Works great but...

Ive been looking for a library catalog app after almost losing a book I loaned to a subordinate and could not remember who had it. I wanted to easily catalog my books and see who had borrowed my books when I needed it back. After trying a few version, I decided on this app, which I somewhat regret.

What I like about the app is that I can easily see which books are loaned out and who has them. It connects to my contacts, so I always know I have contact information for who has borrowed my books.

The first challenge I find is that when doing bulk import, when the barcode is ambiguous, you are not notified and you do not get verification of which book is being added to your library. This is more of an issue with bulk imports, but I have a large library and need to get everything in eventually.

The other issue I have is that a number of my religious books are not in the catalog, so I have to enter them manually. I would have expected a connection to Amazon or the Library of Congress so I would not have to enter as much information.

A small issue, which might not be a big issue for everyone is that I cannot easily separate my home and office libraries. It can easily be done one at a time, but not with bulk imports, which is challenging for when I am building my library.
