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!

Book Buddy

Love this app.

Need help!

I LOVE this app-after I downloaded it and made the purchase, my wife also downloaded and bought the app. It’s a great way to keep track of your books and reading stats. My online gripe is that it does not accurately count the pages that are read. Example: it took 12 days for me to complete a book (longest book ever). I typically finish books out before the end of the month. This book carried over until August 1st. Because I finished the book August 1st, it assigned the entire page count to August 1st and I received no credit for pages read in that book for the previous month. There has to be a way to fix this….

Best Tracking App Hands Down! 😍😍

I just recently got back into reading after many years of not picking up a single book. For me buying books and reading are two separate hobbies, I tend to buy Kindle books, physical books and Audiobooks, to the point that it was getting really hard not to buy duplicate books. I was looking for an App that would help me keep track of all my books and OMG this App does exactly that!
I first started creating four categories (Kindle, Audiobooks , Physical and Kindle Borrowed), then I started adding my Audiobooks (you can add as many details as you want, like Narrators, tags, notes, etc), then proceeded with Kindle and then with the Physical Books (this was the most exciting as you can scan the barcodes one by one or multiple at the same time). Now I have a list of all my books, it has an option to “Pick a Random Book” if you wanna make your next read a surprise. You can organize by Series, the Volume # (which helps me identify the series that I have incomplete) .
I also paid the $10 for the lifetime membership (best money spent). Yes, it took me a bit longer to add all of the books (since I had many Audiobooks and Kindle) but the Physical (all 96 of them, only took me less than 1 hour). Overall I have 200 books 😬 and now Im going to build my Wishlists for the books that I would like to get in the future.
If you’re looking for a Book Tracker to keep yourself organized, this is the ONE!

Intuitive

I gave up on another app (I actually paid for it) it was difficult to use and could not find any "how to" instructions. Bought this one and it is SO EASY to add books!! A+A+A I love this app!

Good Tracker Overall

I wanted an easy way to keep track of the books I’ve read and my rating. This is an easy way to track. The one downside that I found with the app is that you can’t add multiple “finished dates” on a single book. I like to track how many I read a year. Without this option, I have to have multiple entries of the same book

Love this app

This app helps me keep track of my books and authors.

Classroom Library

Love this app! So easy to use and it allows you to sort and find books in your library fast!

Great App

This is very helpful to keep up with your inventory. I would love to see a few updates: digital/physical/audio versions, books on order, TBR, wish list, currently reading/want to read/finished and even update opinions would be great options

Book lover

I love everything about this app

Awesome

I am so impressed how easy it is to scan and also manually download books! I tried a couple other apps before I found this one and I wasn’t impressed. They were confusing. Thank you for this great app!

Wish I had found this years ago

I considered a number of options, but ultimately decided on this one. I have entered over 200 books so far, and am pleased with the process. About half the books are older, and must be entered manually. I recently discovered bulk editing is possible, so that will make the job a little faster going forward. I have noticed that when entering the isbn (rather than scanning a barcode) sometimes the publisher or other fields don’t match the book I have.

Searching online works reasonably well, except for older books. Recent versions show up, but almost everything needs to be adjusted- it’s easier just to enter manually

Suggestions
Some of my books have a library of congress number rather than an ISBN- it would be helpful if there was a place for that, and an option to use it instead.

Overall, I definitely recommend this app, and suggest you start using it right away, before you acquire any more books 🙂

Great app

I got this to keep track of my books and E- books. I kept buying duplicate books. Now I no longer have that problem.
I love this app

Alphabetical Order

*And now I’m a 5 ⭐️* I really wish there was a way to put the books in alphabetical order by last name.

SCAM

I have scanned over 20 books now and ZERO isbn info has been found. They have stolen my $9.99.

Fantastic!

You do need to upgrade for a small fee but it’s not a subscription it’s just a one time charge and you can then proceed to catalog all of your books! The scanning works perfectly! Just all around awesome.

The best book inventory app

BookBuddy is a wonderful app and it allows for me to maintain a clean inventory for all of the books I own. Once in a while I need to manually add in a book that it doesn’t recognize, but it’s an easy task to do. I highly recommend the app.

Love this app

I’ve been using this for a couple years now. Very easy to use. I have had maybe a handful not scan and need manual input. I will say I wish I could also track my book sub boxes with this! It would be so much easier

Disappointed

I originally wanted a different app. The one I wanted does not show up on Apple App Store. This was top of the list as a close related app. Was disappointed that half my books I scanned. I had to go back and enter in manually anyways save yourself the time in trouble and just get Handy library from Google.
