  • Best option for book tracking hands down

    This is the best app for keeping track of your library. I have tried half a dozen other apps and each of them was missing something. This is the first one to actually have the features I want and it’s basically free to use as well. It supports barcode scanning and ISBN text recognition without having to change modes which makes it perfect for a collection that my have thrift store stickers covering the barcodes or hard bound books missing their slip covers. It also supports search by title and manual entry for more elusive titles.

    The only thing I wish this app had is support for movies as I have a large collection of movies on my shelf as well and I have yet to find an app as good as this to keep track of them. The only other feature I could think of to make this better is book cover recognition, but I doubt that’s possible and even if it is possible, I doubt it would be easy.

  • Best app for cataloging books

    I was in search of an app to let me catalog my books I own. I have multiple series and some series I have random books throughout the series. I wanted an app I could use to check and see what books I do or don’t have when I’m out and see a book by an author I love, yet I’m unsure if I own it. This is the app for that!! I was able to quickly scan all our books in with batch ISBN book scan. PERFECT for book lovers and book hoarders like myself. It even has features like what dates the book was read, cataloging them by series, and my personal favorite-who is borrowing the book! I have a few people who borrow my books so this is perfect for when I can’t remember if I own the book or not or if someone has just borrowed it. I even was able to make multiple shelves! One for my books, my husbands books, and one for my kindle books! Highly recommend.

  • Great app

    Great app - easy to use and don’t have to try and remember what I have already read when out buying new books!!
  • A great app, but one frustrating oversight

    On the whole I think this app is great. My use case is a bit limited — I like to track which Audible books I’ve listened to and when I started and finished them, and then rate them. When I add a book to a shelf and then edit the “Date started”, there is no simple way to make the iOS keyboard disappear and reveal the “Save” button. I have to click on another editable field that’s visible, then close out of that, so I can see the “Save” button. Sometimes I’ve messes this up and accidentally discarded my changes.

    So, great app, highly recommend, but I do hope the developers can fix this and make it easier to close out of editing a field with a simple tap somewhere.

  • Great app!

    The app is great, best I have seen and the creation team actually emails you back when you have questions. The books can be organized and tags added for finding themes. Definitely helps narrowing down which books I own for which lessons. Highly recommend!

    Much appreciate your feedback!
  • The perfect book App

    I love this app! I have gone from “real “ books to e books, back to “ real” books. I find it hard sometimes to keep track of what I have in either format, or just what I have on a shelf. This way I know exactly what I have, so I don’t buy unnecessarily. I like that I can look in one place at all that I have. Great idea! ♥️♥️

  • Easy access

    Love that I’m able to see all the books I have in my collection without having to physically go through it.
  • Perfect tracker

    Love the simplicity of this app; being able to just scan every book is so nice and then have it labeled to where my books are.
    When I moved last year I was able to track which box had what book while in storage.
    Very handy.
