Customer Testimonials

The following are unsolicited testimonials from Readerware customers:

G. H. CONDON, QLD, Australia:
Just thought I would drop you a line to let you know that I have just received the cd's and cuecat scanners ordered on the 21st April and to thank you for your prompt attention to this order. Even more impressive because I am in Australia and the product was delivered in less than 10 days.

The scanners work perfectly and the software is simply brilliant. You have excelled with this program. The interface is extremely intuitive and the functionality of the program is impressive. I have been searching for a piece of software like this for near on 15 years and have come across nothing that even comes close to Readerware. I will happily recommend it to everyone.

O. G. London, England:
I have been using readerware to collate and catalogue the library at my sons school for sometime now, and I have never really got back to you since the time of purchase to say thank you very much for a truly lovely product, which has made my work so much easier and is such a pleasure to use.

Once more, thank you. Readerware is a really user friendly and intuitive product and I wish you every success.

D.S. Albany, OR:
Thank You for creating a wonderful product. Using your software has allowed me to sort my 800+ books. Now each book is labeled and shelved in category. It is so much easier to find the book I am looking for. Plus it give me a complete listing of all books, movies, and music in case there is a need to file an insurance claim. It was a quick and easy process to setup, all I do now is maintain it when I add new items to my collection. Again thank you for making my library manageable.

M.T. Walnut Creek, CA:
While I am here, I must say I have never found a piece of software more useful. I own almost 3,000 cds (blues primarily), had no actual catalog, no way to insure the collection.

Those days are gone, my great thanks to you and any who have contributed to your product.

P.D. San Antonio, TX:
The support that you get from Readerware is phenomenal. I sometimes wonder if they ever sleep. I have never asked for help without getting an answer to my question way before 24 hours. This is a wonderful company to work with when you have a problem.

I have 6,000+ books and I have close to 3,000 in Readerware. I would never have been able to even start to get my books cataloged without it. The new version is even more helpful. Thanks once again for a great piece of software and a great support department.

J.F. Durham, NC:
Your software is extremely useful and your follow-up technical support has to be among the best in the software industry.

This program is essential if one has a large collection of books, music CDs, or DVDs. However, even if one has only modest sized collections they would enjoy using Readerware, for they would have the refreshing experience of seeing how a small software company can give consistently prompt and focused technical support of their product.

G.W. Solvang, CA:
One of the best "off the shelf" programs I have ever used. It does what your literature says it will do! And the support is top's. What a welcome concept in the software market!

M.P. Amsterdam, Netherlands:
I just received Readerware Standard Edition Bundle CD & Free USB CueCat in good condition and all works perfectly. I also want you to let you know that the software is absolutely great and it is total fun to database my belongings this way c.q. get my books etc in order with your easy and fast going program which has so many possibilities. Well done!

J.C. Danville, CA:
I love this thing! (Readerware VW is what I use the most.)

Good job on good software. Keep up the good work.

I recommend you to anyone who asks.

M.V. Wilkesboro, NC:
I loaded all my books into your program. On my old program it took me days to load, with yours less than an hour!!! The program is easy, functional, useful, etc., etc., etc.!!! I am so totally pleased that I took the time to look for the right program, and look forward to a long use of it!!! It is FANTASTIC!!! Keep up the good work. I'm sure I will be back when I decide to load our record albums; cds; movies; etc., etc., etc.!!

Thanks a whole bunch from me and the group who will also find this program easy to use!!!

C.B. San Clemente, CA:
I would like to tell you I absolutely love your product. Thank you so much. After I installed the book portion, your wonderful program downloaded (in the blink of an eye) all the books I have purchased from Amazon.com. It was amazing to watch.

Once again, thank you for a wonderful set of programs.

L.A. Jonesboro, GA:
Thank you for such a wonderful program! My husband and I have, to say the least, a large library of books, CDs and video media. I searched for years in stores and online for a library program in vain. My husband found a review of several "home" library programs, After reviewing each of them myself, I found Readerware to be, by far, the most comprehensive and complete, and easy to use of all the programs.

S.P. Dothan, AL:
I am loveing useing my readerware. I have put in almost 800 books and over 200 movies. I have recomended your product to anyone and everone who collects books, movies, or music that i know, and even a few people i dont know. Thank you for a wonderful product.

R.I. Ames, IA:
Readerware is fantastic. Once I got the hang of the cuecat, it is just amazing how fast I can catalogue the books. I am going to recommend Readerware to everybody I know at the university.

M.O. Chevy Chase, MD:
This is a great piece of software. I have already recommended it to two friends and will continue to recommend it to others. I finally have the tool I need to get my house in order.

T.B. Peaks Island, ME:
I can't tell you how pleased I am with the product. After decades of wanting to catalog my too-large library, I am finally underway.

D.B. McHenry, IL:
I don't usually do this but I had to tell you how impressed with your book program. I have about 1,500 books in my home library. Some people collect stamps, others collect coins. I collect... well

Unfortunately my books are not organized ala Dewey Decimel so I have to zero in on a given volume's specific location when I want to dig it out. I did have a shareware library program that served me well for about ten years but when the computer died, it took that program with it.

Stumbled on your program while searching the web. First figured too expensive for me, given all the claims but happily discovered it was only $40. Downloaded trial and decided within minuted that I had to have it.

I'm still recompiling my directory but not only is the task no longer daunting, it's actually fun.

Thanks for a great program. It's worth every penny, if not more (Ooops, maybe I shouldn;'t have said that. I'd like to see other bibliophiles take advantage of Readerware's outstanding features.)

J.C. Ashland, VA:
This is such an easy-to-use program, and I was so happy to discover that I could download updates to my new Mac, even though I originally purchased the PC version. Joy!

V.L. Buckeye, AZ:
i have used your program since verison 2.? I have over 12000 books in my database and over 500 dvds in my movie database..this is the best program i have ever bought and i have bought a lot. keep up the good work...

D.L. West Long Branch, NJ:
I have been using Readerware for several years now and have cataloged over 1400 books, both with and without UPC codes and almost 400 DVDs. It made managing my library easy and manageable. I tend to buy books and DVD by the 10s at a time and Readerware is indispensable. Anyone who has books, DVDs and audio CD and tapes should get the software.

P.G. Corinth, KY:
Simply put, I am astounded. I purchased and downloaded Readerware and simultaneously ordered a funky looking, toy-like, CueCat on eBay as suggested on the Readerware site.

Perhaps by some fluke, I received the CueCat (yep, looked like a dime store toy) in 48 hours. By the end of the same day I had cataloged more than 650 books! The program is both easy and powerful - yet ECONOMICAL! I didn't know that was possible. I hate to ruin it for others, but the application would have been worth MUCH more to me than I paid ($50 w/cd). I'm just blown away.

BTW - the CueCat (about $15) performed FLAWLESSLY with Readerware. Swipe, beep, loaded. Wow.

S.F. Lincoln, RI:
Your program really IS as easy as you say it is!!! At last, a program that works as advertised. Thank you!

Thank you again for doing the work and the testing necessary to produce a quality product.

J.M. Santa Barbara, CA:
I have been using Readerware for about 3 weeks. Not only am I pleased with the program, but I'm delighted with the wealth of support information both with the software and on your web site. You are to be commended on providing unparralleled support to your customers. Please keep it up. Service is a dying commodity these days. To have it, really stands out! Thanks

J.M. London, England:
I've just started using Readerware and I'm very impressed. In the past, I considered manually cataloging my book collection, but the prospect of tackling 2,000 works didn't hold much appeal. Using Readerware and a barcode scanner, I finished the job in half a day.

Even better, Readerware has already paid for itself. I not only have a reasonably large book collection, I also have a terrible memory, so I often end up buying books that I already own (a fact that I usually only realise when I'm halfway through reading my "new" purchase and its far too late to return it). Now, I carry an HTML version of my catalog around with me on my PocketPC and can browse it when I'm in bookstores to see if I've already got a particular book. This past weekend, I managed to avoid buying two books that I already have at home, a £40 ($70) saving. There are very few software products that pay for themselves within three days of purchase, but Readerware is one.

P.C., J.C., L.S., S.F. TITUSVILLE, FL:
Got it up and running and I am dumbfounded. speechless even. --WOW--

(pause while shock wears off)

"normally software doesn't live up to the hype in this case: it is most definitivly vice versa".

"Truly a amazing and Remarkable product!"

"did in 30 min. what normally took two days!"

"Our small community library (5000 books) was a mountain, with ReaderWare it's reduced to a molehill."

"CueCat is our new office mascot!"

We were researching and cataloging 5000+ books by hand and then entering the data in an MS Access Database a slow and tedious process... until ReaderWare arrived...to whose creators I will be forever grateful, and in awe of. programming wizardry and great "feel" the whole "experience" is perfect.

H.W. Sunnyvale, CA:
I have found your product to be a critical part to adding DVD's to my DVD library and then maintaining the library once the DVD has been added. My DVD library is very large and had become very unruly, until a friend told me about READERWARE-VW that is. Since my purchase, I have been able to put all my DVD's into the database and now I can maintain the database information by just investing a couple of minutes whenever I add a new DVD. This software is very user friendly and produces excellent reports, making it very easy to find the DVD that I am looking for. Now when my wife asks about a DVD, I can go right to it, instead of spending 30-60 minutes looking through each binder until I find the movie we wanted. As you can imagine, our movie time has become much more enjoyable since we spend more time watching movies instead of looking for them.

C.N. Thatcher, AZ:
After evaluating nine different programs I have just purchased your readerware for books software and wanted to let you know how pleased and surprised at all the features and capability of this program. Of all the nine programs I tested your program was far and above the finest of the lot.. Many more features and the bar code scanning works beautifully well and what a time saver.. In six days I scanned, uploaded, searched for and added over 700 books to three different databases I am keeping. I can guarantee anyone that if they want a full featured database for their books .. they will not find a more full featured and easy to use program than this one.. and what a value .. would be a steal at twice the price.

Can't wait to get the register key

Thanks again for a first class product

M.L. Collierville, TN:
But the reason for this email is to let you know how wonderful Readerware performed this past weekend. During some major house cleaning, I decided to catalog all my books. I launched Readerware for the first time, and by the time the weekend was over, I had cataloged over 800 books. It was so easy and the process was superb. Readerware performed exceptionally. Even manually adding books without ISBN numbers was easy. In short, the task was accomplished quickly and easily. I was quite impressed.

Thank you for a great product!

I forgot to mention that I used the CueCat for reading the bar code. The combination product is awesome.

J.K. HAVRE DE GRACE, MD:
Finding Readerware was like hitting a gold mine. It is one of the most phenomenal products I have ever encountered. And, I say this in all seriousness. It solved what had become a problem of gargantuan proportions: how do I deal with tracking an inventory that was blowing out my walls.

I continue to be amazed at how the software has streamlined my overall inventory control system. The ability to import and export data into and out of my POS software is the icing on the cake: totally awesome. . and for a price that can't be beat!!!

Thanks again!

J.M. Fairport, NY:
I can't begin to explain how great your product is. So much thought went into the development of this software and it works extremely well. I especially love the cross-platform features, as I am a huge Mac fan. I started with the single user version and was so impressed I ordered the Client/Server so I could have the software on all of my 4 computers. The pricing is very reasonable, for all versions.

What I really wanted to relate was that I was especially pleased to see the update for MacOS X (2.861) so soon after encountering the problem with the interface. I can't tell you how many software companies (Apple computer being one of the worst, in my book) just ignore repeated complaints about obvious bugs in software.

To not even have to contact support about the problem was good in itself, but to see the patch just waiting for me on the ReaderWare website as an acknowledged and solved problem really made my day.

Keep up the great work guys! Great product and great support. Other companies could learn a real lesson from you.

T.R. Hillsborough, NC:
I just got my Cue Cat in the mail yesterday and I’ve cataloged almost 200 books. I love it. It’s easy to use and makes it easy to collect so much data quickly. I’ve got a wireless LAN so I can go right to the bookshelves or to the stacks of books on the floor, scan and download the details about the books in minutes. I’ve been attempting to create a database manually and never completed it. Too much typing! Readerware has solved my problems. I’ve got hundreds of books in many genres. I am ecstatic to now have an easy way organize them. Next, the CDs and DVDs.

Thanks.

G.H. Corrales, NM:
Thanks for your extremely prompt, completely understandable, and effective response. (you guys must have set a modern era record with this!) Everything worked like a charm and I'm back up and running. Neat program! Again, thanks and I'm recommending your company and product to everyone I know.

B.W. Overland Park, KS:
I purchased Readerware and have been using it for several weeks now and it is a super program. A lot of software out there is really bad but Readerware is about as good a program as I have ever used.

Thanks for great software.

B.R. Salem, OR:
Just wanted to let you know how pleased I am with your book cataloging software. I've cataloged over 2000 books successfully now, some through spreadsheet imports, most through my Cue-Cat reader, and others by ISBN data file entry. Everything works great. Thanks!

R.E. Little Rock, AR:
I have had two issues and you took care of them immediately. I appreciate that. I love your software. I have cataloged 200 books in a very short period of time. Thank yuou very much for writing and supporting the software so well.

J.S. Englewood, CO:
I just purchased your readerware 3 package program (book, music, video) about 2 weeks ago and just started with the cue-cat today...I just wrote to tell you I am absolutely thrilled with my purchase from you . This is just for me to use at home for my personal collection , but you have made it exceptionally easy for me to keep track of everything . I was truly impressed by the auto catalog feature that accesses the Internet to retrieve the information & cover photos and also by how easy it was to use and format to my personal taste.... I even keep track of library books that I have read by designating their locating as library..

Thankyou !!!!!!
