Ratings and reviews

Update: Still one of the best apps ever! Awesome app. Lets me keep track of what ebooks and books I own so I don't duplicate my thousands of purchases, make a wish list for future purchases and publishing dates, synopses allow me to remember and rate them, bookshelves to separate by different genres. Covers are also stored as thumbnails. Backed up from a Samsung Galaxy Note 2 to Galaxy S9 (thank you Best Buy!) successfully. It's the only app used on my phone besides calls and email.

I'm sorry. This used to be one of my favorite apps, but now it's so limited. I don't know why the description hasn't been updated to show that this app no longer syncs with Good Reads or other sources that allow easy book entry. I doubt this is the authors fault. All Big Tech is capricious to deal with. Though you can still enter ISBNs for most printed books, audiobook lookups don't work anymore. You have to enter them manually, a tedious process. Author, please update the description honestly.

I LOVE THIS APP. I have over 1100 books and was using another app that I liked. Then I found THIS amazing app that allows multiple authors and series, different sorts, and a lot of other functions I was struggling to work around in the old app. I can even sort my wish list by publication date! I have many old publications that don't have ISBNs, and I really like that I can search the internet and even if doesn't find the exact book, it pre-populates what I have already entered.
