How My Library iPhone App Works?
iPhone My Library app displays your books, CDs, and movies, organized by title, under separate tabs. If you load data about a particular title from the internet, its cover image is also loaded alongside. In case, an image is unavailable, you can add your own by snapping one using your iPhone camera. Using the app, you can search titles and enter a ‘loan status’ to remember to whom you’ve loaned a particular title or borrowed it from. You can also view how much a book/CD costs or from where you can purchase one, or make notes about what you thought of a particular movie or book.
The developer sets the number of titles that can be loaded to 8000; but if you have enough storage space for it, more titles may be accommodated. You can also backup/restore and view/sort your entire collection from your desktop with the integrated web server. My Library iPhone application also lets you backup and restore your library to the online backup server. You can even backup to your Dropbox account. It is also possible to import data via CSV file or saved backup, or email your database backup files to a destination of your choice.
The user interface looks a tad complex, especially when you use it first. However, as you start using it regularly, you’ll get used to it nuances. For a complete user experience, turn your iPhone to landscape, and browse your collection in shelf format.
