My personal home library consists of hardback books, paperback books, DVDs, VHS tapes, CDs, etc. I would like to see the ability to add different categories in this app.

The BIGGEST issue I have had so far is the app dropping off entries. I scan and save an item but when I look for it later, it isn't listed anymore. This is becoming a huge issue as my library grows and I depend on this app to know what I have and what I still need.

Update: I had to delete all of our (~2k) movies out of LT, because the list was never completely accurate. I have downloaded another app to track our collections of everything but books. The updates that this app DESPERATELY needs are: ability to personalize categories, a loaned to tracker, and the ability to see more detail, such as whether a book is a paperback, hardback or ebook. Developers — PLEASE listen to your customers! We are willing to pay for a PRO version with these features!

I LOVE this app for keeping my library, however, I noticed that I’ve missed a LOT of messages for Early Reader copies because the app doesn’t notify me of the messages! This app could be SO much better considering most people do more ‘managing’ on their phones than at a computer! I’m at a computer all day so I don’t find it feasible to stay on in the evenings to manage my books. Goodreads app has all of their features on their app - so I’d really like to see this app updated because I do prefer the “cover” layout of my scanned books (as opposed to a list-style that Goodreads does)! I’ll definitely upgrade this to a 5⭐️ rating once the app is upgraded to include more of the same features as the website.

I just got this but can't use it. Without an ability to create non-default collects (such as "ordered"), the app is useless to me. And based on reviews (which I should have read first), there is an unknown limit to the number of books stored. The moment you exceed this limit, you have wasted every minute of time you spent entering books. A warning would help, or a notification that a book will be deleted (with a title), or even an archive function would be better than whatever they're using (I suspect FIFO). I will keep it around a little while longer to see if these 2 issues are addressed.
