Comments on Book Catalogue for Android

★★★★★ I had to download a second Barcode Scanner app. But this is a very useful tool, and it made cataloging my library very easy and convenient!

★★★★★ I love this app. I have 600+ books stored, it syncs with goo dreads and is so easy to organize. I've transferred this through about four phone upgrades, always making sure this app follows. I love the simple interface.

★★★★★ Absolutely love this app it works with the scanner on your phone and put everything into the author and then vice series it's just wonderful for a book warm, so I'm not buying duplicate of any books anymore

★★☆☆☆ Can't Scan Books. Getting a 'Knox Enrollment Error' message as soon as I select scan books tab. I have a 3-month-old Samsung Galaxy phone. This makes it useless to me. Uninstalled.

★★☆☆☆ Scans barcodes, finds book, but doesn't add book to database. Yes I have installed Barcode Scanner' by ZXing Team. Still doesn't work. Strongly object to my having to give a credit card number over for free registration.

★★☆☆☆ I just downloaded the app, and when attempting to scan books via the ISBN, it defaults to nonscanning apps. I'll have to uninstall. This is not helpful.
