Disappointed
I read all the reviews except for the other iPhone 7 user. I have the same problem. 20 books and no more.
Very useful
It's a very useful app. You can manage it very easily. I have used several apps like this and for me this is the best. It's worth a shot.
Simply solves this common problem
This app should have been built long ago. The ISBN scanner is very useful. Only comment - I would add more info on the book once it's recognized by the app. Wikipedia link? Cover pictures?
Needs work
iPhone 7 - crashes every time I use it after I loaded about 20 books to the point it's no longer useful. It read the ISBN numbers but didn't autofill the rest of the info for about 1/3 of them.
Response from developer
Thanks for your feedback qlrlkng. It's a strange one - there was never an intentional limit in the system, so it must have been a strange bug that you encountered. Perhaps the latest version resolved this for you?
App about book
a great app. I use this app to manage my books. Good job.
Helpful for book management
This app is very useful for book tracking and management. Recommended it for every reader.
Great basic app, very simple
This is a great, simple app but unfortunately doesn't have some of the features I need. Design is nice, the barcode scanner works great, and the search function is fast and accurate.
But there are a couple of problems. One, there is no way to sort books other than title and author - not even whether the book is read or unread. Leaving the star rating blank would be a way to show you haven't read the book, but there's no way to do that either- a star rating seems to be required. Second, when sorting by author it appears to sort on first name rather than last name (which actually isn't a deal breaker since usually if I know the authors last name, I also know their first name, it's just kind of odd). But most importantly if you can't access the bar code, there is no lookup feature. If you can scan a bar code, the app very neatly fills in the title and author fields for you. But if the cover is torn or there's a price tag over the bar code or for whatever reason you can't scan the bar code, it would be nice if you could type in the title or the ISBN number and have it do a lookup to fill in the other fields. The only way I could find to add a book with an inaccessible bar code was to type it all in by hand.
That said, if you just want a simple list of books you own, this is a great app. I guess I just have to keep looking for something a bit more fully featured, or hope the developers do some more work on this one.

Thanks for your detailed review with some great ideas for improving the app. I'll be looking at implementing some in future.
Awesome
Use this app to track your books. It's so easy you just scan the isbn number
Great Book Cataloging App!
I like how simple this app is, no unnecessary clutter or ads! The barcode, ISBN, scanner works great and even provides a book thumbnail image. My only recommendation is to remove the pre populated book titles that show up when you first open the app, it was a little confusing why they were there and no easy way to remove them without swiping each one. Maybe add a clear all button. Overall a very useful app! 👍🏻
