Great App, seemingly little support

First and above all else, I have to say that this app is awesome. I want that known before I share my complaints.

I really do love this app, and while I gave it 5 stars, I WOULD give it 4.5 for the following reasons. Since updating to El Capitan, every time I open Delicious Library (henceforth “DL”), my shelves are not shown, nor is the sidebar scanner. It basically shows just the “Library” list. A bug I hope will be fixed soon. I haven’t seen an El Capitan update yet, and if there is one, there’s some issues unsolved.

One other complaint was a bit of difficulty transferring my DL data from my old MacBook to my new one. The instructions are on the DL blog, and are from a few years ago, so there’s some important things that have changed that aren’t updated. I did receive email support from the developer, and the problem was solved.

My final complain is that the data exporting could be a bit cleaner, and that I could just email myself essentially an image of my data. I also wish there was an iPhone app that synced when I connected the scanner so that I have at minimum a searchable list on my phone at all times of what books I have.

Those things aside, this app is great. I’m just choosing to be very specific since it’s not an inexpensive app. It’s worth every penny, though.

I’ve got a roughly 900 book library, as well as tons of movies. I also use it for my board games, of which I have quite a few as well. I’m a toy collector, and have considered giving it a shot at keeping track of all of those (everything still in the box, so barcodes are there and scannable).

I love the data that is captured as far as library value, page count (though I wish it was exact and when in the hundreds of thousands, didn’t just round to the nearest thousand- that’s a pretty large margin). It’s cool seeing all the info, though.

If you’ve got a lot of stuff to keep track of, this app is definitely for you.
