User Reviews

Users appreciate the Readerware Android app for managing and checking their personal book, music, and video collections on the go with seamless PC syncing and good support. However, multiple users report scanning features not working well especially on newer Android versions, loss of scanned data when navigating the app, and confusing setup documentation for network access. Overall, it is a helpful companion for the desktop Readerware software but has some technical and usability drawbacks related to scanning and database storage.

Pros

  • Helps keep track of books, music, and videos in a personal catalog
  • Syncs well with the PC Readerware software, allowing database transfer over WiFi
  • Good customer support with quick responses and openness to suggestions
  • Ability to check if you already own a book or item while on the go
  • Consistent updates and improvements to the app

Cons

  • Scanning feature is unreliable or broken on newer Android versions (Android 10/11)
  • App loses scanned list data when switching screens or if the screen times out
  • Documentation for setting up Readerware server and network access is confusing and conflicting
  • Integration/usage depends on having main PC software purchased
  • App may not work properly due to IP address issues or network restrictions

Barely useful. You may be better served outputting a .csv file for sorting and searching.
