World’s first location-aware app helps you share and discuss books with others near you. Powered by OCLC WorldCat ®, locate books and know their availability at a selected library. Sort and search your library collection with selected or custom parameters to quickly categorize or navigate your entries for quick recall.

Great App, some concerns

Very happy over several years until recently .. “I can no longer edit my notes. Only a blank field appears as if this was the 1st time I was making an entry. I don’t want to lose my original notes” I raised a support enquiry a week ago but have heard nothing. Editing Author Notes wipes your original notes

Brilliant app with sudden problem

After years of working perfectly (over 2,400 books catalogued exactly as I want them, arranged in collections etc.) suddenly a serious problem. I run it separately on my iPhone and my iPad. It still works fine on my iPhone. But on my iPad in the home Books page now when I click in Filter to change the Collection, the Collection list comes up blank The same thing happens with the Tag Collections. I can still see the entire list under Title or Author etc but no Collection categories. I've shut down and reloaded the app, I've uninstalled and reinstalled the app and restored the database. Nothing works. iPad Pro version iPadOS 15.1

Perfect

I have been using this app for a number of years, and am a beta tester. The app is currently testing cloud back up and support. The first few tests showed a number of problems, but these have now been addressed and the app is working extremely well. In my opinion it’s the best on the market, and I have tried a lot of them
