so far so good I have a large collection and am logging them into my system quickly. 4.14.24 I still love this app I am however running into issues with the backup feature. I didn't realize till today that it isn't backing up even when I request a back up it keeps telling me the backup failed I have checked every setting and it shouldn't be failing.

We're sorry for the problem you encountered. One of common cases is: Failed to sign in your Google Drive account -> Solution: go to the "Settings" page in the app, scroll down and tap on the option "Google Drive account" to sign out. Then log on and create a backup file again. Please contact us through "lokyluck@handylibrary.com" for help. ​ ​ ​ ​

App is not upfront about the 100 book limit forcing you to pay for the app if you want to go over, the main home page and google play page make no mention of this that I could find. The upgrade page also mentions that you'll get charged once you go over 100 google image searches within the app. Not comfortable with paying for phone software if I cannot even trust it to be DRM Free (Android OS seems very unfriendly to the user, I see no way of manually backing up any of my programs).

Trial: Add up to 100 books. Premium: Unlimited for a lifetime. Ideal for prolonged use. The app is designed for personal use, so manual backup is needed for personal use when changing phones. Payment for Google cover search, not the app. The app offers 100 times for searching covers online.

This looks like a great way to create a listing of a large personal library that I want to sell after retirement. The only complaint I have is that only a few ISBNs show up in Excel spreadsheet export, even though the ISBNs are there in the book listing on my phone. The rest of the spreadsheet seems to be appropriately populated.
