Perfect!
Fantastic! Just scan the barcode and it adds the book with cover. Perfect for tracking your books in your library! Never accidentally buy the same books twice again!
Hope to improve
When I use edit to add book text information, the pictures previously stored in this reading record app picture app will automatically disappear.
Simple and easy to use app with room to grow
This is a clean, straightforward app that’s very easy to use for cataloguing books. One downside is that the book covers found through the app are often low quality. Thankfully, you can replace them manually, but this can become quite tedious if you have a larger library.
A big feature I’d love to see added is a rating or star system, so I could rate my books (e.g. 4.5 stars, 3 stars, etc.) like I can in other apps. That’s the main area where the app currently feels like it is lacking. Also I would like to be able to track what page I am on in books I am currently reading. Overall though, it’s a solid app with good potential.
Edit: thank you, I’m loving the rating and logging systems that have been implemented, I think it would be helpful to see my book ratings on the ‘catalog’ main page for the rated books and having half stars as well would make the ratings even more accurate.

Just what I needed!
I love how it helps me remember what I own and sparks great conversations when I’m chatting books with friends. Simple, smart, and genuinely delightful to use.
Warning: Users Update Catalogue
This is a good tool to catalogue and organize your books. A few criticisms. The app relies on the users to update the catalogue. That means if someone is lazy putting in a book, you have to update it on your end when you scan in the same book for yourself. Considering the fact that all books have ISBNs I would think scanning a book would garner complete information from the internet.
Speaking of ISBNs, why are we not able to look up a book via their ISBN? I own special edition books that don’t have a scannable ISBN on the back. It would be nice to be able to type in the ISBN in the search bar and get the book. Of course nothing will come up if no one has ever entered it but I can dream.
Also, if you read indie authors as often as I do, be prepared to enter in all of the details yourself when you scan them.
