### 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

### 4/5 — Works Great!

*2016-06-05*

Once I figured it out. In the All mode you have to hit the plus sign in upper right. Simple to use, fun to see your list grow. You can even add pictures of the cover.

### 3/5 — could be better

*2015-03-27*

A good way to store info on books you have read and complete a library, but unfortunately should have feature to recommend book based on your favourites and also should be able to upload images of covers from the internet, rather than photograph each cover yourself.

### 3/5 — Could be easier

*2014-08-12*

If there were a way to access lists of books written by a certain author, then this app would be so much easier to use.  Simply click the books you've read. 
As is, you must enter all the info one at a time, even if entering multiple books for one author.  However, still better than no app at all.

### 4/5 — Love this app

*2014-07-23*

Great app.  Easy to use.  Even though you have to input the data yourself, it offers an organized way to keep up with books read, ones you've downloaded but haven't read etc.

Only fault is the inability to print.  REALLY wish I could print the list.

### 4/5 — Useful app

*2014-03-19*

Like that you can add picture off book.

### 4/5 — Book lover

*2012-11-07*

It is a nice way to keep track of your reading library. Its a pain to manually input the information but after you do it's a good look for your books. The upgrade could add new features

### 3/5 — Nicht schlecht

*2012-04-19*

Eigentlich ziemlich genau, was ich 
suche! Aber es gibt keinen Barcode-scanner 😒!  Wär ein Endlosjob, wenn man alle Bücher manuell eingeben muss! Könnt ihr den bitte noch einbauen? Dann gibts auch 5 Sterne!

### 2/5 — Disappointing

*2011-09-09*

I downloaded this app presuming it had a bar code scanner like the others, it doesn't. Also, I don't want to link with Facebook but clicking the 'log out from facebook' button doesn't do anything. Very disappointing.

### 3/5 — Getting there...

*2011-07-17*

This is a good app. It will help me keep my books straight. It would be helpful if I could scan the hatchets to add books in.

### 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!

### 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.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2016-04-18*

This app does nothing.

### 1/5 — Behind technology

*2014-01-01*

Cannot share my books on FB. Only one at a time.

### 1/5 — Books I have read

*2013-12-27*

Extremely poorly organized. No info on how to use the app. You've got my .99 ........congrats thieves
Don't bother !!M!!!M!!

### 1/5 — Don't waste your money!!

*2012-07-30*

Bought this app and added a couple of books and seemed to work fine. Went back a couple of weeks later and unable to add any new books as the 'add'  + icon is suddenly missing rendering the app completely useless!!

### 1/5 — Dumb

*2011-07-27, version 1.0*

It dosent let u read books it just let's you say if u like them i would give it 0 stars if I could

### 1/5 — No search option

*2011-07-18*

.

### 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!

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2023-05-31*

What a great app. Simple to use review and update. Get it.

### 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.

### 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.

### 5/5 — Books I Have Read

*2014-09-16*

I love this app. You can enter the books you read and sort them by date, author, title and your rating. I went back to 2009 and entered all my books read every year forward. At the end of the year I enter the number of books that I read that year, as an entry. That way I keep track of my reading from year to year. Well worth the price. Maybe capitalizing the titles would be a nice addition. I highly recommend this app.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2014-02-17*

Easy to use. Perfect way to catalogue my books and keep track of what I already own, so I don't keep buying duplicates.

### 5/5 — Amazing App!

*2013-12-18*

This app makes it super easy to organize and keep track of which books you have read, want to read and books that you want to buy. I use it all the time to write down any good looking books I may want to read in the future.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2013-09-07*

This is a great app, I have been looking for something like this for a long time. One idea I have for improvement is to add a search link under the cover photo section so when clicked it will search images on the web for the cover image so u can add them to ur book library.

### 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.

### 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

### 4/5 — Finally!!!

*2016-07-08*

I am always SO stressed when I go to a book store as I cannot remember what I have already read!! Very excited to finally have this tool. I will give 5 stars when my iPhone app syncs with what I have been storing on my iPad app thus far...........
