* Sorting by author (last name), title, series, etc.
* user-defined sort and list styles
* Search Amazon, Google Books, goodreads and LibraryThing for data
* Searching
* Thumbnails (download, gallery or camera)
* Loaning books
* goodreads synchronization
* Export and Backup
* Bookshelves (books can be on multiple shelves)

Want a wishlist? Just create a bookshelf called 'Wishlist' and start adding books.

I used to love this app. Not so much anymore. I've recently had to add in my book collection again and I've noticed that the search parameters are not as large as they once were. It only seems to search Google books and the app, it used to search more than this when looking for the book I was adding. Now it barely finds any of the books I have and it never picks up the correct order or even the series like it used to. To say this is disappointing is an understatement.

I started using this app years ago and although it is pretty clunky I really needed it because it synced with Goodreads and also allowed me to take notes on books. Unfortunately it lost its ability to sync with Goodreads because Goodreads changed its API. I still use it but I have to manually do things in Goodreads and in this app to keep them in sync. I'm going to start looking for another app that can sync with Goodreads.

What happened to this app? Have been using it for awhile now and all was going well. Now I haven't been able to scan books and many have had to put in manuallly. The best part of this app for me was the scanning the books in. Now I'll have to rescan scan 740 books into another app. I liked that this app wasn't over the top as I don't need all the extras some apps have. I liked the scan in, bookshelf sort, and read options this app provided.
