Great little app

I love this app as def helps me not only remember the authors I like but entering all books I read (or don’t complete as not enjoying them) I can check at a glance my rating. Only feature I would like added is Library to denote borrowed books. Currently I add Library in the Loaned To section.

Best book tracker ever!!

I have used BookBuddy for several years now, and it is an invaluable aid for me to keep track of the books that I purchased, check out and read, or simply want to have listed so that I can check them out later on. I use it mostly to record the books that I have in my collection that I intend to read or library books that I bring home and read. It also allows me to keep track of books. I may have loaned out or have donated. An absolutely stellar app to have on your phone. I recommend it to all my book reading friends.

My Go To Library In My Pocket

Never again do I have to get home to figure out whether or not I have a book in my TBR library. The whole list is in my pocket and easy to use. I love the scan barcode feature for adding books.

Love It

This is a fast and easy way to keep track of your books !

Love this app!

I’ve been using the bookbuddy app for about 4-6 months now and I absolutely love it! This app has some great features such as: being scanning books into app by barcode, having read/unread/unfinished options, making tags for books and sectioning books by author, genre, etc… I use this app daily and love being able to view all my titles on my phone, makes it super easy when I go out and purchase other books. I am constantly recommending this app to everyone I know that reads!
