Great ap but buggy. Force closes often, other bugs in book searches. Would like option to send books to Librarything.

U70%
by U####:

Can't add any books to library. Scans great though. Never got the chance to add a book. Constant 'failed to add book'. Don't load until fixed.

K70%
by K####:

As noted previously, this needs to be able to list more than just the favorites library... only average right now... could be superior.

U70%
by U####:

Great idea, and something i want, but it just doesn't work to par. Fails to add all but very popular books.

U70%
by U####:

This application is awesome. There are a few things I would add...sorting, the ability to group books and wish list. But for someone who reads all th

D70%
by D####:

Great potential, although it has some annoying bugs. E.g. force close, problems with scrolling in your private library. Additional features r apprecia

Other book scan apps can I.d. book by barcode. Not this one. Manual key in of isbn #'s. Royal pain. Not an issue w/brand new books I guess.

C70%
by C####:

Good, free. I recommend you try it! Some odd edge cases (two books under same ISBN for LotR?). Multi-scanning experience could be streamlined. Thanks!

V70%
by V####:

Half the books I enter say "not one book found, but 2" and does nothing more, at leash show me the 2 that are found and let me choose the correct one.

M70%
by M####:

Very useful. Great idea, decent implementation. Needs better Google Books integration, UI could be nicer. Sprint HTC Hero 2.1

Q70%
by Q####:

Works well scanning books has a small issue with duplicating some entries. No ability to remove a book once added. Also checks used price of books.

P70%
by P####:

Would be better if it was organized like gBooks. Favorites, reading, etc. Other then that so far a good app.

C70%
by C####:

Ok but only if my barcode scanner works (it dusnt work very often!)

L70%
by L####:

Needs a feature to let you search by typing name or author, etc. when barcode scan fails. Needs export function.

M70%
by M####:

I guess it does what it says. Don't see any point in it

L70%
by L####:

Very cool. But need a title/author search for times when you don't have the book in front of you to look up by ISBN. Also need to be able to delete.

C70%
by C####:

A very useful app. Would be good to select which Amazon site it gets prices from. I'm in England and want to use Amazon.co.uk

Good idea but wont log in

How do I delete a book???

C70%
by C####:

Great app: fast recognition, great to catalogue my library . Thank you!

E70%
by E####:

Not meant to "read" books only to "catagorize" them. Good App to have for home owner's insurance purposes should one ever need to file a claim.

C70%
by C####:

What would make this a killer app for me would be 1) search by author/title and 2) being able to add a short text,e.g. what case and shelf it's on.

P70%
by P####:

Works like it should. Those who complain just have no clue how to use it... Has helped me keep track of over 200 books in my library.

Y70%
by Y####:

Best app on my phone. now I will never come home with a book I already have again!

C70%
by C####:

Only posts/lists from Google Books-FAVORITES, would be nice to at list have option to choose categories. Also 2 turn off thumbs 2 list author/title

C70%
by C####:

I don't like this and I understand it. Sucks

L70%
by L####:

Google Books Win It allowed me to upload my entire room full of books to google books in a matter of hours, so awesome there but to had regular force closes so minus one star there. Consider using ACRA to catch the force closes that occur. Also consider making a tablet friendly layout.

M70%
by M####:

A decent app but needs a couple of minor tweaks. Please add the options to add a cover shot and a personal rating. Classing by genre would be good too

M70%
by M####:

I love the idea behind this app and I like that the developers kept it simple. Although many times when I scan an ISBN number for some of my books it says that it found multiple books. I would love to have the option to see these multiple finds but I cannot.

V70%
by V####:

Doesn't work with ICS anymore. Hangs after scanning ISBN please add the possibility to add books to other categories in Google Books!

M70%
by M####:

Not a bad app..could use more features..like reading now..already read..want to read..want to buy..etc...good basic book inventory app tho :-)

M70%
by M####:

It has books. Yuu just need 2 type in to much info

G70%
by G####:

Love it. Intend to spend days scanning and building my library. However it could be better if we can manually add books where ISBN is not available.

M70%
by M####:

It wont scan any of my books. That was the whole reason why i installed it.

M70%
by M####:

Would be 5 stars if you could delete and sort books. Needs to be more user friendly.

Limited abities.
