### 1/5 — Search Function

*2026-07-23, version 2.1.2*

I just can’t get the search function to work. I have to manually input each book which makes no sense. This is not a great app but I keep using it because all my books are here. But I think it’s time to bite the bullet and move on.

### 1/5 — App stopped syncing, No support

*2026-03-09, version 2.1.2*

I have used this app for over 10 years and have paid the premium subscription every year. For more than 6 months the app has stopped syncing and I have tried multiple times to contact the developer with no response. So please think twice before paying for a premium subscription

### 2/5 — No app support

*2026-02-11, version 2.1.2*

Has always been simply terrific but now locked up with no access to data. Support Email only works for resetting pw but was returned as nonexistent email addy when I sent an email saying app was locked up. Had to reset my phone and now reloading apps but this app is stuck on a synchronization screen (for a couple days now).  Deleted app and tried again - nada. Nothing available on FB page for support as suggested and do not see another way to reach them. Last info is from several years ago. Disappointing to lose years of reading history and notes. Update: Thankfully I decided to try the former version to capture my data which worked but older app is discombobulated and newer HD app version still says synching and is locked up. So grateful all was not lost and I am able to access years worth of reading. Older app version does not show same stats (ie:annual reading etc) so would like to download info to store in case this happens again. Following instructions for creating cvs file but the link shown goes to blank page. Have subscription so hoping developer will get in touch or respond so it will work.

### 2/5 — No app support

Email only works for resetting pw but was returned as nonexistent email addy when I sent an email saying app was locked up. Had to reset my phone and now reloading apps but this app is stuck on a synchronization screen. Nothing available on FB page for support as suggested and do not see another way to reach them. Disappointing to lose years of reading history and notes.

### 1/5 — Can’t access my account

*2025-08-23, version 2.1.2*

I can’t access my account because my email address changed. I can’t get any help to change it from anyone including Apple

### 1/5 — No support

*2024-02-04, version 2.1.2*

I don’t think this app is supported anymore. It’s a different app for the phone than for the iPad. By paying a fee, the apps will sync, so at least the lists are the same. However, there is no bar code scan in the phone app. And when one wants to add a photo for a book because there is non available online, both apps crash. Just doesn’t work. So I guess I am paying Wonjae Choi $2.99 a year for something old and no longer stable. I would like to find a new app, but it’s daunting to think I have 1000+ books on this app!

### 1/5 — Stuck at verification

*2023-12-18, version 2.1.2*

I have not even been able to create an account it ask for an email for verification, then states that it has been sent but I never get an email verification.

### 1/5 — No support

*2021-01-11, version 2.1.1*

I have been using this app for years. It was one of the first I got for my iPhone. I loved it. Then I got it for my iPad and paid to be able to sync between the two. I could never get it to work. I was able to send an email with my problem and got a quick response, but I still could  not get it to work, so I gave up. All of a sudden in December 2020, the app on my iPhone wouldn’t open. When I touch the app, it opens and immediately closes. I tried making sure I had all the Apple updates done. Still doesn’t work. I decided to see if I could get the app to work on my iPad. And it did! And I was able to get it to sync and load all my data. So I deleted the app on my phone, then redownloaded it. Still doesn’t work. So I tried downloading the older app (not the HD). I was able to log in but when it tries to sync, it reaches 47% and never gets any farther. I found a support email and sent my problem to the developer. That was weeks ago. No response. It’s a great app. But I want it on both my iPhone and my iPad. I am paying for that subscription. So where is the support?

### 1/5 — Cannot use it

*2021-01-10*

I paid for 4.95dollars. However, I never use it.
Because that is now working.
Only I can see ‘preparing data’.
I would like to get a refund.

### 3/5 — Cash problem

*2020-09-29, version 2.1*

With the latest update to IOS 14, the app on my iPad will open but is unresponsive.  
I love this app and use it a lot.  Please send a fix soon.  I have not had a problem on my phone.
