Ratings and reviews

I recommend the app but there are a few niggles. On the book view page it says "Page number:" whereas it should say "Number of pages:". Also where it says the price it should have the currency symbol before the amount, not after i.e. $9.99 rather than 9.99$. Also I would suggest having an option to exclude "A" and "The" when sorting book titles e.g. "A Man For All Seasons" would be sorted under M rather than A. Finally add a feature to auto crop and straighten when photographing covers.

Very handy! The premium version is a bit expensive, but I like this app a lot compared to other options, even if those ones are free. Some additional customization like changing the headers (Lend/Borrow & Tags), better genre control, and specifying currency instead of only the currency symbol would be very welcome. Overall I may recommend other options to others due to the cost of the app and becauae I like having very fine control of data more than the average person. But still a great app.

I got excited about this. Simple layout you can name shelves, batch scan, choose covers. BUT then hit the 100cover searches only, if I'd known I'd not have hit 'more' you pay monthly to scan for limited amount, often without finding vover matches anyway! AND only store 100 books free. I'd added 88 before learning this. Like the app enough to buy BUT it doesn't show series order, I've filtered by published year and got a jumble. 2012 was NOT between 2014 and 2016!
