Not great
Scanned 30 books the isbn reader only managed to read 12, what’s the point?
Best I could find
I’ve got several thousand books that I’ve collected over the years. I had them in a database perhaps 20 years ago which crashed. It’s taken me thus long to get over that failure and get my collection organized. I reviewed multiple “best” lists for book collecting and this app was the best. What seemed unique was that I could add pictures of the actual book in the collection. For some reason most, or all, either didn’t allow pictures, or only one picture could be used. This app now appears to be the gold standard with book collections.

Love this app but there are some bugs
I love this app, I can take pictures of my books, organize them pretty much however I like, as well as change the organization easily. It helps me know exactly what I have, making it easy when I go book shopping what I have or need.
There are a few annoying bugs in the app. Sometimes when I am putting in a new books info it changes to another book I have already put it! I don’t understand how this happens but it has occurred several times. I’m working down the list of info and them some I haven’t entered is already filled in, then I scroll to the top and see that I am now altering a previous book entry. So I have to back out without saving changes so not to alter a current entry and start over. Also when downloading the app on my tablet I see that several of my entries (originally set up on my phone) have reverted back to their original images from a chosen book entry, instead of the ones I changed them too (but only on my tablet, the images on my phone are correct) So I had to go in through my tablet and change/add the photos again.
However I am enjoying the app and hoping that these small programing errors will be fixed in the future.

Very good but annoying at times…
Very good apps but sometimes, when I scan the ISBN, it comes up with LabStar health products!??????
Book inventory
This is the second app that I’ve got from SortIt. And really appreciate keeping my collections in order. And with the new updates, it makes it easier to add books.
Nice but has bugs
I love this app. However when I scanned a book, save it all and come back to it later to modify something (like the personnal ratings), the picture disappear, even though I either add it myself while scanning the book or after or if it came up automatically with the ISBN code. I save everything when I modify something but somehow the pic disappear for no reason. Also: whenever I want to scan a french book, I need to enter the code manually. Since french is my first language and I have a LOT of french books, it’s a lot of work and exhausting.

Don’t update!!!!
Just updated to latest version and went on to app only to find it EMPTY and all my books gone. And then forcing me to register.
There was no warning of this in the update.
I’ll go find another app now, won’t be using this one again.

Better and Better
I have been using iCollect Books for several years. I have no shelf control which means many books come into my collection. I love the organization of this app and the way I can quickly see “wait, don’t I have that book already?!” Just by opening up the app and quickly searching the titles. Highly recommend this app for anyone who loves books!

A Life Saver!
As a teacher, I need to keep an inventory of the more than 1500 books in my classroom, almost two thirds of them mine. This app has been a life saver, making the process fast and efficient. The app database has had 95% of the books already in it, and being able to add books by an ISBN scan saves so much time.

Great App
I’ve been happy with app for a number of years & for a variety of reasons. Firstly, it’s user friendly & I find it easy to keep track of all the books that I’ve read. I also like the apps rating system. I have tried other apps in the past but they were not as user friendly.
