I wish I could give this a 5 star review. The organizational capabilities are superb. However- I’ve had this app for over a year. And the syncing problems between devices have resulted in so much wasted time and frustration- including requiring me to re scan several hundred books due to sync problems: either the sync Will not sync or it takes a very long time for it to show up- it doesn’t help if info doesn’t sync from 1 device to the other like it’s supposed to. This app really needs some kind of sign in process to store things online and easily access info from any device without constantly having to check to be sure things are “syncing “ from
One device to another. Would also be nice to have compatibility with Google cloud for storage…would also be nice if info was stored on the web instead of device (or at least the option to pick either one) for people who don’t have tons of storage on their actual device.

It has to be better.

PROs
Structure:
Structure is the best this reviewer has found in library apps for iOS

Design is easily navigable and logical, clean, uncluttered, very friendly

Good selection of developer-created fields that can be added to book info page

CONs
First off, customer service:
From within app Support tab takes you to static web site page describing features of one or several apps, it isn't clear, and to a Contact page with email form.
No Forums.
No FAQs.

So, basically, invisible developers.

Accessibility:
Few if no accessibility options

Book image offered in one size only

No option to customise fields, that is, to allow users to create their own book info fields, such as: Foreword, Preface, Print Run Total, Print Run Number, Signed, etc

No option to rearrange layout of book info page

No option to insert user's own values to field values, for example, the default status for a new book cannot be set to be a value not included among the three offered

All in all, the best available, BUT it has to be more flexible to be worth the $4.99 developer charges for unlimited-entries version.

I have whittled my library down as I’ve downsized my home, but still have a couple of thousand volumes that I’ve collected over some 40+ years. Guess what, most do not have a barcode. It would have been so much better if one could search/add by entering the ISBN (still not good for everything) instead of the search function that is here, especially when there are multiple editions of a title and one wants to get the correct one. For a newer collection this is probably just fine, but not for me.

Update- just found the enter isbn feature which is very nice. Now how about LC or other older systems?
