1) Frequently I have trouble posting new acquistion -- error message reads: "There was an error retrieving the details. Pull down to refresh and try again." But it does not refresh ... Then a day later it takes the information ... 2) Frequently the app loses bookjacket photos ...

I have several books that show under an author but when I click on that author, there is nothing there or some are missing. They show up if I search by the book name so they are in the catalog.

The app will not load. I get the little spinny dial thingy, eternally. I was able to go to the website through Brave, to do what I needed to, but what a pain.

By Steve Toby 1 year ago

I cannot add new books in any way except manually and I can view but not sort the books in my collection.
