Ratings and reviews

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.

This has been my favorite app for cataloging my personal library for years, until last year. All of my thumbnails were lost, and I have over 500 books, so going to take a long time to get back. Okay, I can deal with that. However, my biggest issue is that now all the book information no longer enters automatically. I have to choose the book format, series, and book #. I am now having to start looking for a new app and stop recommending this one. Very sad and disappointed.
