Import Not Working

[Lorelle]

I've been trying to add new books to Shelves 3.7.2 for over a month, single and batch additions. The app reports the book is found but it never resolves the "importing" or "adding" notice. I've experimented with Wifi and Data connections to determine if there is a difference, and there appears to be not.

There was a comment here in the issues about the failure to search due to a possible change in the Amazon API, which would explain the inability to download the title details, but either way, until this is resolved, the app is useless to me. I've been a paid user for many years and use it frequently to track various household inventory items. I love the ease of use and integration with Amazon and other data sources.

Thank you.

Same situation here with paid version. It seems that the web service used to find information on the web doesn't respond : the search after a scan wait keeps waiting.

If gjtorikian is not able/willing to keep it running, maybe the source code of this service could be released as open source to help this useful app continue.

Another option would be to add some web scrapping capabilities in Shelves itself.

@gjtorikian : if you don't plan to fix the online search service, you should warn the potential buyers of the Unlocker on Google Play! For those of us who already bought it, could you provide more information on the web or API sources that were used so that we may try to find alternative ways to continue to use this useful app?
