Solid 4.5 or 4.75

It’s not a full five stars even though that’s what I marked on the star rating since I can’t do half or quarters. It’s an amazing app and really helps me keep track of what books and movies I already own so I don’t end up with duplicates unless I’m looking at a standard copy versus a special edition copy. It’s a bit of a struggle to find some of my books at moments if I don’t use the correct terms as it tries to give me others that I’m not looking for. I love that I can add tags so I know what’s a signed copy and other details. The one downside is having to add images for some of my books as it doesn’t always pull them automatically. This is fine for the books I have to hand enter but the books I can just scan the barcode it kinda sucks. I do enjoy the web aspect that allows for quick edits too.

Great app

Giving it a 4 only because some of the older books it doesn’t recognize the barcode/book so you have to type it in manually. Otherwise great app! I’ve organized all of my books and my kids books for all of us were at a total of 593 books so it’s definitely hard keeping track of what we already have.

ISBN Only Search Limit

In attempting to catalog my library I’ve made it through 1 1/2 shelves and half of the books Libib couldn’t find by ISBN. There is no other way to search for and add a book besides manually entering information. With 46 shelves to go, I will not be moving forward with this app.

Could be better

Prior to the most recent update, the app could use some additional features- to be able to filter by year of when books were finished, to be able to scroll or select letters on the side to find books by the first letter. Some cons- sometimes the cover of the book does not show when adding a book. When you manually add a cover picture - there’s no way to zoom in on the picture. With the newest update, I haven’t been able to add the picture of the cover because it says “unable to connect to server”. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a good app, but there could be better feature additions to make it better.

And please fix the server so I can add the cover photo, since it doesn’t always appear.

Lost My Data

The app makes cataloging books simple, but about 1/3 of my books have disappeared. I contacted the company, and they said they have no way to get it back.
