Book Crawler App Reviews

156 add

Used to be great before iOS 7.

Please fix the iOS 7 version. It crashes and freezes constantly. I used to love this app. Im stuck with the app since I spent all my time scanning everything but Id really like it to work better. Ill fix this review once thats happened. Thank you.

Highly recommended!

This has to be the best app for tracking my book collection Ive found. Love that it connects to goodreads and Facebook. Great mass scan feature that allowed my to add my collection quickly. There are a few glitches, the most annoying being that custom photos of book covers are always rotated sideways. But these are minor and dont effect my enjoyment of the app.

Great app

This is a great way to track the books Ive read. So easy to go back and sort through the books in my list.

Very useful app

This app does what its designed to do - helps me keep track of the books I own, read or want to read very easily. After a few hiccups in version 5.5, its back to working well.

Search no longer working

Since the latest release the in-app search of book titles no longer works,abending the app each time you type a letter in the search box.

Great book App

I would definitely recommend this app to anyone wanting to keep an organized record of their books. Its very convenient too when youre at a bookstore and youre not sure if you already have a certain book. You just simply search your book list and dont have to worry about purchasing books you already own. The app is very easy to use also and I was very impressed with their quick and very helpful customer service. If you have books that you would like to keep track of then this is the app for you. I highly recommend it.

Awesome!

This app is amazing and allows me to do so much with my personal library. I can keep track of every book I read and at a quick glance know if I own it or not. You can list by: author, title, series, read or unread, genre, collections and so much more. I can put my own rating of each book and include personal notes to remind me of what I thought, plus know the date I read it. I can keep track of who I loaned books to or where I borrowed them from. I can tap into info about the author, other peoples reviews and get a full book summary as posted on the book jacket. There are so many impressive aspects to this app that theyre too numerous to mention and, although Ive been using it for a few years now, I know Ive barely tapped the surface of everything it offers. It truly is the best app I ever purchased and it only cost me $1.99, but worth so much more! If youre a reader, and even if you dont have your own vast library, you will find this app invaluable!

Lack of support

I purchased the app and when I noticed a problem I sent an email about it. Never heard back and never got a response. I saw that someone else had posted about the same issue on the developers forum, but that was ignored as well.

Excellent

I love this app. As an educator, I find it extremely useful to scan and organize all of my books with ease. I love all the features and it keeps getting better with each update. I also love how you can add names to loan out books. I "loan" books from my home collection to my class library, so it helps to see where my books are all at. Highly recommend the paid version of this app for the overall efficiency and convenience that make it worth the $1.99 price tag.

Great app!! Love, love, love it!

Continues to be a great app! I rave about it to all my book reading friends. Update yesterday didnt seem to be working properly but the new one today works great. Thank you! Still love this app and strongly recommend it! Thank you, once again, for a wonderful app! Your support and updates are greatly appreciated. As an avid reader, I use this app a lot and find it very handy when browsing in bookstores and libraries. Love it still! Use it daily! Strongly recommend this app for those who read a lot and like to keep track of what they have read!

Best App For Book Lovers

Love this app! It does everything it says and more. If you have a book collection, buy it! Hopefully now Ill stop buying the same book twice! :)

Good App

I think this is a good app. Like that I can use Goodreads with it. Just one thing I find annoying is that if I go to another app or to the Internet to check one something it starts all over and I have to go back to the list and find where I was. This is a small issue so would not stop me from saying yes to this app. Keep up the good work

Great book inventory

I looked at several apps to track my library and this one won out. The ISBN scanner makes entry easy (my 3yr old love to barcode books) and it is quite accurate. My favourite feature is being able to apply multiple tags to each book. I have hundreds of reference books in my theological library and being able to tag and then search lets me find the books that might be relevant to what Im working on.

Very useful app!

I like this app very much! Lets me keep track of the books I have read of an author, so that I dont double buy the same book. The one improvement I would love to see is an automatic sync of my collection between my ipad, iphone and mac book. I recommend to all book lovers!

Great app

Great app and awesome price. Well worth it! I love books and this is great to have when your in the book store just so you dont get books you already have :) The only reason I gave 4 out 5 stars is they dont have a list organizer thing for series. The have one for all your book, sort by author, gene, and collections. Nothing for series. Thats the only down side.

love it!

easy to use & i love the isbn scanner. i was able to scan in 350 books in a night. i also love that there are tons of ways to organize & search through your own collection :)

Book Crawler

Great App. I have uploaded 90% of my Genealogy Reference Books and I plan on NOT duplicating any of them again.

Some bugs plus missing functionalities

Many small ans large bugs notably in the display (I found several, sometimes its easier to close the app or go in a different section and come back in order to fix the display). Moving books from one author to another (because the app tends to create duplicates) can and will corrupt the database. Also a bug in search, where I have a book titled "La terreur verte" that I can find using the search term "verte" but not with "terreur" although it finds other books with "terreur" in the title (2). Not Terrific :-) And its difficult/imposible to track books you are looking for at the bookstore or public library since you can only search books using 1 criteria (collection, author, etc) . Thus you cannot find books by author X that you have not read, for example. It will also not show easily books belonging to the same series. I would like an option to only display the fields that I want in order to keep the display clean and more easily readable. If you have books in a Series, then I cant see a way to display the other books in the series easily. Cant click on the Series name, nor search by series name. You have to browse through a list of books sorted by series, rather... not particularly convenient. Astonishely, I initially found this was the best book-cataloging app out there for iOS, so the others were even worse. Its got potential, but is still a long way to be perfect. The app I used to have on my old Palm Tx was simpler yet more practical to use. I miss it.

Garbage!

It was a really great app before last updates. Now its just a crap! Nothing works properly, after searching app doesnt respond at all, bugs, glitches! Very disappointed...

Good app

But!!!!! I purchased the full app and now it keeps telling me have used all I can & need to purchase the full app. I wonder what is going to happen next. I have many many books & hate the thought of losing my info.
