Crashes Often

Crashes often. I barely had four books inventoried and it crashed six times. I also noticed that a couple ISBN for new books couldnt be found. This app is severely disappointing.

Crash Crash Crash

Great concept but the latest version crashes each time you want to import the image from Internet. When you delete the app and synchronize the data you lose most if not all images stored so far. Great concept but poor app performance.

In theory

It would be great, simple format and easy to use...IF it actually worked. So far it has only found about 2 or 3 books out of about 30 books, using the scan barcode. Theyre not obscure or hard to find books either. Im having to enter all the books manually, and seeing as I have several hundred books, thats a real pain and very time consuming. I was hoping after having paid so much for this app that it would work well. It has potential but the database is ridiculously small apparently. It didnt even recognize my Game of Thrones book.

Terrible Crashing App

So I thought I would take a chance and get this app--huge mistake! Ever scan came up "unknown" and it is constantly crashing!!! Seriously, it crashed at least 10 times in a period of less than three minutes. Hopefully an update will fix these problems but until it does, stay AWAY from this app!!!

Works great for me

I personally have had a good experience so far with this app. I have the desktop app too and I love the UX design for both. I think it is intuitive and nice to look at. It is really nice to have the data stored in the cloud so I can sync it across my devices. Scanning barcodes has worked fine for me for mainstream books, and the Google search works for ones that dont scan. Ive only had to manually input once. The valuation feature is nice too, and will be useful for insurance. Overall I am very pleased with this app.

Started well and then...

Began adding in books, scanning and then having to use the isbn numbers because so many were "unknown". Then began to close repeatedly so no data added. Very frustrating.

unable to sesrch online

works fine if you scan but dont try to search online because if you enter ISBN it will crash.

Used to be great

I download this app years ago and it worked great at the time. I dont know if it is slow now because I have over 1000 books or because the updates have ruined it. It takes ages to load and doesnt find my books as easily as it did in the beginning. Im kind of getting the feeling that its been abandoned.

A bit of a mess

App crashes constantly when adding new items. Sort is clunky and doesn’t find items I know are there. Doesn’t sync properly when I add new items to the web app. Waste of money.

Needs work - buggy

Buggy as hell. Great interface, if it didnt freeze after adding a few books. Dont buy.

Nice way to capture a media library

Scanning the bar codes of movies and adding them to your library is addicting. The app does hang up occasionally and some media are not in the database, but they can be entered manually. I only wish you could identify the rating of the movies and sort them by rating.

Not bad

Decent app. Crashes from time to time but was able to scan over 100 books without a crash. Import from lite version did not bring games and only a couple books. Prices are way off. iPhone and iPad apps require separate purchase. But still a great way to organize your library.

Fed up

I bought this app to simplify my library and in case of a fire/break in/natural disaster/zombie apocalypse I would have a way of maintaining a record of what I have. This app has not followed up on the expectations it set up for me. The barcode scanner is nearly useless, the search function is a joke, the app crashes every 10 searches, and the layout of the controls are unintuitive. Until some major changes are made to this app, I would not recommend it to anyone nor use it myself.

Aboslute waste of time

This app does not scan any of my titles using my iPad 2 camera (I know its not great, but dont pretend it will) AND Id have to buy twice to have it on my iPhone and iPad. Absolute waste of money and time. Thanks for ripping me off.

Worked fine until latest upgrade ...

Worked fine until the upgrade on 15 June 2014. Now the app wont even load :-(

Needs update

This app was working great until recently. Now it wont open.

Disappointed.

This WAS one of my favorite apps. I work for a wireless provider and recommend this app often. I will no longer do so because the app will not even open. This is one of the few apps I actually paid for and Im very disappointed.

Home Library

Worked well until last update. Now it will not work on my iPhone. Would not recommend it as is.

New update no good

This was my go-to app for cataloging my home book and video library until this latest upgrade. Now its a mess. Nothing will sort the way its supposed to. I cant do an author or subject listing, or at least its called something new now. Please put this back the way it was - this new upgrade stinks. Very much less effective & now its crashing constantly. I pd for the full version ... Can I get my money back months later???

Needs to be fixed

Loved this app until the last update on June 14th to version 7.0. Now app wont even open. I dont want to lose everything
