## What is BookBuddy?

Your entire reading life, beautifully organized.

BookBuddy is the reading companion you didn't know you needed — a sleek, intelligent app that brings together your personal library, your social reading circle, and AI-powered discovery into one seamless experience.

Your Library, Your Way
Build your personal library and track every book you own, are reading, or have finished. Rate and review your reads, add notes, and filter your collection by genre, author, or reading status. Finally, a home for every book you've ever loved.


AI Picks Made for You
No more decision fatigue. BookBuddy's AI studies your taste and surfaces a daily hand-picked recommendation — not a generic bestseller list, a book chosen specifically for you. The more you read, the smarter it gets.


Read Together
Reading is better with friends. Follow your reading circle, see what they're finishing and loving, share your wishlist, and discover books through the people whose taste you trust most. Because the best book recommendation still comes from someone who knows you.


Lend Without Losing
We all have that one book that never came back. BookBuddy's loan tracker lets you record who borrowed what, set due dates, and keep tabs on your collection — so your books actually come home.


Wishlist & Buy Instantly
Spotted a book you need to own? Add it to your wishlist and buy directly from Amazon in one tap. Your to-read pile will thank you.

### 3/5 — App freezes

*2025-09-26*

App freezes randomly with new isbn entries. Requires closing apps and reentry. Also, unable to add some books to my library

### 2/5 — Seems a bit broken

*2024-12-01*

Has a lot of promise but struggles on the scanning and entering books into library part. Often can’t scan barcodes and once they are scanned or you enter the isbn number manually it doesn’t recognise the book. Hopefully will get fixed at some point?

### 5/5 — Love!!

*2024-03-24*

Very nice app for someone that’s always reading!! Already added all my books to my library and the recommendations are good

**Developer response:** Thank you for the amazing review! We hope you continue to enjoy our app!
