I haven't used the application yet, so this is not a review. But I wanted to comment on the developer's response to the comments about the lack of fields for entering Dewey/LoC entries. I don't know just how widely the Dewey system is used, but it is certainly not specific to the United States. U.K. libraries use it widely, for example. LoC may be more local, though. Even so, it might still be useful for international users in English-speaking countries (or who read in English) as books are often imported from the States if they are not available locally. Personally, I think an entry for Dewey would be useful, but I wouldn't probably use LoC data. Since I'm not a current user, though, take this for what it is worth!
