Hi,
apologies in advance if this is the wrong place to post this.
I absolutely love LibraryThing and over the last 6 months or so I have migrated fully from GoodReads. The website itself works fantastically, and considering I have a significant number of non-English books, the ability to use different sources has been a gamechanger.
However, i am really struggling with the app. when I've initially done an import from goodreads there was a lot of messy data that i worked to rectify over time and now i got to the stage where i am relatively satisfied with how it all looks.
But the problem is that when I use the app, it seems that for whatever reason, once I amended the books, the old version of the book record was retained in the app database so when i search for it, it will give me two results, the new record and the old record. the old record i can click on but it just opens a blank screen without any data and an error message. i can't delete it. I can't find the old record when i use the same search query on the website. it's difficult to describe but i've added two screenshots if it helps.
i tried searching for others with similar issues and i had tried the usual like reinstalling, clearing the data, relogging but nothing helped.
i would really appreciate the help in resolving this and I am happy to provide more information if necessary.
thanks.
