Good book tracking app. Only a few things I would change
I’ve downloaded a few of these apps to see which is the most user friendly. This was one I ended up keeping because it had most of the things I was looking for. Love that it has the statistics for books read and not read. I really enjoy the way it’s set up as well. Really easy to use. The only reason I didn’t rate it 5 stars is because the scanner is not the best. It takes a bit for it to actually scan the book which gets a bit frustrating. Also the fact that I can’t add multiples of the same book. I am a book collector and some books I have multiple copies of. So being able to scan one book several times would be helpful. Other than that it’s a great app and if you don’t have multiples it will work for what you want.Show lessJax_21

Hi, thanks for your feedback. The scanner itself is fast, but the waiting time depends on the book that you're searching for. We connect to multiple databases to ensure we find as many books as we possibly can. For "common" books the overall search time should be very fast. We agree with your suggestion about number of copies and will try to improve this going forward. Best wishes!Very Happy
My wife and I have been using this app for a few days to organize our extensive home library and the libraries of my office, parents house, and my grandma’s house. We couldn’t be more happy. We’ve only used a short while but cataloging by multiple tags per book and then by ‘bookshelf’ location is fantastic. Batch adding by scanning is great and works great. Manual add is easy for old books. The search feature seems to work very good. We will be buying the developer many cups of coffee (an option in the app to support the developer of the all) as we continue to use this app. Did I mention it’s all completely free?!Show lesskstrengholt
Really great!
Great interface and easy to use!
Hoping in a later update that:
You will be able to add a publish date that includes just the year and not the day or month, as many books only have a publish year only, but currently you have to add a day and month too if you want to add a year.
Search for books in the search section by publisher, illustrator, and most other categories - at the moment if I try to search for a publisher in my book collection it will not show any results.
In the ‘contributors’ section it is missing an ‘Introduction by’ section alongside all the others as many classic literature books have an introduction by a recent author or contributor.Show lessBlueBird292929

Hi, thanks for your feedback. We like your ideas and we added them in the latest update (v 1.2.8). We hope you will like it :)Awesome Book Organizing App
I would recommend this to any book lover and book collector, or anyone that simply wants to keep track of what books they do and don’t have! I finally know which books I have in collections and which ones I still need to buy! This is by far the best app for book organization that I’ve seen or used! Beats the socks off of Goodreads in my humble opinion!Show lessReader4Ever8
Great app
I really love the batch scan feature books . I have hundreds of books so it really saved me some time . I have a suggestion. Is there a way to add alert to the person that I lent my book to ? For example . When I type in who I lent the book too have a section to add their cell number . Then 2 days before it’s due it will automatically send them a text message from my phone or from the app that says “ your book is due please return your book to (insert name’s ) library . Also when I’m using the app on my iPad And I’m manually entering a book it won’t allow me to see what I’m typing . I really really love this app . I’m so grateful !!!Show lessMargelovesyou
