Book List Library ISBN Scanner

This is an excellent app if you need to accumulate a listing of your book collection. There’s one thing that would make it a lot easier to use, though. Some of the listings have an alpha index along the right of the screen, allowing you to quickly access any title. With others, you have to scroll screens until you reach the desired title. It can be a hassle to go from Adams to Zane. With that one exception, I can’t think of how this app could work any better.

I loved this app! I have taken so much time to take photos of the front and back covers of all of my books, and for some reason, almost all of the back covers are now missing. Plus, when you add a back cover to a new entry, it doesn’t save it. So now all you can use is the front cover. So basically, this app is no better than any other book collector app since they only allow a front cover photo. I wrote to the developer but received no reply at all as to whether this was a known issue or if they were working on it. Now, I just found that almost all of my front covers are now missing. I have over 400 books in my collection that I photographed the front and back covers of each book, and now, almost every front & back cover is gone. This is ridiculous and poor business. I wish developers would take more pride in their work and care more for their customers. It just always seems to come down to making the money, and the hell with the rest of it.

The idea of this app is great. Was basically hoping to organize a list of a very large number of books my company has been keeping in storage, and scanning the ISBNs is an efficient and reliable way to do that. However, after about a dozen scans, the app forces you to pay for the "full" version, though you can continue to add the ISBNs manually. Adding any book to your "list" requires at minimum a title, author and photo of the front cover. So I was taking a lot of photos on top of having to manually add the ISBNs, and constantly adding data. However, once you've added a book, you cannot go back to edit any of the information unless you pay the $10 for the "full" version (and some of the information the app provides for a book is incorrect.) Overall was expecting a much more intelligent and efficient app for this purpose; and the $10 is just a bit too steep a price to pay.

I really love the idea of this app. I love that I can list all the books I have on here and organize them by when I last read them. A couple of annoying things though: 1.) You have to manually put in the ISBN of each book which can be tedious. When I tried the camera option, it just told me that the ISBN might belong to another book and to manually put it in anyway. Also, if you are able to capture the ISBN image, there is a small limit to how many books you can add that way. Then they want you to pay $9.99 for unlimited. That is an absurd amount of money as you can continue to manually input them. 2.) Some of the author’s names or book titles are put in strangely so they are out of order when you try to organize them by name or author. For example, Harry Potter #7 author name is K.J, Rowling, so it’s not included with my J.K Rowling section which is super annoying. Also, you can’t edit it without paying that ungodly amount of $9.99. Otherwise, I’m enjoying the app. I use this one as well as the movie app.

Do not download this App. It is free up to a point, and then once you download a certain number of books - well under 10, they give a pop up saying you need to pay $10 for more advanced usage. I accidentally hit that agreement and instantly bought the $$ app. I immediately contacted Apple and attempted to get a refund and was informed that this company did not offer refunds so I would need to contact them. So I did that. I got an automated reply (on that Friday) that I would be contacted by someone M-Th. No reply. I waited until Wednesday of the next week, sent another message, no reply. POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE. Complete and total rip off! Do not grace this company with your money. Shame on them.
