Good app concept; poor/unreliable support
I love Booxter in principle. It does what I had hoped. Trouble is, some files won't open. Customer support not helpful or, worse, not at all responsive. (I haven't tried recently, but I did repeatedly some time ago. It seemed that they walked out of the store forever while keeping the lights on so that people would think there is actually somebody there.) I would love to access those files -- after all,, they are an important record! (Or they were supposed to be.)
United StatesCan't Enter Comics
I purchased this product tonight to catelog my comics. I cannot add comics for some reason. It seems like the interface between the online data base for comics and the program is not working. I cannot find anywhere to seek technical support. I tried to use a Books data base and it works great. Unfortunately, I want to use it for comics.
United StatesI love the idea and the program - Horrible crashing problem
I really enjoy using this program. A very hand App to pull together all my various collections. There are a few additions I would add (such as “Current real price” in addition to original price and current highest price), and some other minor issues. Also, I still have not figure out how to export my collections to my iPad / iPhone. But, here is a big problem I just encountered. I’m using an iMac running OS 10.10.5. Booxter has a tendency to crash at random times, for no reason. It has done this to me on more than a few occasions, and since I had not saved my current work, it erased everything that I had worked on for the past hour. Very annoying, and must be fixed. That aside, it’s a great work in progress and a great tool - but if you don’t fix the crashing issue, a lot of people are going to be upset.
United StatesExcellent and useful
I’ve been using Booxter for 3 years and very happy with it. Highly recommend it. I just wish the Description field was added to the Batch Edit so that all the descriptive junk that publishers add could be deleted in one shot. With thousands of books this is difficult to do one-by-one and makes the Search function pretty useless.
United StatesGreat Tool for Comics
Picked up the lite version to help catalog my comics, and ended up finding the interface, while hard to navigate initially, very full of information and was helpful to explain the system. Some of the batch loading and batch editing appears to be a little glitchy, but all in all, its an awesome tool and does exactly what it says to do and catalogs my comics. I'm getting started getting my books and possibly movies in there too. Best tool I've seen so far for comic cataloging on the Mac. A little spendy, but if you're an archivist of your own media, its worth every penny.
United StatesGood stuff
Although I experienced a few difficulties in making the iPhone app work properly, I must say that this app is excellent. My entire collection (+500 international books) was quickly added to the database, and the information gathered was usually precise and complete. I would highly recommend it for those who need to manage large collections of books. However I would appreciate better documentation and a more intuitive interface.
United StatesNot worth the money
I had great hopes for this app. And I have tried repeatedly to use it successfully. But its design just isn't good enough, it doesn't work well enough, and it has no support at all. I mean, not even a FAQ, and almost no instructions. I was really looking forward to being able to get call numbers and subject headings for my books, and I loved the idea of being able to sort and print out lists. I have thousands of books and it is very, very time-consuming to try to catalog them by hand. However, many of my books are old enough to lack ISBNs, and quite a few are even older and lack LC numbers. Booxter can't help me with these! As for printing, it really doesn't work; if you use more than a few fields (and why wouldn't you, when Booxter offers so many?) they don't fit on the paper! I have spent a year trying to get Booxter to be worth *any* effort, let alone money, but at this point I am giving up. The effort of cataloging my books by hand will actually be more rewarding.
