BookBuddy: My Library Manager for Negative User Reviews

Place à amélioration mais très bienUpdate : jai payé lapp, mais j'ai finalement downloader une autre, vraiment plus complète. J'aimerais voir certaine options qu'il y a sur l'app BookNode. Mais je préfère quand même celle ci, car l'autre app n'est pas vraiment mise à jour. Mais j'aime bien l'efficacité de BookBuddy. Il devrait y avoir l'option de rechercher parmi nos livres déjà ajouté. Disons que je veux savoir si j'ai déjà tel livre, en ce moment je dois "scroll" dans mes 150 + livres. Même classés ce n'est pas très efficace. Mais bref, à downloader et essayer pour sur.Version: 9.5.1

How to Start readingHow can I start reading? I already have a book I would like to start but don’t know how. Pls help me and send a message. Thanks.Version: 9.3.9

Best in Class for iOS, BUT...It has to be better. PROs Structure: Structure is the best this reviewer has found in library apps for iOS Design is easily navigable and logical, clean, uncluttered, very friendly Good selection of developer-created fields that can be added to book info page CONs First off, customer service: From within app Support tab takes you to static web site page describing features of one or several apps, it isn't clear, and to a Contact page with email form. No Forums. No FAQs. So, basically, invisible developers. Accessibility: Few if no accessibility options Book image offered in one size only No option to customise fields, that is, to allow users to create their own book info fields, such as: Foreword, Preface, Print Run Total, Print Run Number, Signed, etc No option to rearrange layout of book info page No option to insert user's own values to field values, for example, the default status for a new book cannot be set to be a value not included among the three offered All in all, the best available, BUT it has to be more flexible to be worth the $4.99 developer charges for unlimited-entries version..Version: 8.14.0

Missing book rating from other servicesReally wish it would pull book ratings from a third party service like goodreads, Amazon or somewhere else. This would help me rank which book I want to start reading first out of my unread pile. Otherwise, good app!.Version: 9.0.3

Good, so farI purchased the full app as based on various reviews this app will work seamlessly to keep your library catalogued and organised between all Apple devices. It has been working well on my phone so far, but I’m disappointed to find out it isn’t available on Mac despite many reviews and articles stating it is? Would love this to be updated so I can organise my shelves more easily!.Version: 9.5.1

Decent features, but unusable because of no custom listsBookBuddy seems like a decent tracker and it’s super easy to lookup books which I appreciate, BUT you can’t create custom book lists to organize your books. You can edit the name of the lists, but you can’t add your own list, the app automatically does that for you when you add another book to the app and it “detects” the genre of the book. Problem is, the app often gets that wrong and now you have to manually add the nook to the right list anyway. This makes the app unusable for me. I need to be able to create my own lists and categories for my books..Version: 9.5.2

Update won’t download.Really like this ap but the update on my iPad mini will not download. Still isn’t downloading updates. I have iOS 12. So I won’t have access to my library? I have to find another library organizer even though I paid 6.99 $ for the “pro” version?.Version: 8.14.7

So much potential and yet....I have whittled my library down as I’ve downsized my home, but still have a couple of thousand volumes that I’ve collected over some 40+ years. Guess what, most do not have a barcode. It would have been so much better if one could search/add by entering the ISBN (still not good for everything) instead of the search function that is here, especially when there are multiple editions of a title and one wants to get the correct one. For a newer collection this is probably just fine, but not for me. Update- just found the enter isbn feature which is very nice. Now how about LC or other older systems?.Version: 8.14.5

Liked it until all my books disappearedExactly. All of the sudden, all the books I added were gone. The restore/cloud option didn’t do anything. This is very frustrating since I put time to add all the books I read during the year and put notes on most of them. I was considering to upgrade to the paid version but that won’t happen still it’s clearly not reliable. Very disappointed. 😞.Version: 9.0.11

“ISBN barcode required”Grabbed the most convenient 6 books to try scanning. 4 of them flatly refuse to scan, giving the response I put in the title. There is zero identifiable difference whatsoever between the barcodes on the books. I am not sitting at my shelves manually typing hundreds of ISBN’s into my phone. EDIT: in response to the developer reply to my review, I gave it another chance. Looking at the inside of some books did indeed get me more successful scans; however, I then discovered I have a large proportion of my books that apparently entirely lack ISBNs. I can’t blame the app developers for that… but it means still having to manually input a large enough number of books to render the entire exercise not worth the trouble compared either to just typing a spreadsheet or continuing to do without any inventory at all. If you mostly have reasonably new books, you might have better luck..Version: 9.5.1

Good but can’t have more that 50 books without payingHaving to pay to have more that 50 books is ridiculous.Version: 9.4.2

Almost..but not quiteI have been using Delicious Library 3 for several years but it is no longer supported. Thus, I need a new app to manage my books, lendiing of books, and listing of the 500 books and countless other music, games, etc. I need something--now! This is a great app for the phone and iPad but it does not have a desktop version to sync with it. It has the barcode reader (needed), a way to view yur books by images or lists (needed), a way to edit the information either manually or through a sync process (needed) but it is only available for an iPhone or iPad (wonderful) but not the Mac desktop (oops! Needed but not available!)..Version: 9.3.6

TagsI downloaded this app so that I could have a visual of all my childrens books. I love that I can scroll through all of our picture books. Also it helps when I am out and can’t remember if they already have a specific book. My only complaint comes from using the tag feature. I have books that may fit multiple tags based off of themes/categories. An Example being an ocean themed alphabet book. I would tag it “phonics” and “ocean”. I was hoping this feature would help me set up their book shelves more quickly because I could type one of my tags into the search engine. In this case I would search either ocean OR alphabet depending on exactly what I wanted to put on their shelves. What is the point of “tags” if I can’t search my library for books with a specific tags..Version: 9.5.1

Helpful but not “free”I love this app and it is the most helpful one ive found so far for tracking my book collection. but the problem is you cannot add over 50 books without paying which was a pretty disappointing discovery..Version: 9.2.6

Sync problemsI wish I could give this a 5 star review. The organizational capabilities are superb. However- I’ve had this app for over a year. And the syncing problems between devices have resulted in so much wasted time and frustration- including requiring me to re scan several hundred books due to sync problems: either the sync Will not sync or it takes a very long time for it to show up- it doesn’t help if info doesn’t sync from 1 device to the other like it’s supposed to. This app really needs some kind of sign in process to store things online and easily access info from any device without constantly having to check to be sure things are “syncing “ from One device to another. Would also be nice to have compatibility with Google cloud for storage…would also be nice if info was stored on the web instead of device (or at least the option to pick either one) for people who don’t have tons of storage on their actual device..Version: 9.1.10

Seemed okayWanted an app to store all my books I own in a list, but reached the maximum for the free version, because I don’t want to pay looks like it may have to be good old pen and paper.Version: 8.12.12

No stars.It’s a hot mess. Authors sorted by first name, picks up the wrong info on books, genres, etc. if it was free, it’s still over priced!!!.Version: 8.6.3

MadGood app if it would allow an unlimited amount of books for u to add . I didn’t know this and added a bunch of books and then not even close to half way through my collection it said I couldn’t add any more . I was so mad ..Version: 8.12.10

God but has some faultsThis is a great app to log books in and reminds you who you have lenses your book to but I have about 150 books and it only lets me log 50 unless you pay for the premium package. Great app but not quite right for me..Version: 8.13.2

BookBuddyI really like the app except for a couple major issues for me. It would be nice to have the files on my PC, to be able to scan with my phone and then have them transfer to my PC. Also wish there was a sign in, don’t know if this would be efficient then using the cloud? Tried other apps that did that and it was instant and worked very well. As I am typing I can’t get my iPad to sync to get additions although I pushed the sync now. Was working earlier? I choose this app because of several other features, one being that you are able to scan multiple barcodes without having to click after each one..Version: 8.12.8

Needs improvementA generally pretty decent app but font scaling on the edit state of an entry is a mess. I checked accessibility settings and all were standard which I would have expected the developer to have tested in QA..Version: 8.6.3

EditionsFound it difficult to find or switch to specific editions/printings, so will not be using..Version: 8.12.11

Great for record keepingGreat app for keeping track of my books and their locations. Would be much better if all fields were “searchable” - like a library catalogue..Version: 9.2.6

L’outil de Recherche des livres en français est pourriL’outil de Recherche des livres en français est pourri.Version: 8.13.2

Good AppI wish you got more books for free, like 250 would be nice, instead of like 25. Other than that great personal library..Version: 8.14.7

UselessLists five books I don't have. Deleted..Version: 9.4.2

Too many bugsToo many bugs. You cannot update the book information and you cannot choose a picture in your PC as a cover. It is a.Version: 9.5.2

They put their recommendations in my book list?I’m not sure, but the app may put some books they recommend in my book list without asking. I found some unknown books in my booklist. I felt so uncomfortable to see that, hence I deleted this app..Version: 9.4.4

BarcodesWas loving this app until I realised it won’t read barcodes from price stickers. Loading lots of books is painstaking enough without removing all the price stickers (inevitably placed over the barcode) first 😬😡.Version: 8.15.8

Have to pay for more booksReally? Max 50? Thats barely two of my shelves. And i was so excited for this too..Version: 8.12.9
