Ratings and reviews

Batch scanning is good but you have to exit and go back in sometimes to reset the scanner. I think i got to 26 books before it wouldn't read anything so I had to refresh. I spent 2 hours scanning and adding. I was very happy but on the last batch I scanned and tried to save the app threw it out (discarded) and then prompted me to create a backup of what I had logged. Edit 10/13/24 Turns out the free version only allows 100 books 😅 that's why it wouldn't save.

This app is not good if you have more than 100 books and don't wanna pay for premium. (Probably was hoping for too much and didn't do enough research on my end.) The organization is good, and easy to use. If you have older books though, sometimes the scan doesn't work to get the correct book so you have to manually enter the ISBN, which is fine, just a little annoying.

So all of a sudden I have to know how many pages I've read for some reason. This app easily compiles a visual library based off your scans and so far did a test run of 39 books and found a glitch pretty sure one of the Isbn#'s was recycled from a previous book or listed wrong. I'm trying out the free version maybe I will get the paid version of it if I can figure one thing out. There are options for everything but completed page count as a number it shows as a percentage only.
