iCollect Books: ISBN Database

Does not recognize russian or french ISBN, useless.

Muy básica

As of 7/19/24, the max allowed of books scanned in for free is 30. This is ridiculous, as anybody who is scanning ISBN’s to add to a list has a large quantity of books

I love this app, I can take pictures of my books, organize them pretty much however I like, as well as change the organization easily. It helps me know exactly what I have, making it easy when I go book shopping what I have or need. There are a few annoying bugs in the app. Sometimes when I am putting in a new books info it changes to another book I have already put it! I don’t understand how this happens but it has occurred several times. I’m working down the list of info and them some I haven’t entered is already filled in, then I scroll to the top and see that I am now altering a previous book entry. So I have to back out without saving changes so not to alter a current entry and start over. Also when downloading the app on my tablet I see that several of my entries (originally set up on my phone) have reverted back to their original images from a chosen book entry, instead of the ones I changed them too (but only on my tablet, the images on my phone are correct) So I had to go in through my tablet and change/add the photos again. However I am enjoying the app and hoping that these small programing errors will be fixed in the future.

The app is easy to use and has settings to set how you want your list to show. The app, only allows you to add 30 books. Once you’ve added 30 you’ll need to pay. It’s a little more than I was looking to pay, but over all is a nice app.

This app does exactly what it says for books, really very pleased with it and feel confident my book collection is recorded properly. Love it!

$30 to have more than 50. $30. Insane.

You can add 30 books for free, after that you ha to lay 30 bucks?

I love that I was able to catolog all my books using this app! I am always buying books I already own, or getting confused about which books in a series I still need, and this has really helped. I also love that I now know how many books I own (465!). I don’t use this app to review books or rate them; I do all of that on Goodreads. As someone only using it to catalog my collection, I think it’s pretty great! There are SO many ways to adjust the search or view filters (it can be a little overwhelming sometimes even!) and I love that you can customize each entry. A few suggestions that I would love to see: -Create a toggle option to mark a book as ‘read’ or ‘not read’. I’d really love to be able to sort my collection to show how many of the books are read vs not read. -The app is very particular; it is case sensitive regarding spacing and capitalization, and won’t search anything spelled incorrectly, so sometimes that can be frustrating. When I scan books from the same series they are often not grouped together because while all of the books have the correct name of the series listed, different books will have different words capitalized or there might be extra spacing included. Often in this situation even fixing those errors doesn’t work and I have to copy and paste the EXACT text to each book to ensure they are all listed under the same series. In terms of searching, it can be frustrating if you spell it wrong or you don’t remember the correct spelling because it won’t bring up any suggestions if you don’t type it EXACTLY how it was entered into the system. Not sure if there is a fix for that or not! -Regarding the search bar, I really wish there was an option to remove the filter when searching. I want to be able to treat it like a general search so if I type in an authors name I don’t have to worry about changing the filter to ‘searching by: author’ before I search it. I like that I CAN filter like this, but it’d be nice to have a default where there is no filter at all. -Mass editing! I would love to be able to select more than one book and edit them all. Then I could easily make sure they all have the same series name, or could mark them all as ‘read’ or ‘not read’ (if that gets added). -I think you should be able to reset your password through any of the iCollect apps, not just through the iCollect Everything website. I did not know that your login info is the same across ALL the iCollect apps, which is how you can sync your data from all of the
