Pros and cons of Anobii™ app for iPhone and iPad
Anobii™ app good for
This is one of the coolest apps going. Im constantly impressed how it fulfills a background need perfectly.
I love cataloguing books I need for my library and the ones I have.
The main website rounds out this service well.
After installed the latest version, I must retrieve my previous review, cause this version ROCKS!! The barcode scanning is quick, accurate and easy to use, and the speed of entering to buy list and personal bookshelf is faster than ever! The only thing left for me to expect is a categorized to buy list, so I wont have to look through a long list and find the right book, while having trouble remembering which is to buy and which is to borrow. Again, well done!!
I havent used this site for some time because it just took too much time to manually register my books. Now with this new app I can see myself using Anobii more. The bar code scanning is blazing fast and so far 100% accurate (after 10 books scanned)!!!
Wonderful and easy to use
Great book collector.
Hope it can come up with manually setting up different category. So then I can fin my books easier. Thank you!
This is the best app for categorizing my library at home. The scanner works great and really is quick and efficient! Two things that should be tweaked though:
1) book covers should be added. I only have default covers because I am guessing covers werent found.
2) Sort by author should be added when sorting your library.
It was already a great app with the website before something went wrong a couple month ago. Now its once again being maintained and its as useful as ever. As a Anobii user over 6 years, I still think its better than sites such as Goodreads and appreciate the teams efforts in running it!
Some bad moments
Not working. The app crashes right the way.
FYI. I use a iPhone 4 with the newest software update.
The app login successfully and I can acquire books but I cant see the books added on the website and on the website I dont see books scanned on the app.
I checked for support and I see that no question has been replied even from 8 months ago. I think this app is just bad and not supported at all.
This is a promising application. But it has two problems: 1. It crashes when you try to open it. I tried to add a book to my library, it first displayed an error message and then it crashed. Now, I cannot open it any more. 2. It cannot find foreign books. I tried to scan my Turkish books and it did not recognise them. What a shame!
I hope you develop and solve these issues soon. Thanks.
When downloaded, it asks you to sign up to create an account. However, when you enter all the info required, it gives an error message and no longer responds to the user. It is impossible to get started... Well done, congrats!
Awesome concept but lately its been very buggy. Book covers arent showing up and its slow. Needs to have a way to search books on my shelf.
I love the idea of having a scan function. But it is very unstable.
