Ratings and reviews

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.

Very simple & easy to use. This app has helped me immensely with keeping track of the books I've read and easy to enter info manually if my book isn't found in search. I'm glad we're able to add our own pictures for book covers. I listen more to audiobooks so I like putting audiobook in text on cover to distinguish from physical or e-books. I wish tho we could move around books after we entered read dates. sometimes I forget to put the books in order & if I mess up I have to delete then re-enter

I have been paying for and using this app for over a year. I have over 1,000 books, and it has been SO wonderful to finally have an organized record of them all--and an easy way to check if I already have a book before I buy it. I especially appreciate being able to organize my books into different "shelves" to easily track my TBR pile versus the books I've read and kept. The ability to mark books as "borrowed" is also super handy. Absolutely worth paying for, in my book.
