The app is good l, but keeps on shutting down when we try to delete a book from the catalog. Please fix the issue ....

I'm just getting started but so far I really like all that it provides. Pretty easy to maneuver around, but until you get used to it, it may take some patience. I'm just trying to find the barcode scanner to use my phones' camera to scan the books, but even with what and where to find it, I have no clue. They tell me to look for the "catalog page", well, I gave not seen anything that says catalog. I've found "add books" or "import books" but thete is no barcode an either of those pages.

I'm able to scan most of my childhood books, and I love the mass tagging when I use the website. Sometimes it doesn't save my book covers on the app but overall great app.

It functions and I can add books. But I would say maybe 10% of the books I add double-scan in a weird way that causes a second (completely different) book to be added to my library. This wouldn't be as much of a problem if it weren't for the fact that deleting a book from your library totally crashes the app. Sometimes, after scanning in several more books, you can get it to delete, but it does crash 100% of the time.

Trash. Scans the isbn like 15 times and adds a bunch of different books to my catalog. Takes forever to load the catalog and when I try to delete an errant book the app crashes. Pointless, useless app
