Home Library for Android
I recently bought this app to catalogs my massive media library. I had just finished scanning in all my blu-ray & DVDs. Havnt even had a chance to do my vhs, laserdisc, comics, books or records. I'm currently sitting at about 600 titles in my movies list & now whenever I go to add a title or look up one of my movies the app crashes. Saying "unfortunately home library has stopped working". This happens over & over, I paid for this app. Please fix & I will rate higher.
Well I got a new phone and forgot my password to long in. That being said I lost all my stuff and not happy that I got to scan all my movie and thats over 500 plus music and games that I got along with my movies. I really liked this but at the moment no since I have to do all that work over again. If that a way to get ur user name and password then maybe I'll give more stars but until then no
Had this app for a few years now, and it's definitely worse now than it was previously. It only intermittently works with the scanner, and even when it does, the chances of it turning up the correct information are minimal. Also, I checked my online backup recently, and found that none of the syncs I'd performed in the last year has actually been saved. I will now be uninstalling this app & finding ones I can depend on.
Helps me keep track of CDs and DVDs so I don't double up. Scanner works great too. Sync not working anymore. Its a pity the developer has abandoned this great app.
The feature I use in the paid version is to add books to my library. I'm not sure what changed recently, but the search function doesn't turn up anything, it is useless. Pretty sure it should've found some reference to Hamlet.
I want an ISBN search that's more accurate. It was annoying to use the scan bar function and be told that there was already a copy of the book when it was not the same book. It was a different book in a set of books but each book had a different ISBN. I want the scan function to scan for ISBN numbers as well.
This is a useful app which does what you need it to. The only negative is the sync can sometimes mess up the library so I manually save the database to Dropbox as a precaution
I use to love this app but when I changed phones, it lost all that I put in it although it said it was synced! I even paid for this stupid app. Very dissatisfied
Oh this app used to be so good but recently it's so glitchy that I'm just going to uninstalling it. I can't stand it any more. It's more inconvenient than helpful now a days.
I can't remember my username and it won't let me log in because of it. I actually don't remember having to make a username. Is the username just your email address? I contacted builder twice have not heard anything back. Anyone else have this problem?
this is horrible I have over 500 games and 700 movies I started using this and it would not link to the website then erased the items I had scanned I emailed the developer and got nothing a waste of money (wish I could get mine back)
I have this on my phone and tablet. The tablet no longer syncs. No response from vendor either...
Am not getting any help, guess you don't care. 5 days and no help. Going on 2 weeks and nothing. No help, no comtact
Great until recently. It won't find anything when I scan the barcode
No import/recovery; developer is MIA.
My tablet was synching with my phone no problem, then within the last month or so it won't synch at all. When I add new items via my phone, after trying to synch my tablet to the updated database on my phone, it still shows the previous database and not the updated one. What has happened??? Please sort this issue as I like to have a full record of my Blu-ray collection on both my phone and tablet!!
I've had the app for a couple of years, and it worked like a charm. It nicely scanned mostly everything with a UPC code. Now, it only correctly scans about 10% of things with a code because most of the time it comes up as "Null" with zero information about the item. I'm not really interested in manually entering everything in. I think I'll go find a different app.
I liked about 80% of this app. Unfortunately the last 20% wasn't enough to make me feel like this app is worth the money I gave out. The default "Null" book that keeps popping up when the isbn isn't recognised is super annoying. If I go to the scanner alone it can search for the isbn but there's no way to add it. Furthermore, it adds tags that other people have added when I finally find a match. This wouldn't be a problem except the tag I keep getting is "read". It could be awesome with some tweaking.
Bought this app and spent hours scanning tons of stuff into it. Synced it and nothing showed on the website. Went back to the phone synced again and everything deleted. Contacted support and zero reply. I was able to export my collection before it was lost but can't import it back in. Stupid to not be able to import from your own exported files.
Syncing is terrible. App is unpredictable and unintuitive. I'm stuck with 600+ items which do not sync properly. I would not recommend this.
I have had this app for a while I changed phones now it won't let me enter all of my movies. I paid to be able to include all of my movies but I guess I will find another app. Yours sucks
If you just want movies then great. Books... don't waste your money. Tried several free apps before buying this one. Other apps found my books, this one 90% don't scan. Should have tested it on both books & movies, not just movies. Buy something else.
Awsome app. Just wish I could arrange my books anyway I would like. Say for example, I have A LOT over v.c. andrews. I've been scanning them in slowly as I unpacked my book box's, so they are not in order by series. But other than that it is simply the best I have found.
Or buy a new device, loose your data, or have to actually use this app. If you do there will be no response from the developer, you'll have to re-enter your data because the info is lost everytime. It would be a great app if it actually worked.
Helps me keep track of CDs and DVDs so I don't double up. Scanner works great too. Sync not working anymore.
Latest update: Support for Android 4.4 which was released in 2013. It's now 2016 and Android is up to 6.2 with Android 7 around the corner. How about updating your app more than once every two years? I am convinced they did this update just to make it seem like the app is still being updated. Don't believe this dev, this app has not been updated in years and latest update didn't add a thing, again they just updated it to fool you into thinking it's not Abandonware. This dev has developed not working on app.
Developer used to provide great support, but seems to have just left the app coasting on its own for a couple years. Sadly, this is still one of the best home inventory apps out there. For over a year I've been planning to customize Memento database to use instead, but this has still been working well enough, and is easier than seeing up Memento. More and more bugs showing up have me thinking a long sit with Memento is coming soon. Very sad, as this was a great app.
Exactly what I needed. A few minor glitches but nothing that can't be worked around, and I'm sure they will be sorted out soon. I know this app will be at the top of my favourite most used apps. Thank you!
Two problems...I guess it doesn't search the internet for the value of each item like Apple's, "Delicious Library," does. Also, it stopped recognizing the barcodes of my books (manga). I was hoping for a really great experience with cataloging my collection of stuff, but the app is fighting me at the moment...
I've had both the free and paid versions of this app on both android and iOS. I used to never have any problems with it. But over the last year it's gotten ridiculous. Things that used to work and had been working for years suddenly no longer functioned as well or worked at all. This last issue is it for me. I'm done. I've tried repeatedly to get in touch with the developer who used to respond quickly and now just sends out a generic message. I've asked for my money back. STAY CLEAR OF THIS APP!!
It doesn't sort at all when I try to sort by authers name/last name. Titles and covers don't match. Lists the same title multiple times when it was only inputted once. And there should be a quick scroll tab so we can quickly get to the books farther down. I have about 430 titles in my library. And when trying to view it by cover is useless
I had this on my old smart phone. Backed it up online. When I got a new phone and tried to sync it (using all the correct account info) it refuses to show my collection on the new phone or update any new info online with inputs from the new phone. I have a large collection and so feel that HOURS were wasted on cataloging my collection. Very unhappy.
Comes in handy when you are at the book store and can't remember what you own. 5 stars even though there are problems that need to be fixed! The money you pay for this is less than it will be when you buy a book you already own. 12/15/2015 I love this app, but it has become increasingly difficult to use. It may be the amount of items I have in my library; however, I would love there to be more updates and fixes. 5 stars now down to 3. Disappointed.
Really liked this app at first, but then it wouldn't give me a good option for downloading my library after i changed phones and I accidentally deleted all my scanned info. Plus, was being lag-y before the switch.
This used to be a good app—imperfect, but it got the job done. Now, though, it appears to have been abandoned, and has lost ground to other similar apps.
I bought the ios version of this and I'm still wondering what happened to the barcode search here. Pretty lame that the experiences are different.
For a person with a rather large home library this was such a huge help. Now I know what I have on the shelf. When I come accross a book in a store, I don't have to call home anymore to find out if I already have the book or a very similar title. I can just check the app and all my books are listed. As a great added bonus, it also stores your movie and music titles. Excellent app!
Exactly what I needed. A few minor glitches but nothing that can't be worked around, and I'm sure they will be sorted out soon. I know this app will be at the top of my favourite most used apps. Thank you!
Added small portion of my book library 150 books and it became buggy. Cannot edit many of the entries, add cover pictures anymore it auto selects pictures from other titles in library if no picture, freezes when trying to edit information on books sometimes actually says there has been an error but often just turns screen black on my phone. Using Samsung Galaxy S4 new with an anti virus. Until fixed leaving this review for others so they wait to spend their money on a less buggy product. Works sometimes.

I rated this app 5 stars a few years ago, even bought the paid version with no regrets. Fastforward to a new phone, reload the app to find it now has a bug surrounding barcode scanning of books. No thank you. All I've been getting is a Null value. Developer used to have prompt responses to questions but has been M.I.A. on this issue. Look elsewhere until this app is fixed.
