Sort and search your library collection with selected or custom parameters to quickly categorize or navigate your entries for quick recall.

Cette application est super pour faire l’inventaire des livres de notre bibliothèque et éviter d’acheter en double en ayant accès à notre liste n’importe où. Elle fait même une démarcation dans la liste pour les livres achetés, ce qui fait qu’on peut mettre des livres qu’on voudrait avoir et aussi pour les livres lus ce qui aide dans le choix du prochain livre à lire.

Le seul hic est que l’application vient avec certains bugs. Par exemple, quand on veut scanner quelques livres pour les ajouter, après 2-3 livres, l’application ne permet plus de scanner et on doit fermer complètement et rouvrir l’application pour avoir accès à nouveau à l’ajout de livres par scan.

Aussi, pas vraiment un hic mais ça me dérange un peu personnellement. L’application est adaptée à l’anglais. Dans l’ordre alphabétique, elle mets donc tous les lives commençant pas “le, la, les, l’ “ dans les “L”. Beaucoup de livres commencent par un déterminant et ça rend l’ordre alphabétique un peu bizarre car tellement de livres sont dans les “L”. Ca fait un peu perdre de la valeur à l’ordre alphabétique en fait.

À part ces détails, application super utile! :)

Worked great for a few days

I bought the full version but now it won’t let me add any more books and keeps telling me that I’ve reached the max entries for the trial application and need to buy the full version. But that’s the version I’m using…

Loved it until database lost

I loved this app and used it consistently. It worked great until a few weeks ago. The database with all my books listed disappeared. I emailed for help and got no reply. I can manage to find and restore an old version of my data but it’s useless. Too hard to add the books I’ve read since the recovered version. Not worth it
