Ratings and reviews

Great app for keeping track of your books. I have a large library, so this app has become an essential part of managing my collection. I paid for the full version, and I'm very happy with it. One star for continually nagging me to leave a review. Edit: Fair enough, SquidBit. Somehow never found that option in my initial digging. Back to 5 stars. That being said, since you clearly understand that it's annoying, maybe you should reconsider doing it? I can't imagine it leads to positive feedback.

The app serves its purpose, which is to keep track of my physical collection of books. The ads can be a bit invasive when doing searches, and some features are locked behind a paywall, but nothing that is is mandatory. I've used the app for several years and nothing sticks out as needing to be changed except for how long it takes some books to appear in the catalogue (like exclusive versions) but that's a minor grievance. It's a very solid app, don't think you can go wrong with it.

Just got blindsided by the paywall. I updated my phone, so I backed up my library for the big transfer only to find out they limit imports over 100 books to PRO. I would rather scan my books all over than give them a dime after this. Sadly, the app works well, although the scans give some wild genre and description tags that don't work great on other platforms. Definitely going to look for other options, perhaps a private catalog within something like Obsidian.
