Poorly conceived; fairly executed
Potential buyer, please be aware that this app only lets you view your existing collection. You cannot use this app to add titles to or edit titles in your database. This means the value of your iDevices portability is cut in half, since you can consult your database while shopping (useful, though I imagine many people, like me, mostly shop online for books these days), but you cannot add a title to your database if, say, someone gives you a recommendation during a party (capturing these ephemeral bits of information is where handheld devices truly shine).
As a database viewer, this app is barely adequate. Navigation is idiosyncratic (as in, the opposite of intuitive), and the display options are odd. Who the hell wants to view his collection as a mosaic of covers? But its not as if theres essential information missing in the handheld version of your book collection database.
I would not have purchased this app if I had realized that I couldnt use it to add titles. But its not (quite) a total waste.
