Bookcrawler app

Jskowno on

South Africa

This is a useful app with one very big drawback. It doesn’t automatically save to iCloud. So when I replaced my phone battery a while ago all my books (hundreds of them) were lost. I didn’t feel like starting again but there is no other app which has other features I like. ( connection to goodreads, ISBN scan, and others. I see that one is reminded to back up and save to Dropbox which is not easy. They should fix this problem.

Very good app

Gamt00s on

South Africa

Works well with my large library but how can I stop it overwriting fields, manually entered for very old books, substituting data from modern reprints? Also the author "role" field, I later decided to include, just does not appear? No response to query now suddenly library disappeared?

If you love books, get it!

In my top ten apps. So useful, so easy to use, so fun, and super backup from Jaime Stokes. Thanks for a great app!

Great app

Love this app! Keeps track of books I own. So no more buying books I already own!

Was great till it wasn’t

Nightliferogue on

United States

I had this app for five years and then just two days ago I went to look at it while shopping for books and my entire database was gone. I emailed the creators and got no response. I’m now in the process of starting to rescan hundreds of books in another app. You get what you pay for I guess. Don’t trust this one.

Needs updates

United States

Been using it a long time, paid for the unlimited feature but it has many bugs and looks antiquated. I wish it would have a nice overhaul, even if I need to pay again.

Ideal

All the features needed to catalog your personal librsry

Good for managing a large home library

AbbyJD on

United States

We have a few thousand books I’ve been wanting to catalog and organize for some time. This is the best app I’ve found to centralize information in an easily searchable format. Once I got over 100 books though it seemed to struggle. Some stability issues and issues with a smooth cloud merge.

How do I delete a book ?

Needs an update

JTtheGirl on

United States

I’m trying to input all my books. I keep having to close the app after 2-5 inputs. More often 2. 277 so far, three shelves to go and I should have been done a week ago. I bought this years ago after trying the free version and probably a couple others. I liked it. I lost all my data in numerous phone changes. Nbd.
