Useful & Convenient

Monteign

Overall handy app. I don't need a lot of bells and whistles. App comes in handy for checking inventory, lending and making wish list.

Great App

Such any easy app for both tracking my wish list and my current library; bar code scan is great

I have used iBookshelf for years and have found it to be the best such system available--that is, until I added the latest update. It is a total mess now. The many problems include such things as: the ISBN scan rarely works, the iPad keyboard covers up the entry screen, and when I go into my photo gallery to add a cover only a truncated screen remains. Overall, it has become so much of a nuisance to use the system that I'm not willing to waste time on it. When I went to the app support website to look for information, it was such a hodgepodge of information for combined apps that I could not discover where to ask for help. So is this a review or a slam? If they fix the problems that have resulted from the update I will return to loving it. Until then, it takes more time to use it than I have to give. Please, please, correct the problems, or let me go back to he earlier version.

Plagued with bugs and just doesn't work in places

I just wanted an app to put my books in a database. Entering with the barcode scanner works 75% of the time but on older books with no barcodes the title/author search doesn't work at all. The cover might come up different as well and the look up cover function never shows any results. This app should be free for the amount of bugs and hassle

If It Ain't Broke Don't Fix It

This was an outstanding app until you had to 'fix' it. It does not work as it did and that was pretty darn good. Now, it is garbage! What is this love affair with 'Bucher' on the author line? The 'Title - Author Search' finds the book and the CORRECT author and a cover photo; however, when saved, 'Bucher' appears dropping this app like a bad habit!as the author. In some cases, the saved file shows 'unavailable' for the cover art; yet, there it was before the import. Also, the import can't find books that it should find if the app is going to be of any value, which, at present, it is not. Bottom line, your meddling turned a very good and useful app into a frustrating and nearly useless database. I'm currently searching the App Store for a replacement because I'm dropping this app like a bad habit. Enough is enough.

Great, but...

I am a teacher and this is really great. So helpful to keep track of my library. However, it can be glitchy and the scanner is not reliable.. Using manual entry is ok just much more time consuming. Overall good just needs some adjusting.

Totally Broken

Used to work in iPad version. Now it doesn't work at all. Can scroll thru book covers, but cannot bring up the main screen or menu, and so cannot enter any new data. Has become worthless and should be withdrawn.

Can't manually load books

I've been using this app for several years without too many issues. However, I can't manually add books by name or author. Please fix.

Bugs, bugs & more bugs

I'm so sad..
