## What is Books I Have Read?

Please observe that there might not be any new versions of this app.

Do you have a hard time keeping track of what books you have read? Is it difficult to remember what books you already have on your bookshelf? Do you forget what books your friends have recommended that you read? Do you forget to return borrowed books or do you find it difficult to get books back that you have lent out? This app helps you to keep track of all of the books you own, have read, wish to read, have borrowed or have lent. 

Use this app and
- remember all of the book recommendations you have received.
- remember which books, in the pile of books you bought half a year back, you still have not read.
- remember from whom you've borrowed books.
- remember to whom you've lent books.
- avoid reading the same book twice – unless you want to.

The app is straightforward and very easy to use. When adding a book, it is up to you how much information you want to enter. The book title only or just a picture of the cover may be enough for you. But of course it is possible to add so much more information about the books, as well as the ability to enter ratings.

Please note that this is not an eReader app.

### 5/5 — Good for keeping track

*2020-02-08*

This app has proved a great way of keeping a track of the books I have read.  However there appears to be a problem with down loading it from iCloud, is this the case?

**Developer response:** Hi,

Good that you like the app! The app in itself does not sync with iCloud. Could you please contact the support and describe your problem in more detail. You find the mail address on our home page.

### 3/5 — Good app but shy a few features

*2018-04-18*

Does what it promises and is helping me not buy again (and again) a book I have already read. Still, would be great to have some sort of import feauture, or at least a "paste" option, so that I didn't have to thumb the book title, author, etc

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2018-01-14*

I read the reviews and was leery about trying it. I read about 3 - 4 books per week and it is hard to remember what I have and have not read. This app is ideal. Not only does it keep track of the author and title but it has other things that you may like to keep track of such as rating the book and whether you borrowed it or own it. I have had no problems adding books at future dates or editing what I had already saved. I am now using the app and I have been able to ditch the pen and paper.

### 4/5 — Great app

*2017-02-11*

Love this app to keep track of my readings and wishlist. It would be cool if it had a synchronization with my IPad. Also, I have a bug when I want to add a photo (with Take photo option), the app crash and quit. (Not a big deal though, just pointing out for updates) Thanks. Great work.

### 1/5 — Not happy

*2016-12-28*

I have just downloaded this app at £0.79 and it's really poor.  The app crashes every time you try and take a photo of the cover, and it doesn't even connect to the internet to pull through any info.  Very time consuming and doesn't work!

### 2/5 — Not great

*2016-12-16*

Since the update you're no longer able to take a picture of the cover - this needs sorting out please!

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2016-10-10*

The app is nothing more than a note pad. You have to enter all info including taking the picture of the book cover and uploading yourself.

### 4/5 — Love the app

*2016-09-16*

Love the app but can't get it to download the list on my phone from my iPad
