### 2/5 — Good for scanning but bad for listing

*2016-01-01*

To begin with, it should be understood that this app is just a mobile interface; you need o create the database on your computer. I have found the app very useful for scanning barcodes to enter CD's into the database, but when I export the database to my iPad and try to look at it there it is almost useless. You have to scroll down from the top, so if you have a large database it is very tedious to look at anything beyond the first few screens. There is a fast-scrolling mechanism, but it crashes the app every time I try to use it.

### 1/5 — Not usable

*2015-02-14*

Unfortunately, no instructions for creating a database. Wants my IP address and port number to connect. Connection failed. I deleted the app and will keep looking for something to catalog my cds.

### 1/5 — Don't Bother!

*2014-09-16*

I downloaded the program and couldn't get it to open. Waste of time.
