Collectionista manager (v. 0.6.0) Разработано pjv |
Collection manager for books, music CDs, sheet music scores, and more! Add items to shelves by scanning their barcodes, searching online or entering details manually. You can organize them into collections you manage yourself. (Keywords: packrat inventory delicious library goodreads aldiko)
Designed as a general Android app to keep hold of any collections, Collectionista aims to fit in with the system and other apps, natively. Emphasis is on a beautiful presentation and a sound user experience. Examples are the book and CD covers that are automatically fetched off the internet, but which you can also change if you want to.
Each collection has some special actions for its items. An example is linking a CD to a playlist in your music player.
The goal is to become a manager of not only these typical media collections, but also of classic collectibles or even plain day-to-day items.
Collectionista integrates well on a broad range of devices and platform versions, including phones with small screens and full-size tablets.
Features:
• Create collections for books and CDs. As well as a generic collection for any other miscellaneous items. Create as many collections and name them as you want.
• Add items to a collection, such as books, music CDs or generic items. An item can hold a lot of related information.
• A collection is presented naturally, for instance in the form of a shelf with books on it.
• Use barcode scanning to add an item, using information downloaded from online databases.
• Online databases used are currently: Google Books and Discogs.
• Track when you created and last modified items.
• Covers are displayed and downloaded. They can be exchanged for images from your Gallery or elsewhere from your device. Also, back covers are shown.
• Rate your items.
• Mark whether you have read a book.
• Share an item title via a generated barcode. Easy to exchange with another phone.
• Long lists of items scroll fast and covers are only shown when they become visible. This keeps memory usage low.
• Covers are updated from the internet periodically and automatically (except if you chose the cover).
• App can be installed on SDcard. Your database is kept internally however, in accordance with the Android specification. A cache of cover images etc. on the other hand is kept on the SDcard. We make sure to follow the Android spec as to the location.
• Data is backed up to the Google cloud. It restores upon reinstall or when you buy a new phone. No action required. Depends on device support.
• A purple ActionBar at the top let's you easily navigate, perform common actions, and find your way back home.
• The workflow mimics the native workflow of Android apps. I.e. your data is always saved, unless you cancel, discard, or revert, even if you briefly switch to another application.
• We apply an extensive test suite before releasing new versions to prevent common problems/errors reappearing. While never 100% effective, this allows us to guarantee a certain level of quality eventually.
• All control and input methods are supported: touch, joyball, joystick, point-and-click, 4-way buttons, hardware keyboard, virtual keyboards, ... Any language input. Both portrait and landscape mode, and screen rotations.
This app is open-source. Any contributions are welcome and sincerely appreciated.
Please rate this app, and when you do, please rate only the functionality currently available and your experience in using the app. New functionality is added all the time, no need to request it.
If you experience a problem, have a question or any feedback, please EMAIL ME directly at ezelspinguin at gmail dot com. That is the only way that allows me to reply!

[2013-08-29] A Google User: Poor execution I've been looking for an Android app like Delicious Library and found this. Unfortunately, it sucks. Scanned a ton of books,and it could only identify one, which it identified wrong. Tried older, newer, books in different lighting. Nothing. Extremely disappointed. |
|
[2012-12-09] A Google User: Didnt find any of my cds Didnt find any information for my CDs. Pretty common stuff too... Bruce Springsteen and the like. |
|
[2012-11-15] A Google User: Am I doing it wrong? Scanned 10 CD's from 1990 to 2012 and not a single one came up. |
|
[2012-10-22] A Google User: Doesn't work - looks good Needed this for books. I entered books from Penguin, Signet and Norton critical editions. Used Scanner for all of them. Only found 1 book and it entered it wrong. I manually entered the ISBN's for the others, but it could not find them. It is useless to me. ** + 1 star for having a cool shelf veiw. |

[2012-08-05] A Google User: A pain to use Uninstalled |
|
[2012-07-30] A Google User: Doesn't scan *any* books. I tried to scan 10 books. It didn't recognize one of them. Uninstalling. |
|
[2012-07-16] A Google User: Needs work! With the very first book I tried to scan in this program couldn't find my book. |
|
[2012-06-01] A Google User: Decent concept, flawed execution Slow and clunky, ads take up too much room. It takes long enough to download covers etc over 3g that it'd be worth putting in a progress bar or even backgrounding the transfer. The database used doesn't contain a majority of my book collection (None of my programming, poetry, Neal Stephenson, others), nor a sizeable chunk of my CD collection (16 Volt, The Imagined Village, MC Lars, others) Would be useful to add support for vinyl collections, as well as movies and video games. Confusing error messages. |
|
[2012-05-23] A Google User: Not as described Description says music, when it actually is only for CD's. Since my main reason for buying was LP's, the only thing I can use it for is books. Can't even due sheet music yet. If you could add LP's and fix the sheet music issue I would gladly give it a 5...all day long :). |
|
[2012-03-13] A Google User: Almost perfect Would get 5 stars if it had support for other than books and CDs. |
|
[2012-03-02] A Google User: Why wouldn't you make a movies and games section? PLEASE update. |
|
[2012-02-21] A Google User: Really good idea Great app in concept, needs some sorting features and better barcode support. |
|
[2011-12-18] A Google User: Great for cds and books but nothing else. |
|
[2011-12-15] A Google User: Perfect! Hope you can sort the list alphabetically and add categories for dvds, games, etc. Other than that for me it's perfect! More power to you guys! |
|
[2011-11-27] A Google User: A breath of fresh air! Amazing app for cataloging your books! Includes many intuitive functions. Love that it displays books as cover art on wooden bookshelf! |

[2011-08-20] A Google User: Lacks batch scan, can't change scanning software. Should message when existing barcode is found. Should allow exp/import. Good apps but lot missing |

[2011-08-02] A Google User: Not good for an in and out inventory tracker (which is not their fault that their app didn't do). Better for a static database of your things. |

[2011-06-22] A Google User: Beautiful GUI, but app has some serious flaws. Scan is very inaccurate, doesn't find much of my music or books (Sarah Jarosz's Song Up in Her Head? Shtyengart's Super Sad True Love Story?); needs bulk scan (similar to Shelves and Good Reads apps, sp); really needs native support for movies. App is constantly running in the background, even when not openned, which is really unnecessary and suspicious. Location Permission is extraneous and suspicious. Evo 2.3, NS 2.3. My Media Catalog is vastly superior. Interested in future updates, but need to uninstall |

[2011-05-01] A Google User: It would be nice not to get upload fails on the majority of the books I scan. What's the point of the barcode scanner if the upload always fails. |

[2011-04-28] A Google User: I like the app so far, but it could use manual ISBN entry, and some sort of export. Preferably an import too, but export is more important. |

[2011-04-18] A Google User: Honeycomb Barcode problem There seems to be a barcode scanning problem in Honeycomb using "Barcode Scanner" - I think the problem lies with the barcode app and not Collectionista although I got strange patterns on the screen when I first started it with an empty database. Was OK once I had realised how far "above" the "above buuton" was on Honeycomb tablet! It's the "plus" sign in the top menu bar! |
