iBookshelf App Reviews

I like this all. Easy to use. I needs to be updated. It is lagging behind.

Only good if you live in the USA. Typical greedy Americans, not sharing their goodies with the rest of us.

I was looking for book database and I find this app. Very good but I would like to have export to Excel or to Numbers.

Do not waste your $!!! Buggy and will not save most of my scans! Poorly designed process for scanning/saving. Avoid this app and the headache!!!

This app was awesome before I updated to the latest iOS for my iPad. Please update the app for the latest iOS. It crashes and gets stuck in loops. The only way to correct the loop is to close the app and restart. But, I loved the app before updating my iPad!

The scan function doesnt work half the time. It shows a totally different book than what I just scanned--A book I dont even own! Manual entry isnt much better because it doesnt give a complete list of the authors books when you search by author. Plus they arent organized in any way, alphabetically nor chronologically. I hope Im making sense, its hard to think being this frustrated! Im so upset I stopped in the middle of trying to scan to write this review! Dear author of app, please fix this.

I was excited about this app because you can make your own categories and organize your books how you choose. But it has a lot of bugs that need to be worked out. After scanning, sometimes books would show up multiple time or not at all. And pages would often freeze and the app would refuse to work at all. It did have the most reliable scanner compared to similar apps. Overall, better than many apps, but not there yet.

Buggy, unstable, inconsistent, does NOT work in landscape mode, wont actually add the books you scan (says it does but they are nowhere to be found), emails a backup but wont add the books into this or any other app. Will not put any more books on here (not that I can). Cant afford to be uncertain about what will happen to them.

This app has improved since I first rated it. Runs soothly, and easier entry for old (no ISBN) books

I have been very pleased with this app. I have been enabled to catalogue my book collection. There are a few bugs but overall I have been able to find all my books. It would be great if you could sort by the series name and the series order. I feel sure that is coming.

I just downloaded the app and so far I love it. I have tried a couple other library apps but this is by far the best but I did have one problem I wish I could sync my library with my iPad when add something to my library iPhone I think that would make this app that much better and I would be willing to pay extra to make it happen since I do interchange usage of my phone and iPad

I collect cookbooks and its hard to keep track of which ones I already own and those on my wish list. This app is great for sorting.

This used to be good. I have had it for several years, but lately all I see is a black screen with the title of the first book entry. I spent a lot of time entering my collection. Very disappointing.

I needed something to catalog all the books that I have which by last count was around 700. I wanted something to look at when I was out at estate sales and book fairs to make sure I wast duplicating this app does a fine job of that. I also appreciate that it allows you several ways to categorize your collection. Entry of a book into the system is pretty simple. In my case I have a lot of books that are pre bar code and though it takes a little longer it is still pretty simple. They seem to have fixed several of the bugs I encountered when I first bought the app. Overall it does a great job for me and at its low price if it saves me buying one duplicate it has paid for itself.

It isnt clear whether in the future I would be able to enter a backup csv file directly from an email attachment. When you type or edit a book title, theres no display of what youre typing until you hit "done." The vast majority of my books require manual input and have no cover illustrations available. The cover photos which appear in the carousel view are all very low resolution, even if you take the photo yourself. The carousel view is annoying and easily takes over the screen while youre trying to scan. There are no publisher or date fields. Some options are cryptically labeled. Considering the obstacles to trying to add cover art, Apple Numbers would work far better and would be automatically backed up.

I am not happy. After upgrading my iPad to 8.2 I can no longer pull up my library of books.it pulls it up for about two seconds and then goes to a blank gray screen. I spent a lot of time loading all this information now I cannot access it.

For the most part, this app is pretty dope but it crashes more than average.

I found the ISBN barcode scan and excel export very useful

App has atrocious usability problems. Im dumping it.

Tried to use this app to catalog a Boy Scout Merit Badge Book library for my troop. The app falls a little short of my needs. Would like to alter or add names and input for the various fields, enter email addresses, and send out electronic reminders from the app. Please consider making these changes please.
