Really disappointed in this
For a personal database like this, which I need, I’m willing to put up with some clumsiness and slowness. But that it does not work as advertised is deeply frustrating. I paid for it, I’ll stick with it because there’s no worthwhile alternative, but I also paid for advertised functionality, which is not there. Problems:
* Views don’t work. You get three selections, and yet nothing ever changes from bookshelf view, which is ugly and slow
* iTunes library is bizarre—there’s no way to just see music, you get every iOS app you ever purchased as well. If you don’t need or want this, tough, that’s what you get.
* Internally inconsistent: in your library, CDs are Type=Album, but if you want to filter albums, you need to use Type=Music. Did anyone proofread?
* The interface for adding from Amazon, really using their data to import your own, is terrible. Type an item to name and what you actually get is search results from both Amazon and your library. If it’s in my library, why would I add it? And you can’t filter for type from the Amazon results, which is stupid.
* Scanning with iPhone and importing doesn’t work. At least you don’t have to pay for the scanner app, because Delicious Library 3 doesn’t actually import.
This is lazy, lazy, lazy software design and making, unprofessional. Yet not free.
