### 5/5 — So Happy to Have a thorough list of our items

*2026-07-24, version 9.9.19*

This is a user friendly way of compiling a very simple or complex list of all of your books.

### 1/5 — So many issues!!

*2026-07-19, version 9.9.19*

This app has so many issues. It never works correctly. I paid for the lifetime membership and all I’ve had is nothing but issues. I can’t scan my books in my book don’t load. It keeps telling me I’m not connected to the Internet and now I have to find something else to take this apps place because this app is not living up to it, but am I gonna get my money back?

### 5/5 — A great place to keep track of my books!!

*2026-07-18, version 9.9.19*

I love this app.  I have a bad habit of buying many books. Keeping in a spreadsheet was a pain.  ICollect Books lets me just scan the barcode and it fills in all the details.  It even tells me if I already have a copy, which helps to know before purchasing.  Great sorting features too.  Definitely a keeper.

### 2/5 — Price

*2026-07-12, version 9.9.19*

Way too expensive an app. Annoyed my husband paid for it.

### 1/5 — Wrong the book showed up when I entered the ISBN

*2026-06-12, version 9.9.19*

The very first book I scanned, came up with the correct cover for the book. I am scanning, the description is for the wrong book. I’m scanning a vintage sunset book called kingdoms for kids, but the description of the book that comes up is for a story, not a how to, something completely different. I don’t know if that’s because I’m scanning a vintage book and maybe a newer book has taken over the ISPN? But I’m not able to edit the entry. I am able to edit the title of the book, but not the authors, and not the description. If this app is going to be useless for my vintage sunset books, useless to me in general because I’m mainly scanning vintage books.

### 4/5 — Book inventory

*2026-05-31, version 9.9.17*

This is the second app that I’ve got from SortIt. And I enjoy it and to keep my books organized.

### 5/5 — Great for keeping track of books

*2026-03-17, version 9.8.0*

I love this app for keeping track of my books because sometimes I forget which one I already have in a series and it’s nice to just be able to open my phone and be like ok I already have that one. Especially since I read a lot of manga. 🤣

### 2/5 — Meh.

*2026-03-13, version 9.8.0*

The scanning is clunky, but you can add pretty much any information you want.

### 2/5 — Wishlist

*2026-01-12*

Would be better if wishlist meant not in your collection- so zero count instead of one as default.

### 5/5 — Multiple book purchases

*2026-01-08, version 9.7.5*

I am so thrilled that I have this app on my phone.  It has enabled me to almost completely stop me from buying multiple copies of the same book over the years.  I say almost cause the times I buy the same book that I have is due to the fact that I don’t check my list before I purchase “said” book, but I’m getting better at remembering to check my list of books.
