    Has Readerware corporation gone out of business?

    Date: Feb 05 2026

    Summary: It just abut makes me sick to think that the company may have quietly gone out of business. I can still use the software, but I have to hand-type the information on each title.

    Positive: I have been using Readerware for 12+ years, currently running Release 4.1. It does what I need to track my library items, at least until this past Sunday.

    Negative: On Sunday Feb 1 I could not use the auto-catalog feature; the software reported it could not get to wherever it goes to look up the book data when I enter the ISBN. When I tried to go to the Readerware website, I got a "we can't find that" message. Anyplace I've spotted that purports to offer RW downloads has a Release number lower than what I'm currently running.

    Readerware Customer Support Lacking

    Date: Dec 12 2025

    Summary: No customer support despite the website claiming that they will provide support. I paid for the upgrade for the version 4 bundle but did not receive the registration codes yet. It has been over a week so far.

    Positive: Over all it is a good product. I started with the version 3 bundle and later tried version 4. But I am unable to get any response from customer support.

    Negative: I am unable to get the registration codes after paying for the upgrade for the version 4 bundle. I sent two emails but got no response from the company. I am very frustrated and disappointed with Readerware's lack of support. I am unable to use the software without the registration codes.
