Ratings and reviews

Like all library management apps that I've tried (and I do mean all of them) there's lots to like but there are too many limitations, poor UI design or a general clunkiness to usage that makes the app as a whole unusable. I'll stick with my Excel spreadsheet which, by the way, I can't simply import into this app. Why do we need to email a CSV file to the devs? A quite ridiculous limitation.

This is everything I want in a book cataloging app - batch scanning, multi sort (1st by author, then by series, etc.), rating, date completed, and notes. You can even add the date purchased and price purchased, or even if you've borrowed it out to someone! The only reason I've rated a 4 star and not a 5 is only because some of the scans don't pull up fully accurate information, BUT it's still so flexible and you can change any of the information that is incorrect! FANTASTIC cataloging app!

I find sticking the ability to have a collection behind a large pay wall is egregious, not only does it make the app trivial once you reach the measly amount of 30 books, but the app doesn't even tell you beforehand, I propose that the developers should just stick advertisements instead considering not a lot of people want to actually pay the subscription. On the bright side the barcode scanner is well made, and is accurate most of the time, the ui is simple, but refined, but the pay wall hurts.
