I have used iBookshelf for several years and have a very large book database. Over time I have had problems but unlike many other apps, my questions about iBookshelf have been responded to quickly and have been resolved. It's a wonderful app with great support.
how about a new update
mobo69
one that will fix the duplication of books and having to reboot the app to get them off. one that stops giving me a blank book after saving a new book. so many more but who has time to write a book. oy and don't get me started with the handy popup tips every time i open the app. already read them all a few time and can't find a way to disable them. maybe deleting the app will help
Update - wasted

Ok, I waited for weeks for the update to correct all the problems. When I select the book and author I choose it comes back with: 1) still keeps changing author to Bucher 2) still keeps changing the title to another book 3)sometimes the title comes back in a foreign language AND still have to type authors first, last I have reset shut down and nothing corrects. I think they forgot to do the update!!!
Doesn't Work

I spent 2 hours scanning/loading 20 books. It said it was searching 15 databases, but still it couldn't 'find' title/information on VERY common books. I could have researched and hand-written a database quicker. It never did 'find' 10 books.
Great Program

I was looking for an app to hold all of my book titles. It was a toss up btw this app and another (wish I could remember the other). I liked them both and honestly the other better for one reason and it was layout of screen. This app won because of the search engines nine out of ten times you scan a barcode and it finds your book. I got use to the layout of this app and very happy with it. One other thing deleting is not friendly and maybe it should be that way but I also have to remember how to delete instead of sliding or pressing on an icon. Hope this review is helpful.
Doesn't deal well with new books

I like the many features of this app but when I input a new book it can't find any info, which is the point of saving books I want to read.
Great for keeping track

I can't always remember which books I have already read and this app is great for that. The barcode scan works great and 99% of the time it finds the book. Manually entering a new book, which I have to do for ebooks, is ok except it never finds the cover anymore. It used to find the cover a lot but in this new version it never finds a cover when searching by title and author. I have to choose the camera option and use my iPhone to take a picture of my iPad screen with the cover - first page of the ebook. That works ok but I wish the search by title author would get fixed.
Great app

This app is my absolute favorite! I've been searching for a way to catalog and organize my library and no program I tried has done as well as this app! I would love to see it sorted my series but that is minor compared to the awesomness that this app already has! Keep up the good work!
App not as pictured

I'm not sure what's up. The app doesn't look the same as pictures. When I went to YouTube video for help it definitely didn't look like the same app. Importing results in nothing but error messages or crashes. It's way to simplistic for all the features it advertises. It doesn't find any cover art for manually added books. It doesn't find any books at all if I try and do searches from title or author. I wish I'd tried the lite version first, I definitely wouldn't have paid for this.
Love this App!

Mostly, I've had no problems with this app since I've installed it. Being the bookworm I am, I've always kept a log of the books I've read...and now I have a fun and easy data base to store it in!
