My Book List - Library Manager for Negative User Reviews
✓ Ne fait pas ce qu'elle devrait faireSi j'écris le code ISBN elle le trouve mais le scan ne trouve jamais rien que ce soit anglais ou français et on nous fait payer pour cette fonction qui ne fonctionne pas, je demande un remboursement je d'installe cette application.Version: 3.97
✓ Good - for a while…Was pretty good when I downloaded a couple of months ago. Updated and now not only has it lost all of the books I’d inputted but won’t let me use at all now without upgrading for £9:99 per month. Not happening. It was decent - it wasn’t magic.Version: 10.7
✓ Doesn't workOnly had limited editions for books (tried searching Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, and the only editions that came up were American and Latin...). Basically, just doesn't do what it says it does..Version: 2.6
✓ RubbishRubbish, rubbish rubbish. Wasted time and money. Rubbish.Version: 5.97
✓ What a rip offBought the app what you get is what you would expect from a free app as you get limited features and number of books you can load. Would have been better to let you know first but they do get there money. To top it off found it would manually load a book if you couldn’t scan the bar code.Version: 5.6
✓ Very disappointed:(Very disappointed. After 3 failed free scans, I've given up. eBay scanner picked up every book I scanned immediately..Version: 3.995
✓ Could do with tweaksWhen putting books in grid 4 in a row it doesn’t save and goes back to 3 rows it would be nice to see books read separately too. Other than that it’s great.Version: 11.5
✓ BooksThis does nothing for me, I cannot separate books into series, ie book 1, book 2 etc. I cannot separate books and put them on different shelves. I purchased this app to organize my books, yet every time I want to do something there is an additional charge..Version: 5.6
✓ Good, but not amazingIn order to truly use this app, the add ons will be required. /Pros - easy to use, most titles could be located, bar code scanner a nice feature, nice to see photo of book rather than just a written list Would be nicer if: - didn't have to click "scan barcode" each time - was able to use camera to take a photo of books that couldn't be located in the system - wish it had a count of the total number of books - sorting them into categories takes a second step.Version: 3.97
✓ Unable to use functions, and it won’t allow me to contact support...I’ve had several problems trying to use the app, some because I don’t have an email set-up in it, when I try to do that, it just sends me back to the main page. Why don’t I contact their support? Because the e functions app requires I have an email set-up in it in order to do that....Version: 5.94
✓ Missing somethingI am finding the app is picking up most of the books I have entered so far. What I would like is the ability to divide the list into categories. On second thoughts, I have another issue, there is no sync button, and when I have muddled through to try syncing devices, I have lost the 20-30 books I entered today..Version: 3.995
✓ Complete ripoffIt cost $5.99 and when it downloaded it said it was a "free app" and I needed to make purchases to get it to work.Version: 5.6
✓ Tricked into subscribingUnlock all feature for free for cyber Monday deal, clicked and it’s actually a 1 week free trial then a £9.99 a month charge! That’s not a cyber Monday deal that’s a generic free trial. Deleted before I even started, good effort....Version: 7.9
✓ Total ConI upgraded and lost all my content Hundreds of books Don’t touch this rubbish.Version: 9.9
✓ Great butI love the app but I don’t see a way to sort books by the duodecimal system which would make this so much more a friendly and easier app..Version: 8.7
✓ Does not work 403 errorDoes not work 403 error.Version: 1.0
✓ DeceptiveIf it says bar code scanner in the app title then that function shouldn't be an in app purchase. Also, pretty useless unless you make all of the in app purchases. Not worth it..Version: 3.995
✓ Earlier versionI had an earlier version of this which I had upgraded by paying. Had about two hundred books on it. Then after an upgrade to a newer version I lost all my information and my account was reset. I was back to the free version with no upgrades..Version: 6.9
✓ Not worth itNotepad works better than this app. It only gives you 3 books on your list before you have to pay and then if you also want barcode scanning you have to pay again. If negative stars were available then that is what this would get..Version: 2.92
✓ Find similar feature completely non-functionalHad a lot of promise, even forked over the money for the full version so I could scan all my books. I then sat down to start seeing what all I could really do. Well, I was most excited about the “find similar books” feature, except that it couldn’t find a similar book for any of my books. I mean, seriously “no similar books found for Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets”.... you couldn’t find the other Harry Potter books???.Version: 7.9
✓ BarcodeThey don't tell you it costs .99 for every barcode scan..Version: 2.9
✓ My book listThis is a great app but could be improved. The bar code scanner refuses to work on my ipad. I would like a sort by genre if possible. Non fiction books would be most usefully sorted by subject..Version: 2.9
✓ Three Slots?I was disappointed to find that to save more than three books to this list, I would have to upgrade to a paid version. I can't see this as being better than just keeping an old fashioned list on my notes page - useless app if you have more than three books you're interested in reading..Version: 2.92
✓ Good app, has potential to be betterI am very fond of reading and decided to search for an app that would allow me to create reading lists, which lead me to this one. I enjoy it. It has been of use to me. If I may make a suggestion to the developer(s), to add multiple reading lists, as those who read different literature can curate lists according to categories. This would be very useful as it would be flexible and allow quicker access..Version: 2.92
✓ RubbishI'm really disappointed with this app. Downloaded on iPad and paid the extra to be able to save books, but then it was trying to charge me to do the same on my phone. App creator replied to my first message but none since. I now can't add any books on my phone, so it's just about useless. I'd have a more comprehensive list using the notes or a pen and paper!.Version: 2.3
✓ Avoid!!Paid £3.99 for this app and it doesn't open ... just hangs. NO STARS.Version: 5.92
✓ LackingThis app is far too basic, input an author plus a title and it will not always find the book. Input the author and the book is in the library but you are unable to add to the list. You need to give the option of an input from the user which will add a book to the list which is not in your book library. As an avid reader, I like to keep track on my computer / IPad /iPhone of what I have read and of what books I want to purchase, whether as ebooks or the old fashioned paper ones. Your concept is good but this version should be free until you get some more bells & whistles programmed in..Version: 1.2
✓ Just awfulI purchased books but now not there. All that is happen get now is ballons coming up add this and add that. They all cost and hoping I didn't accidentally buy something I do not want. Terrible app.Version: 3.995
✓ My book listSo complicated to understand the cost of what you are paying for.Version: 5.3
✓ Trying to replace BibliophiliaBibliophilia was the best app for keeping track of my books until they didn't update for ios11, and I can't find one I like NEARLY as well. I thought this might be it but some of my "saved" books show on my shelves and some just don't.Version: 5.5
✓ RunI paid for a feature within the app to get more space but my library just flew away and disappeared, really disappointed. Go for another app.Version: 5.96
✓ Useless as is, and not worth $14 to make it work properlySeriously? What a waste of time downloading as this as useless without huge expensive upgrades. ( I mean, $5 bucks each? Jeeze. ) Wish I had read reviews here first..Version: 3.991
✓ Wiped off all my books! FuriousUsed this app for years to keep record of books I’ve read. Today it’s all disappeared and I can’t get them back! So annoyed. There’s no way of contacting anyone to fix it..Version: 5.93
✓ La pire application que j'ai achetéSi vous avez de l'argent à mettre à la poubelle, c'est la bonne application pour ça, moi j'ai perdu tout prêt de 11$ pour cette merde. Regarder plutôt Itemshelf, vous ne serez pas déçu. J'ai vraiment l'impression de m'être fait voler avec cet achat.Version: 3.991
✓ Really?Only 13 books free? It’s a joke..Version: 8.4
✓ WorthlessI tried to use the “Remote Sync” function to keep my booklist on both my iPad and my iPhone. It promptly deleted the books from each. I thought I had made some kind of backup by exporting the books as a CSV file before syncing. But then when I tried to open the CSV file that the app emailed me when I shared my library, I got an error message. So it apparently can’t import files that it exports. After purchasing a great many in-app purchases, it just doesn’t work. Amazingly disappointing..Version: 5.96
✓ Can’t really try...We can’t try the app without creating an account. Plus could only try with 3 books. Should be at least 30. That’s not great. I’d simply like to give it a try before registering and paying for options. Too bad. I won’t try it..Version: 6.2
✓ Another FREE app that dollars you to death..I like supporting app developers but they have “mostly” all decided they are going to dollar all iOS users to death or charge an outrageous amount to buy an app in whole- if your even able to do so I.e EVERNOT. So I download this app to just create a want list for books. I pay a dollar after I scan in about 10 books into my library. Then after a few more books I am prompted to pay more money to add more bookshelf space. I at this point have just slightly over 10-15 books saved. The app is $10 total which because we are all using iOS no one knows until it is “WAY TOO LATE”. This has all begun to become a money trap because APPLE has designed the entire platform to be a money rating monster. That is all it does. It eats your money. And it gives very little back..Version: 6.7
✓ A rip offThis app charged me for the same add on multiple times, its a piece of junk..Version: 3.995
✓ TERRIBLE!App works well but EVERY function costs more. There are few things I hate more than buying something and then being nickelled and dimed. Costs more to add 'unlimited books' just to start with....Version: 3.991
✓ To no availThis app doesn't seem to work. I tried to enter a few books but when I submitted the author and title the answer was always ' no match found' Shame as it would be useful.Version: 1.2
✓ Only 10Only 10 free scans then you have to buy more, after you have spent money on the app. It's easy to use but you need to swap between counties to find some books.Version: 3.995
✓ Cost was triple what I expected.I purchased what I felt was a fully functional application. Once I started to run it, I had to add a module to input more than a few books.then I had to add another module in order to be able to back it up. I expect when I pay for an app the app is going to be complete. I do not expect to have to buy two additional modules to make it functional..Version: 3.995
✓ Don't workGood idea shame it don't work. Bought app for 69p put books on a first time then two days later they have disappeared. Put books in a second time and the same happened, books disappeared. Wants me to purchase again. Like I said good idea but not up to scratch sorry.Version: 1.9
✓ PoorI want this to be a good app and it could be, but there are too many bugs. It is constantly telling me that there is no internet connection when there is and sometime rebooting helps and sometimes not. Sometimes the ISBN feature will not work. Could be a great app, but poor and i paid a lot of money for all the extra features- I have a new IPad with the newest software..Version: 5.94
✓ My book ListI put one but could’ve say -1. Need to pay for everything. 1,39$ for this or that. Monthly subscription of 13.95. I think it’s foolish..Version: 8.0
✓ This App is a good startI like how this app finds the book and presents it in a book case by category. That's where my happiness ends. I would pay $2 for this. The backup and sharing is a joke, for which I'd like my money back. This function should save to a CSV file or spreadsheet on a PC. I think the backup was a last minute undelivered consideration. Plus, the pop ups don't stop, even after you've reviewed the app. Good concept, not finished yet..Version: 3.97
✓ Seems to workSo far do good, finds books fairly quickly.Version: 3.98
✓ My BooklistWhen this app updated a few days ago it wiped out two years of books that I had read and now zi can not retrieve them. May cause re purchasing titles that have all ready read. I e my completed books to the library and no longer have them. This may end up being a costly app..Version: 10.6
✓ Requires in app purchasesIn order to use the "barcode scanner" you must purchase it..Version: 3.5
✓ My Book ListEasy to use.Version: 6.7
✓ My booksWorking well. Love the scanner..Version: 3.97
✓ Horrible appI purchased it to keep track of my personal books. After scanning 20 books I had to purchase a permanent scanner. Then I had to purchase the ability to sync into a database. I have has to scan my books twice because when I used it the next day, my list wasn’t there. It’s a complete waste of money. Why should o keep having to make purchases. I will have to eat the money because this app will be deleted..Version: 5.92
✓ A Rip-Off!The free *trial* of this app that allows you to scan a limited number of barcodes to show you how everything works, worked perfectly. So, I decided to pay the $.99 for the app. THEN once I did that, I was prompted to pay another $.99 for the barcode scanner. So, I did that too. THEN when I opened the app again to scan more books, the ones I’d already scanned disappeared. It gets worse. You see a list of tabs in the settings section but the only one you can click on is the one that takes you to literally pay for every single feature the app offers, which should’ve been included in the $2 I already paid. $5 for a CSV export, and $5 for auto input of the books details, etc. This is literally a rip-off app that baits you with a perfectly working demo, but then SURPRISE nothing works unless you pay nearly $20 for all the standard features..Version: 5.96
✓ Reviewing prematurely so the app will stop nagging me to do so.I don't know if I like this app yet or not. I'm adding in the books I want to read and it keeps asking me to write a review, so I'm compelled to write this before I even have an opinion..Version: 3.5
✓ Simple and effectiveRecording a library can be a massive task but finding My Library List to be simple and effective method of doing so. Some periodic trouble with scanner not recognising titles but manual search picking these up. Would recommend to anyone just wanting a record of their titles with no interactive bells and whistles and at reasonable price..Version: 3.9
✓ The worst: crippleware.Doesn't have 90% of the features it states without in-app purchases. Don't waste your time on it..Version: 3.0
✓ Australia is left outI paid for the bar code scanner, yet it doesn't work in Australia. Now I have to manually search and add over 1,000 titles... Probably should've warned in the details prior to purchase.. Will Australia be added to the countries available?.Version: 3.98
✓ Tainted by Facebook sign-inUsing the app requires signing in to an account, and the sign-in process is tainted with Facebook code. That is unfortunately a no-go for me, for privacy reasons..Version: 7.3
✓ Not badLike many others have said, the app is good but would be better if it had a one off cost rather than all the hidden extra fees. Feels like you've been cheated into paying extra as you've already paid for the base app but can't actually do anything until you pay more. But apart from that the app works well and is very useful..Version: 3.97
✓ Book listStop asking me to review the App, this happens every time I open the App, I have already reviewed the App twice before, please fix this problem.Version: 3.9
✓ Easy to useHave to pay for scanner and more than 10 books but otherwise good. Could use a timeline function for series.Version: 3.97
✓ Complete loss of privacyTo get started you are forced to create a Facebook account. So, you are packaged and sold by Facebook which( now has all kinds of information about you. Plus being sold, you also get to pay to hand your private data to strangers. I’ll use a spreadsheet. It’s safer..Version: 8.2
✓ Bare bones without add ins $$Super difficult to search for books to add. Searched “Harry Potter “ and only found one book. Total drag to have to search one by one. Most of the useful features seem to be add ones but I didn’t like it enough to pay for more. Sorry..Version: 5.97
✓ DO NOT DOWNLOADThis app is broken. Every time I try to use it for anything other than viewing the list it locks (no scrolling) and I have to restart. Look at book details = reboot. Add a category = reboot. Change a book category = reboot. You get the idea. Have exported my books and am looking for replacement app..Version: 11.0
✓ I don’t think this is the bookshelf app for meIt kept freezing on me, for one. It said above that you didn’t need to login wit Facebook, but it gave me no choice but to login with Facebook. One thing that I think would be nice is to be able to manually rearrange the books on the shelves into the order that is comfortable for the user when adding books through Genius. The tools were confusing for me, too. I like the concept and the look of the virtual bookshelf, but I don’t think I’m going to renew my subscription..Version: 10.7
✓ Expensive with no features Doesn't live up to any expectationFrom the description I thought I could have a list of books I have read and ones I want to read but you can only have one list. Cant mark if you have read it. Nowhere to write a note if you like it or not or want to get others. Books are missing from search or only a set when you only want one. Can't manually add any. If iPhone auto corrects author first name and you x then it jumps to next line so can't add surname. Overall really disappointing. I was excited. Big expensive shame.Version: 1.0
✓ Not freeInstalled 3 books and was then asked to pay. This app is not free.Version: 2.5
✓ Why do I have to Pay extraI have purchased this App and now I am being asked to pay more for Scanning - this is rip off. I will be asking for my money back..Version: 3.991
✓ My Book ListThere should be an ability to search the data. Dave Akers Whitby, Canada.Version: 3.0
✓ My book listDoesn't work and only gives you 10 free scans. There are better apps out there for the same price.Version: 3.995
✓ Good idea but some probsGreat concept but a lot of my books aren't recognised. Have to manually insert which is fiddly. Also seems to be a bug in terms of how the books are sorted..Version: 2.92
✓ My Book ListEasy to use, seems good so far......I spoke too soon! Waste of money. Doesn't list books every time you open app. Sometimes they appear mostly they don't! Only showed up once on my iPhone and about 4 times on my iPad. Deleting app and will find something else to use. Would like my money back!.Version: 3.95
✓ DisappointingMy own fault for not reading the reviews of earlier versions when no ratings for the current version was available. This is still a very basic app with a very limited demo which does not have the barcode scanner. For what little it does with the in app purchases it is not good value for money and better alternatives are available which have far better demos. Check out iBookshelf Lite and Fantastic Library to name but two..Version: 3.5
✓ No goodI was quite happy with the free version until they deleted all my books except one. They then asked me to upgrade (at a cost of $7.99), I was coerced into it and now nothing has changed. I still only have one book in my list and not quite sure what I paid for. Be very careful if you download this App. I am now deleting it and putting it down as a learning experience.Version: 4.9
✓ VERY DisappointingWhat appeared to be an awesome app. is really just rubbish. After purchasing the app. I had to purchase no end of add ons. And to add insult to injury, after adding over 50 books, they all disappeared. Would NOT recommend this app. to anyone! No response whatsoever from designer, who asks that you get in touch if you have any problems. He must be swamped with complaints!.Version: 3.995
✓ Good idea, needs a lot of workThe search function doesn’t work. I try to search for specific books, typing in the exact title or the exact author, and they don’t show up. On top of that, I paid to unlock extra details because I was curious about the “value” of my library. They took my money but still didn’t update the value. It added a page count, but not the library value. I tried resetting my app to see if it would fix the issue, but it didn’t. Every time I click to update the value of my library, it’s asking for me to pay the extra details fee again..Version: 9.7
✓ Lost all my booksHaving spent time loading all the books I have read onto this app I have opened it today to find my list completely empty!?! To make matters worse, whilst I was in the app trying to work out what had happened, a pop up kept on asking me to upgrade and I didn’t want to but it kept appearing every few seconds. As I went to leave this app, I pressed the home key on my phone and got told I had just upgraded for £4.99. WHAT!! I was about to delete this app, not pay for an upgrade!! So annoyed and disappointed. There doesn’t appear to be any way of contacting anyone either. I strongly deter anyone from using this app as losing all the books I have read will result in me stood in libraries and book shops wandering if I have read the books in front of me without being able to consult my list 😩.Version: 5.98
✓ Pretty goodEasy to use, but only scanning about 60 per cent of books. The rest I have to add manually. Auto Dewey decimal properties would be really helpful! Thanks for a useful app :).Version: 3.995
✓ Doesn't work and can't contact the writer.Please withdraw this appThe app doesn't work. I tried emailing the author and his email address is invalid. The website is there but there is no way of contacting him. Waste of time and money unless he fixes it. A real shame as it is a great idea..Version: 1.3
✓ Rating very goodI was hoping to record manually a book that cannot be captured by the system. Otherwise very pleased so far with the program.Version: 3.97
✓ Book listBook covers came up very blurry really disappointed.Version: 2.5
✓ StoppedWill not add titles anymore, scan and recognised but nit added.Version: 8.1
✓ Could be so goodThis is the sort of app I want ..... connects to Internet so you can search to add titles .... but that's about all it can do ! Will let you save some titles & not others .... why?? Once you can see books you've added .... There's no search function, so you have to scroll through ! Would be good to have both a read & wish list ! Why the adverts ..... We've paid for this !!!! Disappointing as could be so much better with only a little more effort/thought !.Version: 1.5
✓ Run, don't walk away from this app!I purchased this app to keep track of my ever-growing book collection. It seemed like a great solution. I ordered most of the in-app purchases which was stupid on my part. In order for the app to be useful the database sync/backup in-app purchase would be essential. Here's where the problem began. In order to do this you need to authorize thru Facebook. I tried to do this repeatedly but the process went into an endless loop and wasn't able to be completed. There was supposed to be an alternate way to set-up the sync if you didn't want to or couldn't use Facebook but in actual practice this was never offered to me. I sent the author two emails and made one phone call to explain my problem without any response. Save your money and stay away from this program..Version: 5.91
✓ StraightforwardThe app is simple and intuitive. It doesn’t have many bells and whistles but just enough to keep track of your reading. There are a few bugs but not enough to keep me from using it..Version: 5.97
✓ Landscape modeI do not see this supported in any way. Not logical not to have landscape..Version: 5.3
✓ Terrible!!Have intermittently used this app for several years and have been an exercise in frustration. Books searched for then add to my list do not appear on my list in author category even if set up to list by author. AND don’t accidentally touch Add-on as you’ll get billed! This has happened several times. Fed up! Just going to use excel and create my own list. Creator never responds..Version: 6.4
✓ Would have had great potentialThis app seemed to be exactly what I was after- Stylish- quick and easy. However, after waiting for a long, long time for the update to be able to add books manually, I am now deleting this waste of money and purchasing another that I can actually use. Maybe Apple should think about giving refunds from purchases that do not live up to their standard. Sorry to say this mate, but I have waited long enough..Version: 3.95
✓ So far so goodNot bad. Have some trouble scanning barcodes, they say invalid. Would like to be able to add books manually which don't show up in search..Version: 3.97
✓ DisappointedI thought this had potential But you can only add 3 books then you need to log in on Facebook . Very sad ..Version: 3.97
✓ Needs some work.For a paid app, it is extremely annoying to be asked if I want to link it to my Facebook ( nonsense) or if I want a back up of my book list. Every single time I use this app I have to click, no, no, hell no. Is it too much task for a decent settings buttons that let me do the linking to Facebook, and back ups if I want to. If I don't ( clearly, I don't), can't I just be left alone? Feels spammy. Ok, you got your review. At least one less question to pop up every single time I open this app..Version: 3.97
✓ Not transparent - useless toolsApp seems to work ok as scanner but every time one tries to do something it asks for more money! Despite saying unlimited use has been purchased. Every book match included ‘game of thrones’ and ‘Harry Potter books’ including matches to medical books and The Bible! Complete waste of time and money..Version: 9.4
✓ Goodreads is WAY betterI got this thinking it would help me keep track as the books in Kindle are over 38,000 and bought the unlimited and the sync and guess what! It won’t bring over all the books! It marks them all as read and then keeps trying to charge me more. It only brought over 200! Waste of money. Good lesson of buyer beware! I am going back to Goodreads!.Version: 7.1
✓ Too expensiveThis app is too expensive for what it gives you. It's nice I can have all my books here but don't like the fees involved. Also wish you could choose to archive books read so it’s easier to see what you want to read..Version: 6.7
✓ Regret buying the app!I regret buying this app. The app description does not say anything about the limited scans. After buying the app you realize you will have to purchase add-ons to use the app. Not worth the money!.Version: 3.995
✓ My Book ListAt first seemed to work like a charm. Added two books via barcode. Then needed to add more via ISBN. This did not work on first try. Then could not get back from Search screen to List view. Puzzled. Decided to give up. Easier with pen and paper and my computer? I subscribed to all the options. Then found it was not working well..Version: 7.2
