iBookshelf App Reviews

Had some glitches which were promptly worked on

This app might be okay if you have a small book collection but having to enter thousands of books into the database, you become all-too familiar with the many problems. This app is slow, full of glitches and extremely annoying to use with books that dont have barcodes (and sometimes equally bad even when they do). It doesnt realize that (for example) Arthur Miller is the same person as Miller, Arthur so when searching for your own books in your collection you have to look up every possible combination (and given the slowness of the app its an unappreciated inconvenience). Searching by title is not much better. The genres are pretty much useless. And you cant even delete entries, which makes no sense. I would not buy this app again nor would I recommend it to anyone.

Buyer beware! This app is insanely glitchy - the most frustrating of all is that it changes book info (author, title, cover art) when scanning or manually searching for books. Kind of defeats the purpose of the app- to keep your library organized! Very disappointed.

Although this app is considered compatible with an iPad the screen remains locked, disabling iPad rotation. As my iPad is always used with a keyboard/landscape view, I find the app impossible to use. A great idea. Needs to be tweaked before selling as iPad compatible. 2 stars for a great idea.

I have over 1600 books and it now seems to be crashing, especially when I try to email the CVS list so that I can keep a listing on my BB - when I shop for books, nice to see if they are ones Ive already read. Does a backup but not something I can use as a listing. It was invaluable and Ive talked others into using it. Hope it isnt number limited..

Like this set up way better than goodreads. Easy to keep track of your Library.

Its a pretty decent app apart from it freezing when I scan barcodes or try to take cover photos and the program quits while Im adding new books. Once these issues are fixed itll be a great app.

Freezes often when scanning barcodes and adding notes

Great way to keep track of my books and where they are.

Just lost years of book entries.

This app is disappointing. I used to use BooksApp2 until it no longer existed. I thought this app looked comparable with some cool features. I was wrong. This app was good at first, then it started glitching really bad. Mixing up pictures and titles, and doubling books in the list. Restarting the app didnt help, and you would scroll down and it would change the list with more mistakes. Ive already switched to a new app.

Has completely bombed out on me - get a black screen with the name of one book on it - lost years of entries!

Was a fantastic, until the last update. Now the barcode scan for new books will not open - only a blank screen.

There are some relatively mild glitches in the way it works (especially if youre mass entering), but they arent too insurmountable once youre used them. Ive tried countless "library" apps, and this one is by far the best. I do recommend.

Love this, have downloaded many others prior to this one and none is as good

This app started out working well enough on my iPhone 4. I wasnt able to import my library when I upgraded to an iPhone 6 and Im left with inputting my entire library again, an arduous task. I find the app is in desperate need of an update both in the appearance (terrible font choice) and stability. Whenever I add a new book to my library, other books will look as though they are duplicated and the app must be shut down and restarted. Please update, I enjoy the barcode scan feature and I paid for the full version.

Entered a title yesterday, all was fine. But on next opening of app, black screen and nothing to be done.

I have been using this app for several years to keep track of my book/Ebook collection and reading. It works very and I am very happy with it.

Look and interface absolutely need a revamp. Need more updates. Seems abandoned. I recommand looking elsewhere.

I have used this app for four years, and unfortunately had to dump it and move to another one. The interface needs to be drastically updated. It doesnt load books properly anymore, shame.
