Tried deleting, signing out, and redownloading time and time again but it doesn’t work. Please fix the bugs! ### 1/5 — Unable to create a login *2023-07-30* Downloaded just fine but cannot create a login. ### 1/5 — Select Library field is empty *2023-05-11* Excited to try out app because I liked the desktop interface. But when I logged in, I clicked “select library” and it was blank :/ Haven’t figured out a way to get to my library to check items out. ### 1/5 — Useless *2023-01-20* Create a test library on a desktop computer. Downloaded this app and tried to login, failed! Selected forgotten password and as soon I submit the email address the app closes. Very poor indeed ### 1/5 — Cannot Login without Crashing *2019-09-09* I downloaded this to manage a work library and can no longer use it. Had been previously logged in and received a “cannot access library” error so I logged out. App crashed upon login. Uninstalled and reinstalled with no improvement. Help! ### 1/5 — Crashes *2019-09-03* I downloaded this app over a year ago and had an account set up, but now it just crashes every time I try to use it. I have an iPhone. ### 1/5 — App doesn’t work or usable *2019-03-23* Apps crashes and unable to do check out using Apple iPhone ### 2/5 — awesome concept but lots of bugs *2022-03-07* i use this for my private book collection, but my friends can never access it via the app, and there are loads of smaller bugs ### 3/5 — Great program, glitchy app *2026-01-08* I am so thankful for a free program for our small library. However, the app is almost too glitchy to use. It has been very disappointing and I hope they will update it soon! ### 3/5 — Only for librarians. Not for members *2020-07-18* Basic functionality for librarians. No use for members ## Most praised reviews (8 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Good app (needs an update, though) *2025-11-05* I first used this for a college project on the browser version of Librarika. I liked it so much that I made a new account and got this app. I now use it to manage my personal collection of books in my house, which despite what the description says, I can use Librarika alone for managing my books. My only request is that this app needs more updates, especially for bug fixes and adding more features from the browser version of Librarika. ### 5/5 — Definitely recommend! *2024-11-14* I love this app for my small library. All though it seems a little outdated, it works very well! And the free plan is excellent! Goes well with the website as well! The phone app allows barcode scanning which is a must! Definitely would recommend if you are looking for a free, awesome library checkout and book service! ### 5/5 — Excellent scanner app for Librarika *2016-05-15* Cool, now I can catalog books easily using iPhone scanner app. No need to purchase a separate barcode scanner for my small library. ### 5/5 — Khan *2016-05-09* User friendly and fast app. Serves my purposes :) ### 4/5 — Work in Progress *2025-08-30, version 1.0* So far a reliable barebones ILS that can be a tad convenient. Though it may not have all the bells and whistles, it still does the core job and it helps out a small library. A few bugs that would need attention but nothing too crazy that it will break the collection. ### 4/5 — Pretty Useful ... *2018-02-03* Works fine with a couple of quirks. Big feature wish list, but very useful and relatively unique in this field. Useful for Professional librarians, teachers, yet home user-friendly. Had one issue with an update that apparently did not install correctly, the app was “broken“ for a while. But a simple uninstall and reinstall fixed all that. ### 3/5 — Updates? *2020-06-24* There doesn’t seem to be as many features on the app as when I first downloaded it a couple of years ago. Live the desktop version, but don’t seem to have anyway to access my complete catalog from the app anymore! ### 3/5 — Wonderful... missing a key feature. *2017-10-26* This is a great interface to a great system. We are trying to run an iPad kiosk and could really use access to the alternate camera for book scanning. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
