON APP STORE REVIEWS

### 2/5 — frequently drops library additions

*2023-03-31*

Books will apparently scan into the library — showing an “added” status in the app and appearing in the library list— and then later just disappear.    For example, I scanned 10 books and it only got 6 of them permanently added.  I had to rescan 3 of them once and one of them twice.  Seems to be an issue only with the scanner.  Books added by searching in the desktop application have not been dropped.

### 5/5 — Still working fine - iOS15

*2022-06-21, version 2.0.1*

Scans very quickly and accurately. No miss-fires yet. The app may gave an uncertain future now but still works perfectly. I can scan a book bar-code and it is instantly added to Delicious Library on my Mac. It can also save scanned codes to the Notes app instead to use later if not at home etc. Very useful and time-saving.

### 1/5 — Abandonware

*2022-01-29, version 2.0.1*

This was a good app, but is no longer supported. I bought two licences for Delicious Library that no longer work, so this is a waste of time and space and money.

### 1/5 — Not working

*2021-07-14, version 2.0.1*

Crashes as soon as one tries to pair with the desktop app. No response from developer.

### 1/5 — Does not work

*2021-02-18, version 2.0.1*

I scan an item, then tap the share icon in the upper right and the app crashes - this includes scanning the bar code on the desktop app to pair!

### 1/5 — instant crash on paring

*2020-09-28, version 2.0.1*

seems virtually like abandonware

### 1/5 — Totally Useless

*2020-09-08, version 2.0.1*

I easily scanned in half a dozen books, with apparent complete success - until I went to pair my phone with the desktop app.

The pairing appeared to go fine, but nothing actually imported.

All the scans were there - but not a single one actually showed the book in question or any of its data, only the barcode number. Neither the “Refresh Details from Internet” nor the “Revert All Details from Internet” selections under the Amazon Link menu did anything.

The books did all show up correctly online when I selected “View Book on Amazon” (or the other two options in that section), but the data still didn’t populate the app. 

In *every single case,* I received a boxed error message that read “Line 1: Space required after the Public Identifier.  Line 1: SystemLiteral “ or ‘ expected.  Line 1: SYSTEM or PUBLIC, the URI is missing.”

It appears that the app is expecting a space or some other character following the barcode, which apparently isn’t there, and clearly the scanner isn’t adding it in.

I unpaired and repaired the two devices several times, rescanned all of the barcodes (including the pairing one) several times, and got the same error every time.

I last used the Delicious app a number of years ago and forgot about it until today, but however I got the entries I made then into the app, I am absolutely certain I did not have to manually enter anything the way this scanner app is obviously requiring that I do, which clearly renders it completely useless. 

I updated it, so I’m running the current version on Catalina 10.15.3, and iOS 12.4.6 on an iPhone 6 Plus.

I’m really disappointed because I really like that the basic app allows connecting directly to Amazon Seller Central, which *ought* to mean I could easily list the items I want to sell, but obviously the data has to get into the app in the first place for that to work.

Uh, hello, Delicious Monster? What is going on? Why is your scanner not working? These are all brand new books with current barcodes, so it’s not like it’s not picking up an old format.

Hint: There is NO WAY I am going to spend $40 on your main app if I can’t even easily scan my items into it.
