Ratings and reviews

I was testing this as an inventory solution in a hospital setting and I was unable to get the Android version of the app to correctly decode a UDI barcode to extract the expiration date. Manually entering the barcode did not work on either desktop or Android I went and tested it on my iPad and it worked immediately.

It's perfect for maintaining a list of my books. Just scanning the ISBN add all the necessary information about the Publication, Published Date, Author's Name, Book Description. It can be sorted alphabetically or as per the latest or earliest time of addition. A pdf or an exel file can also be downloaded which is great for maintaining an ever detailed track of my books.

UPDATE: Below issue has been corrected. Some recent update has caused the email export show a pop up that says export is restricted and gives options to verify email (which does nothing when pressed) or click not now.
