I absolutely LOVE this app! i have a small home library over over 1300 books. I have over half scanned into this system. when I'm out shopping for more, i can easily scan the barcode, enter the ISBN #, or title of the book to see if I have it. OR do the same to see which other books in a series/collection i still need. this is definitely a book lovers dream!

This is a great app that is super helpful, but the constant prompting to backup is really obnoxious. I've done 3 manual backups today and haven't added any new books/made any changes, but it's still asking me to do one every couple minutes. It would be great if there was an option to turn off the popups.

Thank you for your feedback, and we apologize for the inconvenience. The app reminds users to back up when 15 or more books are added at once. However, unexpected errors may occur if the app version is outdated. Please check and update to the latest version. If the issue persists, please contact us at support@handylib.zendesk.com for assistance.

While the app is easy to use it could definitely use some improvements. Genres: Many of the genres listed aren't actual genres. They're themes (dogs, dinosaurs, etc) other users have listed. These would be better off used as tags. Shelves: In the settings you can re-order your shelves, but it doesn't actually re-order them in the shelves area. Pretty pointless! Summary: So many aren't for the right book or they're actually user reviews. Absolutely annoying! Auto-backup: Doesn't work

Book info is sourced from third-party services like Amazon, Goodreads, Google Books. Incorrect data may appear due to mixed databases. You can edit details to correct them. We recommend using manual backup instead of auto backup for better storage optimization. We apologize for any inconvenience you've encountered and will work to improve it.
