  • Fantastic Book Database

    This is one of my favorite apps. I have never had problems with it and it is very flexible with lots of fields and a pleasure to use. Much time can be saved when you are entering a new book because the database will find similar books for you to choose from to complete your entry. There is a multitude of different ways to catalog your books to search for them and update them.I would highly recommend this application for anybody that wants to track books or audiobooks.

  • Very satisfied with CLZ Books

    I have been using the CLZ Books app on my iPhone and iPad for a few months now. I have a book collection of just over 1000 books in the system. I have found that the app has plenty of fields for lots of details about the books. While I have used it, the developer has continued to add more information / fields through updates. The app (and the web-based system behind it) allows me to keep everything current across my devices. I am very pleased with the system. I had a few questions early on as I was getting set up and the developer got back to me very quickly with the info I needed. Highly recommended!

  • Awesome App!

    Been a user since 2005 and can’t say enough good things about this company. I have over 3K books and can put as much info about each book as I want, then search by almost any criteria. I can keep track of what I have, what I want to buy, sell, or trade; condition, what it’s worth, anything! Sort by Author, Genre, Title, again...anything! I thought the app was great when I first bought it, but with all of the improvements over the years, it’s turned into absolutely fantastic. Enter a book on my home computer and it automatically updates in my phone and visa-versa.
    Well worth the money. Thank you Alwin & Co!

  • BookCollector App

    I LOVE LOVE LOVE my BookCollector program and am always recommending it! I can open the app and add a new book to my 4500+ book collection in just a few seconds! I can look up a book in my library wherever I am! I think the pricing is very reasonable for all the easy usability but also customizable functionality of the PC based program. It is probably my favorite program of all time! They are always tweaking it and they really care about the customers, but by now I think it is pretty perfect. I can add my personal notes on my books to jog my memory. I’ve been using the program for many years (since 2014?). Did I mention that I LOVE IT?!!

  • Simple and effective

    I have had this app for years. (I should mention that I have their movie and music apps too.) I find them to be simple to use if you want to stay simple but still have the ability to make it as detailed as you could need. I found this app to be particularly helpful because I stored my books/media (it does audio books too) in two locations. This helped me to track exactly where they were and/or if I had loaned them out to any of my friends/family. Also, by having my data synced on my home PC as well as the phone, I knew it was always up to date. When I’m out scrounging through garage sales, I can always check my phone to know if I’ve got the book I’m looking at and whether it’s a paperback or hardcover version. I highly recommend this app.

  • Extends my memory so I stop buying duplicates

    I love this app. It pairs with the desktop and cloud so I can track what books I have already read, or what number in the series I am on, or whether I have been waiting for more from an author.

    I treat it as my extended memory. After accidentally buying a couple duplicates years ago, I went looking for something like this. At first it was only available on the desktop, but after a while, they put out this app and now I love having the ability to use it whenever I have a question.

    I also sometimes use it to add books to my collection when I am traveling. Makes it easy.

    Have’t needed much support with it either. Once maybe when changing phones, or updating after a long time. Good web site and response, and useful info on the site itself. Very practical.

  • Great way to keep track of your books

    I have hundreds of books and I can’t remember what I have and where they are. This app has proved to be a perfect way to keep track. It is easy to enter each book into your database (most new books can be scanned in using your smartphone camera). You can devise a location system so you know exactly where each book is. If you loan a book out you can even log who has it. You can rate your books, log when you read it, where you purchased it and for how much, and so much more. When I am in a bookstore I can easily check if I already have a book I’m thinking of purchasing. I can’t say enough good things about how useful this app is!

  • Excellent, very useful

    After buying another copy of a book that was already in my collection, it was time to get organized. CLZ books not only prevents future instances of that, but also enables me to keep track when I loan a book to others. Plus it enables me to make notes about particular books or authors. The app is frequently updated, and has versions for my PC, phone and web which synchronize. All & all, a very worthwhile tool for anyone who wishes to organize their personal library.

  • Keep track of your books!

    Review III(2021)
    I wish I could give this app 10 stars! The creators are constantly improving and adding features. I’ve never had it fail or crash, and it has all the data points that a retired Librarian could hope for. The only thing I would add is an easy way to record how many times one has read a book, since I am a big re-reader. Great stuff, quality customer service. Keep up the good work!

    Review II
    I have used this app for several years after many other trials that did not work well and I must say I have had the best customer service any time I have a suggestion or find an issue. As a book collector I depend on it to show me my existing collection as well as any library books I may read, when I am out at the bookstore. The new ability to separate into collections is great! I have books in boxes and now I don’t have to view them when looking at my collection list. Keep up the good work!

    Review I
    I love this app. Could it improve? Yes, but overall awesomeness is present.

  • Catalogued over 3000 books

    CLZ Books is working so well for us. We have used it to catalog over 3,000 books in our church library. It has taken us a couple of months but we have been able to entirely eliminate our physical card catalog. We can post a link on our Facebook page so that people can see what books are available in the library. They can search and sort but they can’t change any of the data. We still use, and probably always will, the physical envelope and cards in the books. People can sign the book out using the card and we check the book out in the app so that we can keep track of what books are borrowed.

    The ability to search and sort books is the feature we like most. You can sort based on any category.

    The cost of using this app and the online website is minimal. I can’t imagine ever needing any other app to organize our extensive library.

    There are continual app updates. They are always working to make it better. New features are added all the time. You will not be disappointed with this app or the online database.

    Customer service is excellent. They usually respond to any issue or question within one day.
