I hate it
Easiest and most comprehensive book inventory app on the market
The only reason I don't give this app a 5, is because my phone gallery is full of book covers. I thought the images were stored on a server because I didn't take most of them, the app just added them. Please do something about it, I hardly have any space left for pictures.
Just scan and book inventory is done. Deluxe to get rid of adds is nice. Suggest in app purchase for features like series recognition.
It used up all?my data taking picture i mean rilly ppl it took me 2 hours to deleat them plz fix
Everytime i try to search it searches but NEVER pops up.
I hate it
jjjjjjjj

Easy enough to use. But as others have pointed out, a lot of it is in french. Full translation would be nice. And a way of getting rid of tags from the droplist that were typos.
About history in the South. Book can be order from outskitrspress.
Nice
I love the ease of cataloging my growing library. Wanted to do this for years. Thanks
Knows some limited number of french books maybe. Useless for a non french or international collection.
Very helpful, but export only seems to work when remembering to check "export as an attached file" box. Why is that required?
Help is in French. Books by same author are also in French. No way to choose English. Otherwise a great app.
Just the app i was looking for the scanner does work really well. Definitely an application to have if you have your own library.
does not focus
Tried to export to csv - completely unusable, total mess.
Tried it out & it's a good app so far. The layout could be a bit smoother & I've only been able to have the list with all of them, although you can create your own list of authors (& others) by adding filters. Don't really mind the bits in French as its Pretty easy to figure out & there really isn't that much of it any way. Tome is book; not sure if Serie is French for Series or they just forgot the 's' on the end. Doesn't include a lot of useless info about the book that you don't care about. Scanner isn't working, but oh, well. Just takes 20 secs longer to manually enter the ISBN & get the data. Oh no, what horror. But over all, a good little app. Will be trying it for a while then going to ad free version if I still like it, 'cause the ads are annoying. The ability to change the colour of the background would be nice
Import of 250 books worked fine, after finding out about the field names. Best is to add just one book and export it to see them. Different fields with Excel are easy to combine and can be added to "summary". The Excel csv-format needs to be saved again via Notepad with UTF-8 character setting. Umlaute are OK! So far I could not find a way to import book cover. By now I am not able to export from latest version to find out about the additional filed names. The developer blog is French only and did not mention anything about covers. This is somehow fine for free, but I wonder if the paid version is easier to use
does not focus
The app looks and feels really well developed. The only issue I had was with some of the phrasing, for example, 'the reader doesn't got it'. These problems aren't the end of the world but with a little tweaking here it could be a 5 star library app.
Downloaded but application launches and shows the icons then.... nothing. They just sit there. I cannot get them to do anything. The options button blinks when I touch it but doesn't do anything either. Uninstalled
Galaxy SIII Just downloaded tonight. Seems good so far. Cant figure out how to delete things once they are saved though. And it doesn't put things in order if they are volumes of a series.
assez pratique à utiliser, un gros bonus avec le scan de barcode, l'affichage des couvertures (évitez de prendre des photos, y'a pas de mémoire dédiée dans l'appli pour ça, une photo et c'est fini :/) par contre, revoir la gestion "tri par nom d'auteur" car il les enregistre sous "prénom nom" donc ça trie par ordre alphabétique des prénoms, du coup. On peut aussi les ajouter par similarité de collection, auteur, etc. y'a encore du boulot à faire pour peaufiner mais ça sert bien !
Horrible grammar and spelling and ui.
Worked great for newer books but quickly learned for older books and uncommon ones it is best to manually enter the ISBN's rather then scan the bar code
It exports csv files as semicolon separated values. Excel expects commas so you'll have to import data accordingly and then reverse to put data back. Can't delete entries!
Works great, all the features I was looking for, easy to use, terrific app!

Does not export properly Tried to export to csv - completely unusable, total mess.
