Great interface, needs a scanner

After trying out different library apps, Libbo is my favorite in terms of ease of use when it comes to categorizing my collection: the important parts are big buttons right at the top of the page.

However, this app really needs an ISBN scanner to make adding large collections or purchases at once, otherwise it ends up very tedious.

I would love this app if

I could sort it by authors and also log in to this App on any of my iPhone and iPads so I could see me lists. It would
Also be great to catalog and group by author and series

Almost perfect

I love the look and functions of this app but it would be SOOO much better if it had the ability to scan the barcode on books and upload them automatically instead of having to type the titles in manually.

Thank you for the great feedback! We are really happy to hear that you like the app. Barcode-scanning is definitely something we want to do in the future. :)

Updated review

I loved this app. It seemed like a perfect way to keep track of my large library and it was convenient to use when shopping. The HUGE and irredeemable flaw is that your collection is tied to your phone - meaning it won’t transfer to a new device. This makes my digital catalog useless now that I have upgraded my phone.
*** Since the new update, my collection has been recovered. I was extremely impressed with the creators as they contacted me personally when I lost my collection with switching phones and then followed up when they made the updates. Great follow through and HUGE improvement to this great app.

Thank you for your kind words, we’re so happy that we could help you out and fix the issue! Your feedback is highly valuable for us and all our users :)

Nice

I like the app. There is just one problem which is that some books don’t have and image

Response from developer

Hi, happy to hear that you like the app! We are actually working on a solution for the missing images as we speak - it will be live very soon! Hope you will like it :)

Not functional

I don’t know if this is a prototype but it currently does nothing. Opening the app you can click on search amazon but the app does nothing. Hopefully it’ll work later. The concept is nice. I think it’s just too early. If you can add a function that can scan amazon and automatically pull the titles to add that would be great. I hope this app picks up.

Hi, and thank you for your kind words! Amazon has unfortunately blocked our access to their book information, which means we have to investigate other possible sources of data. We do work on getting Libbo back online, and really hope you will give it another try when it's back! // ---- Update 03.12.18 Hi again! I know it's been quite some time since the last update, but the problem was, unfortunately, much more complicated than we anticipated. We had to rewrite our infrastructure to handle new data sources and store the information in an entirely different way. While we are incredibly sorry that we were unable to recover collections made in the previous version, I can assure you that we have taken great measures to prevent this from happening again in the future! We hope you will give Libbo another try! Again, thank you for your support! - Adrian / Oeto

Failed

I thought it was great. Easy to use and a great way to keep track of things I wanted to read, wanted to buy and had already read. I would have rated it very highly UNTIL it stopped working. It no longer opens at all so my information is currently lost now. If this resolves, I’d love the app.

Hi! We are really happy to hear that you like Libbo! Yesterday, one of our Amazon access keys were invalidated without warning, making us unable to retrieve required information. We are working to resolve it as soon as possible, but it may, unfortunately, take a couple of days until we get it sorted out with Amazon 😕 Your collections are not affected, and will load normally after the issue is resolved 🙂 Thanks for reaching out, we hope you will give it another go when it is back online! // ---- Update 03.12.18 Hi again!
