Its pretty easy to use. My only problems with it are that you have to pay for anything over 100 books, & I was trying to organize my bookshelves by genre and thought an app might help me do it faster but the genres in this app are.... oddly... specific in some cases, and sometimes just seemingly made up in others. it assigns them a genre based on whoever entered it previously. you can go back in and reset it to whatever genre you prefer it say after the fact, which I guess works, but its tedious

Thank you for your feedback! The free version of the app is limited to 100 books, but you can add unlimited books for life by upgrading to Premium with a one-time payment. Book details, including genres, are retrieved from third-party sources such as Amazon, Google Books,Goodreads. We’re sorry for the inconvenience and appreciate your understand...

I love this app! I had some trouble transferring my premium account to a new device, and the problem was quickly resolved by possibly the best customer service agents ever. The app itself is perfect for my needs as a reading journal. It's easy to scan a book to instantly load basic information, and then I use the Notes field to write my thoughts. I especially like that my data can be exported into a spreadsheet, in case I want access to it without the app.

Totally meets my needs! you can pay a one time fee of $12ish if you want to do more than 100 books. I wanted to catalog and categorize our collection of around 300 beautiful picture books. I can tag a group of them for example with #insect and then to further sort tag certain of those with: #honeybees or #butterflies. Only complaint is that if you'te batch scanning, there needs to be a different noise that alerts you when a book isn't recognized. I didn't always notice the little message pop up

Thank you so much for your thoughtful feedback! We're glad to hear the app meets your needs and that you're enjoying the tagging and categorization features. Your suggestion about having a distinct sound when a book isn't recognized during batch scanning is very helpful. We’ve noted it for future improvement.
