Updating my review again. Originally a 4, downgraded to 1, but now back to 4. Seems only one app has unlimited image searches & it's a one-time fee of $50. While this app now charges for bundles of 100 searches when it was previously free, it's still the best mobile app I've found. Also, loss of image search is minimized by the picture and editing capabilities in the app being very good. App would get 5 stars if there was way to access libraries via website in addition to the mobile app.

Thank you for your feedback. At this time, we are unable to enhance the feature that allows users to access the library through the website due to limited financial and human resources. If possible, we will make improvements in the future.

so far so good I have a large collection and am logging them into my system quickly. 4.14.24 I still love this app I am however running into issues with the backup feature. I didn't realize till today that it isn't backing up even when I request a back up it keeps telling me the backup failed I have checked every setting and it shouldn't be failing.

We're sorry for the problem you encountered. One of common cases is: Failed to sign in your Google Drive account -> Solution: go to the "Settings" page in the app, scroll down and tap on the option "Google Drive account" to sign out. Then log on and create a backup file again. Please contact us through "lokyluck@handylibrary.com" for help. ​ ​ ​ ​

I've only had the app for maybe 5 minutes but you've already won me over! 1. THE BATCH SCANNING 😍 YAY!!! makes it so much easier 2. LIFETIME SUBSCRIPTION AT A REASONABLE PRICE?! You've got me! Love me some developers who understand a good price! an idea for a future update. I saw there's a "wishlist" feature. I wonder if it would be possible for the app to see that you have a book of a series, notice you're missing some of the series and prompt you to add the missing ones to the wishlist?
