  • Was great till it wasn’t

    I had this app for five years and then just two days ago I went to look at it while shopping for books and my entire database was gone. I emailed the creators and got no response. I’m now in the process of starting to rescan hundreds of books in another app. You get what you pay for I guess. Don’t trust this one.

    Been using it a long time, paid for the unlimited feature but it has many bugs and looks antiquated. I wish it would have a nice overhaul, even if I need to pay again.

    We have a few thousand books I’ve been wanting to catalog and organize for some time. This is the best app I’ve found to centralize information in an easily searchable format. Once I got over 100 books though it seemed to struggle. Some stability issues and issues with a smooth cloud merge.

    I’m trying to input all my books. I keep having to close the app after 2-5 inputs. More often 2. 277 so far, three shelves to go and I should have been done a week ago. I bought this years ago after trying the free version and probably a couple others. I liked it. I lost all my data in numerous phone changes. Nbd.

  • Terrible technical support

    I have been using book crawler for over 10 years, way before cloud support. There was a time where you could call support and actually talk to Jaime ( I did it several times). Now you cannot get anyone to answer let alone call you back or answer an email. Although I am not a tekkie I am not ignorant of technology but the directions in the help section are very difficult to follow. I have paid for a subscription but for the last two weeks cannot get my cloud syncing to work on my iPad and cannot get anyone to help me. Very disappointed in support and mostly of Jaime who has let her app fall short of the superior product I once knew.

  • This app used to be awesome… not anymore

    I paid for the larger version years ago and now I’m having the same problem as some of the other people. 🤬 I can’t add anymore books because it says the trial version is over but that’s crap. It does nothing when you click on the restore or purchase. If they want to charge more money fine. I used to think this app was worth twice what I paid for it but not now. Another review made the comment that maybe they are going out of business. The idea scared me because I would have to go back to what I did before. Having a notebook to carry around is NOT appealing. If they fix this issue I will repost another review

  • It’s Back!

    Yes, like many others I was frustrated because suddenly I could no longer add new books. Spent a couple days trying out other apps and none had all the features offered by Book Crawler. I’ve used it for many years and glad that the developer has fixed the purchase glitch.

  • Impossible to add new books

    By London Book Person
    I seem to be having the exact same problem as a number of other users. When trying to add a new book I get a message that I have exceeded the numbers allowed in the trial version—despite having purchased the full version previously. When I click on purchase nothing happens. When do you expect to fix this issue?
