Ratings and Reviews
Can not find most of my books
Great project and I am impressed by its occasional results. For some reason the app fails to find most of the books in my diverse library however. This includes books originally published originally in English, recently bought but not too recently published. Books published by Blackwell publishing house, by Marks & Spencer, Oxford University Press, AA,... None of them are found. Same issue with many books with a nice ISBN on the back translated into English and with most non-European language books, in spite of enabling their Setting. Really sad.
Manual Search never resulted in a find. Maybe most frustrating is that the user can not add an entry manually and maybe even share it so a wider audience can benefit from an updated but now much failing database.
It keeps presenting bugs - disapointing and frustrating
The history of this app is like a rollercoaster. When you think it’s finally working, something ends up going the wrong way.
I can’t find most books, so I usually add them myself, ‘til today when the app seems to not have this option anymore, and the website is in stand-by while I try to log-in.
Frustrating app with good potential though.
Developer Response ,
Hi Elisa, we are sorry you are having troubles with the app; proposing a new book has always been a website-only functionality, so it’s unclear what functionality you’re missing. Please write us at contact@anobii.com and we’ll be happy to help!
A good start
This app is good if you just want to keep track of your wishlist. The problem comes when you have a book that isn't on the database. There is no way to add it. The trouble with the database is that it's a bit random in which books have made it on. I have a number of books by the same author and only half of these are on the database even though they are published by the same company.
It would be handy to be able to log who you have loaned books to and also be able to add books onto the database.
