### 2/5 — Not working

*2020-07-13, version 1.3*

It worked for a couple days, but then I opened it today and it is not working.  Please update the app.

### 4/5 — Love it, but needs update

*2019-12-15, version 1.3*

This app is vital to my collection development. Please don’t forget about it. When is the next update?

### 2/5 — Camera doesn’t work

*2019-10-03, version 1.3*

This would be great if the camera barcode scanner worked. :/

### 2/5 — Can’t scan barcodes

*2019-07-16, version 1.3*

Please run an update to fix the camera. I’m using iOS 12.3.1 and the camera is black when I open it. Would love to be able to use the barcode scanning feature.

### 2/5 — Camera won’t engage

*2018-12-08, version 1.3*

I upgraded my phone to an Xr and now I can’t scan barcodes.

### 1/5 — App unusable on iPhone 6

*2015-01-11, version 1.2*

Used this app all the time on my iPhone 4. Just upgraded to a 6 yesterday and am disappointed but not surprised that, just like Brytewave, another Follett app no longer works.  When will Follett hire competent coders? This is ridiculous.

### 1/5 — Crashes constantly

*2014-12-07, version 1.2*

I used this app ALL the time, but it has done nothing but crash instantly upon opening for the past three weeks. Hey, Follett: update your apps or don't offer them at all!

### 3/5 — Wonderful when it doesn't crash

*2014-11-27, version 1.2*

The features on this app are great! Love that I can search easily, find reviews right away, and add titles to new or pre-existing order lists. Unfortunately, I set it up to log in to my account automatically and now it crashes every time I try to open it. Would have given it 5 stars if it didn't crash all of the time.

### 2/5 — Room for improvement

*2012-04-09*

This is a practical app for Follett librarians on the go: searching, creating lists and preparing orders using the app is great. However,    it keeps logging you out! (For updating?) Follett, please fix that. It is very annoying.

### 4/5 — Great app!

*2011-05-12, version 1.0*

Scanning is very useful, but I wish it would flag the books that I already have in my collection.

### 4/5 — Library coordinator

*2011-04-22, version 1.0*

Thought I had died and gone to Heaven especially when I saw the scan barcode feature but that feature doesn't always work. The ISBN's have to be exact apparently and I too have found inconsistencies with Follett's own books/ISBN's.  Other than that it's awesome!!  Can't wait to shop for books!

### 4/5 — An Excellent Start

*2011-04-13, version 1.0*

This is an app I've been waiting for. I am an elementary school library/media specialist and have used Titlewave for quite a few years. I've been impressed with Follett's commitment to using technology and innovation to increase the functionality of it's online services. This app is an excellent entry into the mobile marketplace. 

The interface with the iPhone 4 is slick, functional and even elegant. Integration with lists saved online, the ability to create new lists on the fly, to check whether individual titles are already in the collection or on a list and the amazing depth of easily accessible information on every book listed is very impressive. AR points, AR levels, Interest Levels, Reading Counts, Lexiles, Citations, all the major reviews...it's all there with a fast, intuitive touch or swipe.

The ISBN Barcode scan feature of the search function is blazing fast. The downside? It's so fast it'll sometimes grab part of the code before you can center it, leading the null returns.  Also, scanned searches are inconsistent, returning as many "sorry, no matches" as good results. Surprisingly, this even happens with Follett's own Follett Bound books. 

Overall, this app does not disappoint. And it gives me one more reason to play with my iPhone.

### 1/5 — Unable to log in

*2023-01-27, version 1.3*

The app freezes and shuts down every time I try to log in. I am able to log in on their website with the same credentials. Reinstalled the app but not successful.

### 1/5 — Scan no more

*2019-06-21, version 1.3*

The camera doesn’t work on my new XS phone, so I used my old phone connected to the internet. I scanned about 50 books and only 1 was recognized 🙄 such a waste of time. It use to work with about 20% needing to be typed in, but now that 98% need to be typed in... it isn’t doing what it said it would.

### 1/5 — Barcode scanner no longer working

*2019-02-14, version 1.3*

I got a new iPhone and the barcode scanner no longer works in this app which is very disappointing. Please put out an update!

### 1/5 — Update please

*2018-12-21, version 1.3*

Please update the app. I have loved using it and now with my iPhone 7 my camera isn’t working. All I see is a black screen when I tried scanning a ISBN barcode on a book I wanted.

### 1/5 — Barcode scanning doesn’t work on newest phones/iOS

*2018-11-24, version 1.3*

I used to love this app, but, it hasn’t been updated in a long time. Now the camera/barcode scanner won’t work on the newest iPhones or iOS. That is what makes this app so handy! If I wanted to type titles, I would just do it on the website. Please update the app and provide support for the newer systems.

### 1/5 — Crashes

*2015-04-11, version 1.2*

This used to work fine when it came out, but it hasn't worked for me for at least a year.

### 1/5 — Constantly Crashes

*2015-04-03, version 1.2*

This app would be awesome if it didn't crash every time I opened it!

### 1/5 — Basically unusable

*2015-03-06, version 1.2*

I would love to use this app, but it constantly crashes. It crashed with my iPhone 5 and now my iPhone 6. I have tried deleting and re-downloading the app. Nothing has worked so far. Very frustrating.

### 1/5 — Hunt

*2015-02-28, version 1.2*

This was great! Now- does not function at all.

### 1/5 — Not working like it did...

*2015-01-24, version 1.2*

Updated my phone to the newest IOS and now this app crashes constantly. I have tried to delete and reinstall but it didn't help. Please fix!

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2018-06-27, version 1.3*

Great app! I love how I can scan barcodes to add titles to my list. No more writing down book titles or ISBN’s!

### 5/5 — Slick!

*2012-01-24, version 1.2*

Having this app when in a bookstore or at a conference is essential. I used to snap pics of covers with my phone with the intention of putting a list together when I got back to school. Now I just pop them into a Follett list and my ordering is done! 
Follett books cost a bit more than Baker & Taylor, but innovations like this are well worth it.

### 5/5 — Wet Pants

*2011-08-04, version 1.2*

This app is so awesome, I wet my pants every time I use it. As an aspiring librarian, this is a little awkward.

### 5/5 — Fabulous App!!!!

*2011-04-14, version 1.0*

This is a great app.  I love having my Titlewave lists in a portable form.  Very easy to navigate.  Now I don't have to run back to the computer, I can add books to my lists right from the stacks.  How convenient!!   I will use this app a lot.

### 5/5 — LOVE this app!!!!!!!!

*2011-04-14, version 1.0*

Great job! This app is really going to be a great help! Thank you!

### 5/5 — Fantastic

*2011-04-13, version 1.0*

It is so much easier to do collection development on my iPad versus using the full version. Bravo!

### 5/5 — Great for managing my lists!

*2011-04-13, version 1.0*

Very nice app that allows me to add to my want lists wherever I might be.  And having quick and easy access to my TitleWise analysis when I'm discussing needs is just wonderful!  Thank you Follett!

### 5/5 — A dream come true!

*2011-04-13, version 1.0*

Great app!  Even has SLJ reviews   This will be my most frequently used app. Can't wait to see what features get added over time. Thank you Follett!!

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2011-04-13, version 1.0*

Awesome!!!

### 5/5 — Awesome tool for librarians on the go

*2011-04-13, version 1.0*
