The app also makes your collection searchable in several ways: By keyword, of course, but also by a spoken search (though this feature also seems hit-or-miss). You can save these items to a wishlist, or click on it and be whisked to to make the purchase straightaway. First, it generates a list of other, “recommended” items you might enjoy, based on what you already own. Once scanned, Delicious Library 3 offers several features. You can find books by the colors on their covers. A warning, though: Delicious Monster is built to be used only with iOS 6.1 or later. That’s a particularly handy feature if you’re working from a Mac desktop, and don’t want to lug piles of books to be scanned using the webcam. The app doesn’t retain any records-you can’t look at your library on your phone-but it can scan barcodes and transmit that info to your computer.

While Delicious Library 2 could be paired with a Bluetooth-enabled barcode scanner-like the ones you see at retail stores-the new edition offers integration with iOS devices: The free mobile app, Delicious Monster, pairs your iPhone or iPad with your computer over a Wi-Fi network. Tempted as I was to chalk the misidentifications up to the relative obscurity of my wife’s collection, the books of mine that Delicious Library successfully scanned seemed to be equally obscure. (My wife’s copy of Monstrous Regiment by Terry Pratchett was finally correctly identified on the third try.) Otherwise, you can delete the entry and/or hand-enter the information-a painful slowdown when you’re getting used to the zippity-quick scanning process. You can re-scan the barcode sometimes that will correct the problem and sometimes it won’t. That scanning can be hit-or-miss: Delicious Library 3 misidentified four of the first 10 books I scanned. Users can see an analysis of their collection and its value.
