App only showing 4 out of 15 John Le Carre novels

Hi! I hope someone can help me please - I have 14 John Le Carre novels listed with LT but the App only ever shows 4 under “C” and none at all under “L”.

I see something similar for my library: I coincidentally have 14 John Le Carré titles, also in various different collections.

If I do “search your catalog” in the iOS app with the string “Le Carré” it returns all fourteen, as expected.

The name “John Le Carré” in the iOS app’s alphabetical author list (under C) has the number “14” against it, but if I click on it, no results are shown.

Could it be something to do with the way the “é” is encoded?

Hmm, the Authors page seems to have incorrect data for my library as well.

I have 3 movies by "The Farrelly Brothers": that's what's in my data in the author field.

Yet, when I scroll through my Authors page in the iOS App, I see:

"Bobby & Peter Farrelly" (1) and
"The Farrelly Brothers" (2)

Clicking on "Bobby & Peter Farrelly" gives me an empty page, while clicking on "The Farrelly Brothers" gives me the 3 records as it should be doing.

Even worse, my "Neil Gaiman" (2) author page shows 4 records, 2 that I do not have:

1. an extra copy of Stardust which I do not have
2. a title I don't remember ever cataloging, "The Neil Gaimam Reader: Selected Fiction (https://www.librarything.com/work/25402663).

If I had ever cataloged and deleted these records, that might be one bug I could understand. I don't know what's going on here.

Reporting this one to the developers. Will keep digging as needed.

>5 timspalding: many thanks! It’s rather annoying and I’m not a computer geek so it looks like some nasty magician has stolen my books! Lol!

Any updates on this? I'm using an IPhone 6SE. The app tells me I have 16 of Loretta Chase's books in my library. My computer tells me I have 17 . . . I just brought home a print copy of a book I already own because the app on my phone indicated did not yet own it. On my computer, the book is in my LT library. Thanks!

I know we're planning on doing an app update in the near future, although I'll need to hear back from conceptDawg on a closer timeline. (He's out until next week.) Thanks for your patience!
