iCollect Books: Library List

The iCollect Suite of apps for the various types of items is the best way of quickly and efficiently cataloging a large collection. I have a large library of books, music, and games and all 3 apps let me quickly create and maintain an accurate database of all my collection for ease of reference wither its on the go when shopping and I want to make sure I don’t already have a title or just to have a complete record in case of fires or other home disasters. The only thing I don’t understand is why the app insists on giving items a negative $ value by default instead of just using the listed MSRPs.

I love this app, I can take pictures of my books, organize them pretty much however I like, as well as change the organization easily. It helps me know exactly what I have, making it easy when I go book shopping what I have or need. There are a few annoying bugs in the app. Sometimes when I am putting in a new books info it changes to another book I have already put it! I don’t understand how this happens but it has occurred several times. I’m working down the list of info and them some I haven’t entered is already filled in, then I scroll to the top and see that I am now altering a previous book entry. So I have to back out without saving changes so not to alter a current entry and start over. Also when downloading the app on my tablet I see that several of my entries (originally set up on my phone) have reverted back to their original images from a chosen book entry, instead of the ones I changed them too (but only on my tablet, the images on my phone are correct) So I had to go in through my tablet and change/add the photos again. However I am enjoying the app and hoping that these small programing errors will be fixed in the future.

I loved this app! I have taken so much time to take photos of the front and back covers of all of my books, and for some reason, almost all of the back covers are now missing. Plus, when you add a back cover to a new entry, it doesn’t save it. So now all you can use is the front cover. So basically, this app is no better than any other book collector app since they only allow a front cover photo. I wrote to the developer but received no reply at all as to whether this was a known issue or if they were working on it. Now, I just found that almost all of my front covers are now missing. I have over 400 books in my collection that I photographed the front and back covers of each book, and now, almost every front & back cover is gone. This is ridiculous and poor business. I wish developers would take more pride in their work and care more for their customers. It just always seems to come down to making the money, and the hell with the rest of it.
