Amazing app
Really great app - brilliant to have information on my book collection in one place.
It would be useful to have options for individual collections. I would like to sort some by title and others by author. This would be a great addition!

Love the app!!
Using the free version to catalogue my books and to be more focused on actually reading them. The app will also help track my reading goal for this year.
I would like to be able to put the same book in more than one category.

It could look better
While it’s fine just listing titles, I would much rather be able to see the covers of my books! It’s hard to remember a book sometimes just based off its title but seeing the cover of it reminds me about it right away! Also for the listings too, I personally categorize by authors, and seeing no difference in change of category when selecting is kinda bothersome. For example it’s still a bunched up list and there no brackets to separate them by letter.
With the negatives out of the way here are my positives! I love how easy it is to scan a book and find it, as well as being able to manually put in the barcode. I am also really impressed by the books limit for this free app! 5000 is a rather high number and I appreciate that 😂👍
That’s all I have to say, if there was a way to change the visual formatting to be more aesthetically pleasing I would greatly appreciate it :]

So much promise, but a little stagnant/limited
I've had Libib for years, and quite like it. The UI is really nice, the ability to catalogue using collections is useful, you can import/add a variety of ways, and Irene’s added from the search function can be edited (which is very handy).
However, it is also a little limited with a basic function seemingly absent. The service advertises the ability to have ‘mixed media’ collections, but in reality this is simply a limited selection of broad categories, identifying an item as either a book, movie, music, or video game. It would be much better to be able to have a format field in each item record. For example, books would have paper back, hardback, ebook, audio book, magazine/periodical, etc; music would have vinyl, CD, cassette etc.
Users lose basic features when accessing via iOS, like the ability to view cover pages in list (that becomes a pro feature) and as an item from the Libib database. As a user that began on the web interface, that’s annoying.

Very quick and easy to use
I was able to create a catalogue of over 300 books in just a few hours. Really happy that I can export the list and use it in Excel, but also think the website and app are user friendly and visually appealing.
Would like better functionality when working with duplicate books but otherwise I think it’s good.

holy shizzle
girlie pops, if i could give this more than five stars i would. this has saved me HUNDREDS of dollar ‘cause when i’m out i can just whip this bad boy out, scan the back of whatever product & see if i have it already. i love whoever created this literally marry me you’re the best💛💛💛
Finally
Finally a barcode scan app that does what I want. It’s intuitive to use and it’s free. Thank you.
Simply scan books, cds and dvds —> automatically identify them —> add to a collection —> export the collection to excel.
It seemed like a simple request but there were sooo many terrible apps that could not deliver this.

Just got so can’t really give it more stars yet.
I just got this app and so far it seems good. There are a few changes I would make on the app. 1. When you are looking at each page you have created like books for example it would be nice to see the book icon there next to the title of the book. 2. It would be nice to see my books in a shelf form instead of a list. That way I am looking at the cover of the book instead of a list of books. 3. It would be wonderful if you could add board games to this app. We have a ton of games, puzzles, and the like and there is not a app to put everything all together with my books and video games and movies. It would be great to just be able to open one app and have it all there. This coming from a person who has at least 600 books, 200 video games, 200 movies and 300 board games. Will update with more stars if they are warranted.

Convenience & Ease (w/ a few suggestions)
The scan bar search and library base is about 90% successful. Many of my SKUs are rare, limited, or imported, so at 90% I’m not complaining. BMG Direct, Columbia House, TimeLife, and similar CD/DVD items are not recognized. They were never intended as “retail” SKUs and that’s probably why Libib doesn’t recognize them. So, you have to input those manually. The ability to customize or manually input items may be time consuming, but at least you have that option! I like the “cover photo” option for obscure or unlisted items so I can add my own photo. The biggest feature that would be nice to have is the song titles for each album. But the user CAN copy and paste those in from elsewhere, which is a plus. Lastly, a print option and more filters would be ideal. Overall, I really enjoy this app and recommend it to anyone with a large music collection.
