Barecode Scan / Book search

the application is bad and not working as advertised- Neither barcode scan, nor ISBN manaual input is finding a book. Please update this app!

Great

I have always wanted to track my books cause I have tons of them the only thing missing so far is a drama genre

Boo

This is the worst app ever I had no clue what to do its so confusing

Newest update will crash your app

Downloaded newest update, now the app will not even open. Thought this was 4.0 tested guys!

What about audio books?

Id like to see the added option to catagorize audio books, the closest is ebooks. Making my own catagories would be a huge benefit, lile for psychology or specific subjects. I have added 880 books. I bought the scanner ($2.99) to add my other books. I really LOVE this app!

Crashed and lost all data

After entering 100s of books (very time consuming) the program crashed & lost all data.

Not worth it

The layout was nice, but it only found 10% of my books. Even if it found them I had to enter all the info myself.

App rating

Excellent App!

Was loving it, useless now

Before the last 3 update it was awesome. Now everytime i add a foreign book ( like japanese or french) the app crash. It so frustating. I can add only 10% of my collection so its useless. Make ot work like before and ill change for 5*

Outstanding

This is my 3rd app from Hooked in Motion and I am really pleased with it. The ease of use is wonderful. Thank you guys for your hard work to make my work easy.

Great App for the Money

Great App, just scanned 127 books got most in by camera scan. A few older books worked great with manual ISBN entry. To get the cover image I used Google image search or the camera, both worked 4 starts only: because it crashed a few times mostly when I tried to get the cover image through google search. I also would like to add categories, hope that will be something for the next update. It would be great if you could download the sync data from the web into a excel spreadsheet to print or print from the web.

Falls short of expectations

I was excited about the integration this had with Mac and web but after trying 10 books it found 4 successfully. With 100s of books in library thats not good percentage. Lookups gives completely different books most of the time even with ISBN.

Large database; easy to use

Very easy to use interface, and useful for book collectors. Plenty of options for customizing the info in your book collections.

Review

Works great really helps me keep track of my library and what books I already own. Wish it had more categories for types of books though.

great!

I really like this app. I can finally look at my books while buying new ones !!! only problem is it keeps crashing when Im typing in authors names.

This app is no longer supported by the company

I purchased this app some time ago and recently noticed that the pop-ups in the iPhone 5 were not working to be able to sync my collection or enter an ISBN manually. When I reported it to the company Hooked in Motion, they stated that they had merged with Sort It and the iCollect products were no longer supported. They will not honour the pro purchase in the new app.

Developer Abandoned Users?

Purchased 3 Hooked In Motion apps a while back. Worked great and lots of fields for customization for a while then last update iCollectBooks crashes often. Will not scan ISBN numbers properly, cannot manually enter ISBN because no keyboard pops up, attempts to enter author results in a crash. No feedback yet and websites are all shut down. Seems developer took the money and ran after a merger? Anybody know if the new developer(?) honors the purchase of these if they have been merged? As a developer and user this is nearly useless now and money is better spent elsewhere. Cannot believe we have to start this process of cataloging all over again with a new app.

Sucks

The database search is poor. Most of the times the book is not found, and when it is found vital info (Author) is not imported. Really sucks

Syncing doesnt work properly

This app is great until you try to sync with the website & apps on other devices. It doesnt sync everything & once it is you cant change it.

Great App!

I found this app to be a very easy & useful way to help me organize my ever growing collection of books.
