Love the new look. Support for eBooks and a dedicated wishlist feature would be great. Love the app.

I love this app for the most part. There are only 2 things I need. 1) I need to be able to delete my entire library so when I do a book purge, I can start from scratch instead of having to go through the list to delete entries. 2) I have 2 copies of one book that's part of a series. One paperback, one hardcover. The paperback was put into line in the series, but the hardcover was listed separately, and I can't fix it.

This has been my favorite app for cataloging my personal library for years, until last year. All of my thumbnails were lost, and I have over 500 books, so going to take a long time to get back. Okay, I can deal with that. However, my biggest issue is that now all the book information no longer enters automatically. I have to choose the book format, series, and book #. I am now having to start looking for a new app and stop recommending this one. Very sad and disappointed.

Bad upgrade! All covers are gone!! I've loved and used this app for years. My books, covers and even my photos of old book covers have transferred from old phones twice, no problem. Until this last update! Now the covers on all 877 books are gone!! Books from 1970- Feb 2023. The app says to input old memory and I have! Still no images. Why? And why can't it just connect to book-cataloge, Google books or the other one it searches when you add a new book to get the covers?
