Book Collection + Catalog

Badly needed a decent inventory for all those wonderful books - this was almost perfect. A night theme (black background and light grey font) would be good for those of us not into pastel colours

I am using paid version because in it facility to take image of your book but, I lost my all images. And also when we try to recover from my backup, I am unable to get back data with image. Then what is the use of bullshit paid app.

Great buy. Been shopping around for book catalog and by far this best around......03/29/17....can't back up data...get IO exception error. Need help!!

I am finding lately that it is NOT finding books that I have bought in the system so I am having to imput manually..fustrating when I buy 10 to 15 new books every few months..please fix

I have uploaded this app on multiple devices. It would be nice to be able to synchronize across devices

I wish there was a way to sync the kindle & google play book apps. Also I wish there was a way to add series name and book number.

I love it! You can track just about everything under the sun AND have a permanent backup in the cloud! If only there was a way to put in page numbers, then I could search for the shortest books on my To Be Read list!

5/2/15 update: "Random Pick" keeps freezing. Can you fix it? 3/15/15 How about a series field? Also, a duplicate title warning?

Love the app and upgraded to the paid version. Been using for a couple of years as its easy to use. The only issue I have is when I restore from the server the spaces disappear between words and are replaced by either a + or % in the book title field. With hundreds of books its now going to be time consuming to go into each individual book & remove the unwanted charters and replace with the space. When this is fixed I'll give 5 stars!

Am so excited with this app I use it to track my audio books. Simple to use love the back up feature since I've lost data on other phones. I would like to suggest the Author field to be filled automatically when title is scanned from online database . Also the ability to edit pictures I take of book. I can do it but have to switch back and fourth from phone camera app. Thanks you for the app job well done!

This is an excellent application for the logging of your book collection. It can backup and export the entire catalog.

Nicely done so far should add author when the book is added by isbn. Also. Have a way to look up an individual book by entering part of the title or author.

Would be nice to have a sub-category option to identify books that are in a trilogy or mini-series portion of a larger category or series.

A place to put name of series and number of book in series. I do love all the other features.

I am trying to inventory thousands of books in my house. 1. I don't want the feature of emailing friends so as to need the contacts permission. I don't like my contact list being accessed by the bar code reader. It wasn't listed on line as one of the permissions needed until I needed the bar code reader. 2. I do not understand why author info is not automatically grabbed when the ISBN is read, the title and book cover are, if a choice, I'd much rather the author than the cover. For the thousands (At least 30 completely filled book boxes, probably 50 or 60) of books, this doubles the time needed to enter the info. 3. For donation or house inventory purposes, I want to enter the price or at least the list price of each book. There's no field, I added the info to the the remarks field. For donations, I made donation the location. 4. When doing collections, especially of a prolific author, having a prefill option would be nice... huge time saver similar to what Excel has when filling in text in a cell., or Money/Quicken for transactions.

Discovered serious bug. Will not import data properly from csv files. To test this I had Book Collection create .csv file and then tried importing the same file, unchanged, back into the program. The ISBN and description fields imported, everything else was lost. Also, when exporting it said the file would go to a certain locatiion. It went to an entirely different location and I had to search the drive to find it. Also, It did not go to the SD card, went to the memory of the phone itself. I decided to test the feature to backup the database to the server provided the software creator. It worked OK when I backed it up, deleted the files off my phone, and then restored. Next, I decided to simulate restoring to a new device, so I deleted the software off my phone and reinstalled it, then restored from the server. Most of the data restored properly, however, user created catagories did not restore. For this reason I will no longer use the catagory option in the program; instead, I will append the category to the end of the title. Doing this the database restored OK. Without .csv import capability it will not be possible to restore data if the server goes away.

This is exactly the kind of app I needed and after upgrading to the paid edition, I can now edit the categories to my needs. I would love the option to be able to add more categories. And it would be nice to either have the pic of my book on the home page or be able to pick from a variety of icons.

Nice easy way to catalog books. On your filter page, the button for filtering loaned items, however, reads "Loaned Movies". Minor, but might want to fix. Also, a suggestion to allow bulk update (ie: abiltity to filter on a category such as " cookbook" and update location for all items to reflect "kitchen".)

I really like this app but I would love to see an option to deligniate who's collection it belongs to/in aside from the location feature. I would also love a series column so that you can sort the books in order of the series.

Developed sub-categories for books...transferred files and app to new phone and lost sub-categories. Hmmm; frustrating. Otherwise like the app

A definite must for any book enthusiast.

This app is really good, but I would love to be able to sort my books by author as well. Otherwise, no complaints!

Some things improved with last update; some things now worse. 1. CSV import crashes in paid version (Dec 2014). Documentation page is wrong- e.g. the 'import .csv' text refers to movies, not books, so casts doubt on whether the correct fields are described. 2. Editing some entries crashes app. 3. A direct import (read db, not via csv) from 'free' version to paid version (when both are installed at the same version level) would help avoid csv faults.

Need more feature for book that has more than 1 volume, ability to check a missing volume and info tab to show latest volume I have.

Love it. If I could change or add one feature I'd like a section that I could indicate if the book is a part of a series.

Easy to use, but would be nice to be have some type of divider indication when sorted by category. App is well worth the upgrade price for full version.

Like being able to transfer updated dB between my devices. One wish. It'd be great if the books could be listed by author last name instead of first name.

How about a series field? Also, a duplicate title warning?

A great app for my 5500+ book Collection

Great buy. Been shopping around for book catalog and by far this best around.

Best one so far.

I had issues with importing my books to my new phone with the free version, decided to finally upgrade to the paid version to see if it would work. It did and I finally had almost all my books imported to the new phone. I'm glad the paid version isn't broken like the free version because that would have been at least a day wasted rescanning all my books. I'd love a series section in the info so I knew which series the book belonged to and it's place in the series. I use the note spot for that info right now

I would also like a field for what I paid for a book.... helpful when re-selling. Update: just transferred my list to new tablet- so easy!! Would recommend this app to anyone.

It would be nice if there were pictures next to the title as you scroll through your inventory.

Awesome app! Suggestions: Place category headers on the home screen (books), that way everything doesn't just run together.

I really like this app. It does what it is supposed to do and has nearly everything I could want. It would be perfect if it would fill in the author's name when it finds a book.

Undoubtedly this is a great app hence went for a paid app. I would want the pictures of the books to come up whenever i open the saved book.

Love this app! Works great, however I would like this to be improved just a bit. I would love it to show a small summary of the book and also as I add books, have the authors name to show as last, first. However, this is a very great app and works wonderfully!
