This app is not for you. This app exists because my wife looked at the mountain of professional, multi-million dollar options on the market and decided none of them were quite as good as something I could cobble together in my spare time. So, to mitigate the risk of being replaced by a more compliant AI husband, here we are. What it does: scan a book's barcode, or photograph its cover, and Book/Read looks it up for you using OpenLibrary, Google Books, and Apple Books. Then keep track of what you've read and when, how much you liked it (half stars, even), and who recommended it. Everything syncs between your iPhone, iPad, and Mac through iCloud, and you can export your library as a file whenever you like. Important Notice for the General Public: You are NOT the target audience: This app was built for a user base of exactly one (1) wife, four (4) relatives, and maybe three (3) friends who were too polite to say no. The Entitlement Buffer: This app is not free. This is a deliberate barrier to entry designed to repel the entitled masses who enjoy leaving one-star reviews because an app doesn't predict the weather or validate their life choices. The Trespasser’s Fee: If you ignore this warning and buy it anyway, congratulations—you’ve just donated to my "Tolerating the Internet" fund. Your money will be spent on a beverage to help me cope with your existence. Feedback Policy: Unless we're living together, your opinion is statistically irrelevant. If you find a bug, tell your own partner about it; I’m already busy enough being told what’s wrong with the app by mine. If you aren't on the authorized list of people allowed to eat the 'good' snacks in our pantry, please move along. There are thousands of other apps made by people who actually want your money and input. I am not one of them. Get off my lawn, The Grumpy Old Man who created this.
