### 4/5 — Good Potential

*2023-10-02*

Love the app. Small bug where the app crashes when updating progress on book reading. And would like a dnf option. Other than that, it’s great! Love the option to search for new covers online!

### 2/5 — Unfortunate Bug

*2023-07-03*

Was in the middle of adding my first book and switched to my browser to go grab the cover image. When I switched back to the app, everything I had done was gone. No, I hadn’t yet hit the save button but expected the app to preserve my work as I hadn’t closed it.

**Developer response:** Hey there, I’m really sorry you encountered this bug. Rest assured, I am looking into this issue and hope to provide an update soon.

Sam

### 5/5 — Looks great

*2021-09-22*

I love that you can track pages each day without worrying about time, and that you can search for cover images. Is there a way to search the list of books you’ve entered?

**Developer response:** Glad you’re enjoying the app! Searching/filtering your library isn’t currently available, but this is being worked on for a future version 😄

Update: Searching and filtering has just been added in the latest update! I hope you’re enjoying Leatherbound!
