iBookshelf Lite App Reviews

Cloud coding is tough. Any point in the chain can break it. These guys not only link diverse stuff, they keep it working. So you get covers, recommendations, Any hiccup and they are right out with a fix. Everyone else just sits there broken, or has less functions. They are always adding stuff. Great job.

This program is great, and works well with my large inventory of books this app has saved me a time or two of rebuying the same book over, or loosing my book when loaning it to a friend. Im definatly buying the full version when funds become avalable! The other apps claim that they are better, but this one doesnt have that load time issue of timing out, or crashing. And if it does the creator is friendly and efficent at repairing the issue quickly. I wouldnt go anywhere else!

This is a really great app because if you have a book at home you can just scan the barcode wityhout buying the book! But if you are like me I do not have wifi at my house which you need it when you scan the barcode! Over all this app is great and free and it all ready has some books on it!I would really incurage people to buy this app!!

I was looking for an application that I could use to scan my personal library with my iPhone 3. It does a pretty good job and has the fields that are important to me. The scanning works pretty good, better than some of the other applications I test drived befor purchasing the full version of this app.

Easy to use and intuitive interface. I like the app, period. Recommend it...thanks ibookshelf!

I have not been impressed with either this lite version or the paid one of this app... It continually crashes, often losing all data. It has poor search capabilities, inaccurate barcode scanning (on the paid version only since the developer is too greedy to offer that feature on his free version!), and overall poor performance and memory issues. I suggest finding other book database apps that be more stable. I found the replacement to this by Googling book database app and Fox News...

Crashes, books added come, disappear, reappear, double, suddenly end up in the wrong category until you change page then back again and when trying to delete the books that randomly double on your shelves constantly the app freezes and needs to shut down and reloaded. Also the scanner is buggy. Fix the bugs and by far my fave out of all. It is a simple and very pleasing to the eye and keeping organized so PLEASE fix the bugs. Happy I tried the free version first. Hope updates fix the prob and Ill buy this and dump the others.

Honestly, one truthful person, tell me if this really works b4 it crashes my fone please!!!!!!!!

I thought that this app would allow you to read and scan books but the creator is too noobish to do that. I suggest allowing the users to read books from this app. It crashes anytime I try to read it.

Awful

It crashes with library search. Wasting my time.

Great app! Easy to use, fast, and beyond useful! I love it!

This is a great App where I can store PDF files as well as read books!

...the number of database fields is pretty limited, nor do I see how to customize/add new fields. Wheres the Dewey/LoC cataloging? Number of pages? Co-authors? Publisher? Publication date? Copyright date? Date purchased? Price paid?

Glad to have tried the lite version first. Some bugs. When loading books manually, you cant enter the ISBN and have it search the online database and populate the rest of the fields? What does the "import data" option do then? Barcode scanning on paperback books with ISBN starting with 7 all returned the wrong book from the database search. Some books load with missing or wrong cover. "Cover Image Options>Camera/photo library" does nothing or crashes the app. Using the "Actions> Places to buy this book" lists vendors but does not hot link to the vendors website directly. I might as well search the book directly in Google or Amazon. Hope these get addressed and the app would be useful and worth purchasing. Which is a must because the ads are super annoying. I saw no "contact" link to report bugs/request features. If ISBN reader doesnt work try a different one in the settings - that helped.

The pop up ads in this lite version are so aggressive, I cant get them out of the way to even get to see the app-ensuring a fast delete and making the pay version one Ill never get, since I never had a chance to test out the lite version. The need for income understandable- the method to try and get it from the lite works solidly against ever selling the full version.

I cannot get past the ads in the app to even try the app. Theres 10 minutes of my life Ill never get back

This app just set a record for being on my iPhone shorter than any other app I have tried. I have been trying to find a book cataloging app that met my needs and thought I would try this. My mistake. Launched the app and was met with full page ad. Dismissed that and clicked on one of the sample books in the library and got the same full page ad. Dismissed it again, clicked on another sample book and yet again, got the same full page app. Deleted the app. Total time on my phone, less than a minute. Not worth the frustration to even try it.

I hope they keep working on this App as it will be great once the bugs are worked out. Import feature Author/title multiple titles for one author hangs up and doesnt have skip ability. First name, last name author search has problems.

Looking for a way to keep track of books. Downloaded free version which supposedly is a full version with some ads. Thought if I liked it, Id pay to get rid of ads. However, when I open the app, I have a huge picture of Mariah Carey staring out at me. There is no way to get rid of it. I cant say if the app would be good because nothing works. Press any button and Im directed to a survey over and over again. So far, its been useless. Dont know how it can claim to be a top app, I appear to be the first to write a review.
