The first time I used it, I was scanning books to see if anyone was wishing for them, and it seemed to work fine. I was excited to try downloading the paid version to manage my shelf better. Now, 12 hours later, it won't show me my bookshelf, requests, or wish list -- I just have a black screen below the toolbar. I will keep it in the background in case an update is posted that would fix this issue, but since it looks like people have been having this issue for months, I am not going to get my hopes up. :/

I had no problem authorizing my account, but nothing in the app worked. It won't sync my information, even on WiFi. It doesn't have any of my account data (credits, free swaps, bookshelf) and won't find any book I search for. Everything is stuck on "no data found." Too bad.

You can do anything on the app and it never updates your status. Might as well use the windows browser.

won't authorize my account, says it won't use barcode scanning in the free version. Very hard to read on my 5 inch screen. Uninstalling.

by I####:
It tells me that it's going to open the browser and authorize my account, but I just get a black screen. The one time it did do something else, it opened in Chrome, like I wanted it to, and then it gave me a choice to allow or deny some things. I clicked allow, then got a message saying that the app wasn't authorized. All of this says "buggy app" to me. I don't mind paying for an app, but if I can't get the free version to work at all, then I'm not going to buy the paid version.

You can't post, request or mark mailed with this, so what's it good for besides teasing you into spending money on the full version? Uninstalled.
