Latest reviews of Bibliophilia LT - Archive your library app for iPhone and iPad
I have added 2 books and i am giving up. It crashes everytime i try to add a new book.
I have a document 25 pages long, of books I have read and its getting very difficult to manage. I hunted for days for something I could use to easily convert my document to a better book list. I downloaded this lite version and in less time that it takes me to check my list to see if I have already read a book Im thinking of buying, I was able to import 13 books into this program with more than enough info for my needs. I LOVE it. And right after I finish this review Im off to purchase the full version! Thank-you for a great app, well designed, and easy to use and I HAD to have an export to PDF program so thanks for that!
So far so good. Been waiting for an app to organize the thousands of books I have! The scan feature works great!
Scanner function occasionally works, but not for older books (older being more than three years). Occasionally scans something and comes up with, "No information for this ISBN number", but pops up info when you enter the ISBN number manually. Really wanted this to work as advertised. It really doesnt. I will not upgrade to the full version.
