Sync via dropbox seized to work

The sync to dropbox takes hours/days and never complete. There is currently no way to sync data between devices. Other sync options like the cloud on your apple device is even worse.

Everything missing

All my books and data gone missing, no way to restore it, no easy support system to recover.

Syncing Functions

I find the app very good but unreliable when syncing via icloud from my iphone simply refuse to sync to my Ipad from icloud. I checked version compatibility check, deleted the app from Ipad reinstate etc nothing works as it bombs out at +- 19% and leave the Ipad witout any data

Best app ever!!

Absolutely fantastic app, meets all my needs! And for all its capabilities, the price for pro version was CHEAP! Well well worth it!

Don’t bother downloading

This is a scam app. They only allow you to scan 50 books, then charge you to add more. They literally make you pay just to scan books you ALREADY own - you’re not even buying books from them. Save your money and create your own alternative system

A must have app

Easy to use. Feature rich and not too expensive. Love the feature that helps keep track of where your books are and to whom you’ve borrowed it. Backup feature is also a nice add on. Easy to scan multiple barcodes makes adding books a breeze, and alerts to duplicate scans. Resourceful search feature for the older books in the collection. I’d highly recommend this to anyone that has more than one book, and I do whenever the subject of books come up.

Great App

Am busy capturing my small library and love the ease of use of this app. Two things I would love it to have; > be able to capture a book by typing in the ISBN number instead of Manual lookup as many earlier books do not have barcodes and I own a different edition to that on the database. > be able to import my books from other apps. Kindle and Apple Books. Even though these are digital books, they still form part of a library. Otherwise I love it. Thanks.

BookBuddy

Brilliant App for cataloging your books. Very easy scan isbn, or search on web by title, even search web for a photo, so you don’t have to actually take a picture and load. Enter all the info on the book from price purchased, to selling price. Export as a csv, and can upload to various platforms. My only issue is I wish that it would do currency conversions, and that the platform for weight and dimensions was more accessible. I give this a good 8.5/10. It’s value for money definitely, and as a seller of books I’m finding it very useful in that I can see what I paid for my book and what I intend selling it for. I use the loaned out as “sold” also the searching for your inventory is awesome.

Great app

Plain and simple, yet lets me do everything I want to. Better than all the other fancy looking apps that I end up deleting because they can't do what I want them to.
