Great app for keeping track of large library – My Library Review

I have been using this app for possibly 6 years now (started with my 3GS). I have just under 3k books entered and it’s great! There have been a few hiccups along the way pertaining to iOS updates mainly. (Cover flow I miss you!) The apps search function works better if your phone is not in low power mode FYI. Sometimes I have to close the app and reopen it if I have been adding books for a while. One of the hidden gems is the ability to add items to collections. I like that you can customize genre and series and add storage locations to each item. Overall this has been the best and longest lasting solution I have found. I’ve read some of the complaints and felt like I could address some. The export and backup functions are buried in the utilities menu. They work well for me. There is no desktop version advertised but rather a built in web server in the app so you can connect to your app from a desktop browser. The cover and detail errors that occur from time to time when entering by barcode scan are due to the internet databases being accessed rather than the fault of the author. If you get the wrong book, I find that scanning it again or manually entering the isbn can fix it sometimes. Else you just have to fix that entry manually.
