  "Not for Mac OS X 10.4"

  February 3, 2011  |   By g3d--2008

  Version: Book Hunter 1.1.4

  Pros

  I was hopeful but it didn't work on OS X 10.4

  Cons

  The OS it does work on should be specified, but isn't.

  Summary

  That is, it doesn't specify which OS under the Quick Specs heading. It's stated in the Publisher's description that it's for Mac OS X Leopard.

  "Doesn't work on my Mac."

  January 29, 2011  |   By hoagk

  Version: Book Hunter 1.1.4

  Pros

  I saw some possibilities, but now I won't know until Book Hunter catches up.

  Cons

  I have a Mac 10.5.8 and the program says it is not for this version. I really wanted to see if I could use it for my classroom library. Oh, well.

  "It barcode scanned my library with ease using the Mac!!"

  January 2, 2011  |   By Michael Dawson 99

  Version: Book Hunter 1.1

  Pros

  Ease of use. Fantastic value (donation). Intuitive interface. Uses Mac camera to barcode scan and automatically display info plus cover art if available. Otherwise just type title for it to search on line data base.

  Cons

  Cant find any.

  Summary

  Easy to use, fantastic value and no need to buy a separate barcode scanner.

  "This software is impressive and exactly what I needed."

  July 8, 2010  |   By operaelephant93

  Version: Book Hunter 1.0.5

  Pros

  *Easy to Use
  *iSight barcode scanning
  *Good viewing options
  *Many different ways to identify books
  *Autocomplete works pretty well
  *Allows you to record when you lend books to people

  Cons

  *Advantage of "groups" feature is hard to pinpoint
  *Autocomplete doesn't always have the older editions of books (but you can fill it in yourself easily so this is not really a big deal)

  Summary

  Book Hunter is very easy to use and well laid out. Adding new books is made especially easy by the iSight scanning feature. I just wave the book in front of the iSight and it finds the book's information for me. You can choose from 24 information fields (everything from the title and ISBN number to the location, collection, and date acquired). There is a section for tracking who has your books in case you lend them to anyone. The options for viewing your books are the same as the music library in iTunes. (Searching works the same way, as well.) All in all it is a wonderfully designed piece of software and is exactly what I needed.

  "Autocomplete does not work"

  January 24, 2009  |   By Felinda

  Version: Book Hunter 0.8.3

  Summary

  This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
  The program is nice looking, fields for all of the information I would like to store. One major problem though with this version is that the autocomplete does not work. No matter what ISBN you insert, you come up with the same results, which are wrong. I was hoping to use this to easily keep track of my extensive library of hobby reference books without having to manually add all of the information. I'll keep an eye out on this program, but right now, it needs the automcomplete fixed.
