    Great app for me to manage my personal library. Is there any way to include digital media such as Audio CD, VCD and DVDs? Also, it would be great if one can add by Library of Congress Catalog Numbers, as older books before 1970 may not have ISBNs.

    I like this app. Love the format and it's easy to use. Wondering if there is a way to interface this with my laptop. Inconsistent speeds could be my connection, so I would like to see feedback from others on speed functionality.

    Easy to use and customize for my library. I have 800+ books on 5 "bookshelves." plus with the AISN I can add my Kindle books as well. So many features, I can't praise it enough!

    This app is great. The only minor thing that would push it up to 5 stars is for worldcat API support and therefore support for ISSN as well as their huge library. Handy for those with older collections.

    On my old phone I kept backing up my books. When I got a new phone and tried to import them the app says they're not there but when I look at my sd card they are. Plus rotating images worked until I ask not to show me the pop up any more. Now it won't rotate. I have over 1600 books and now because of the import issue I have scan them all over again. It's a pain to have to redo everything from scra

    I was looking for a way to catalog all of my books and this app was exactly what I was looking for. I love how quick and easy it is to scan my books and see a list in any order I choose. Now I find myself wishing it would do one more thing, I wish it could tell me how much all of my books total are worth. Other than that, is a great app and I will be referring my friends.
