What’s New Version 1.4.1
You asked, we listened! Initially designed to quickly scan books at a book store or library, we have now added features that will allow users to catalog their own book collection! New features include:
- Add/edit books: Did the scan miss or incorrectly label a book? Unfortunately this app is at the mercy of AI recognition, but now you can make sure the scan is correct by adding a missing book or correcting an incorrect scan. Correcting previous saved scans is also possible!
- 'My Collection': View all scanned books in one location. Filter by rating, or search by author.
- Shelf Creation - Create your own 'shelves' within the My Collection tab, allowing you to organize books in anyway you'd like
We appreciate further suggestions and opinions!
