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.

I love this app for the most part. There are only 2 things I need. 1) I need to be able to delete my entire library so when I do a book purge, I can start from scratch instead of having to go through the list to delete entries. 2) I have 2 copies of one book that's part of a series. One paperback, one hardcover. The paperback was put into line in the series, but the hardcover was listed separately, and I can't fix it.

I've been using this app for years and it has easily transfered between multiple phones through exporting the library as a CSV file and uploading it into the new document. You also need to make sure that you transfer the pictures with the app assigned name or you would have to reattach those to each entry. Screenshots of a book I'm recomending has all the info anyone needs to get their own books. Great program! I also use this for collectable tracking too, really helps prevent double buys.
