Solid 4.5 or 4.75
It’s not a full five stars even though that’s what I marked on the star rating since I can’t do half or quarters. It’s an amazing app and really helps me keep track of what books and movies I already own so I don’t end up with duplicates unless I’m looking at a standard copy versus a special edition copy. It’s a bit of a struggle to find some of my books at moments if I don’t use the correct terms as it tries to give me others that I’m not looking for. I love that I can add tags so I know what’s a signed copy and other details. The one downside is having to add images for some of my books as it doesn’t always pull them automatically. This is fine for the books I have to hand enter but the books I can just scan the barcode it kinda sucks. I do enjoy the web aspect that allows for quick edits too.

Great app
Giving it a 4 only because some of the older books it doesn’t recognize the barcode/book so you have to type it in manually. Otherwise great app! I’ve organized all of my books and my kids books for all of us were at a total of 593 books so it’s definitely hard keeping track of what we already have.

ISBN Only Search Limit
In attempting to catalog my library I’ve made it through 1 1/2 shelves and half of the books Libib couldn’t find by ISBN. There is no other way to search for and add a book besides manually entering information. With 46 shelves to go, I will not be moving forward with this app.
Could be better
Prior to the most recent update, the app could use some additional features- to be able to filter by year of when books were finished, to be able to scroll or select letters on the side to find books by the first letter. Some cons- sometimes the cover of the book does not show when adding a book. When you manually add a cover picture - there’s no way to zoom in on the picture. With the newest update, I haven’t been able to add the picture of the cover because it says “unable to connect to server”. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a good app, but there could be better feature additions to make it better.
And please fix the server so I can add the cover photo, since it doesn’t always appear.

Lost My Data
The app makes cataloging books simple, but about 1/3 of my books have disappeared. I contacted the company, and they said they have no way to get it back.
I love this App
I absolutely love this app because I can categorize all the books in my personal library. I wish it had a “location” tab (think card catalog) so I can find my books easier.
The other suggestion would be to use (merge) an app like Speecjfy so that one could read the books in his/her personal collection.
But, it is super easy to use and the scan feature works incredibly well.

Scanner doesn’t work!
Tried to use the app to scan my books and catalogue my library. Immediately didn’t register 4 out of the 5 books I scanned. They are brand new so there isn’t anything wrong with them.
Perfect for your physical media collection
I use it to see which movies I have and it’s perfect! I love that it’s all free no matter how big your collection is. I recommend.
Not enough collections!
I have my Authors under collections and then add my books under that. And I only got about half of my books scanned and I got the alert that no more Collections available.
Long time user
I have been using this app for at least a year to keep track of my books. I was tired of purchasing a duplicate copy or not sure if I have the hard copy or soft. Great when it works. Keep getting the can’t connect to server error. It is happening more frequently now. Thinking of finding a new app. If I can’t access it it’s not very useful. Plus I collect vintage books and always have to hand enter the books.

Personal librarian
I found out about this app on TikTok from user mxkaya2.0 and I was like let me see what it’s about because I hoard books and constantly buy stuff and forget what I already have. This app is SO easy to use and honestly it’s so satisfying to scan in the books, it makes the experience of owning these many books much more like a library (which is my goal!) The app also tells you exactly how many books you have and for personal use it’s free!! You can use your phone camera to scan the book barcodes to catalog your collection and you can use it for much more than just books. I love this app!

Love it!
The scanner made it so easy and so did the manual barcode entry. All my books are finally cataloged and I know what I have so when I buy more books I’m not rebuying the same book which I’ve almost did a couple times.
One change I’d make, otherwise perfect!
I love this app and have been using it for my personal library for years. I used to manage a huge spreadsheet of all the different books and genres that I own, but Libib makes it easy to just scan an ISBN barcode and automatically add to the category of your choosing.
The one change I’d like is to have a feature for noting what books you’ve lent out, like a library. I’ve lent books to friends and family over the years and it would be nice to track which books are where through the Libib app. Otherwise, a perfect app for cataloging your own library!

Libib
Brilliant free App just scan the barcode of any physical media and it adds it for you.
multi select
awesome but I just want to be able to multi select items and add them to a tag instead of individually tagging them as that takes ages
Almost perfect
Almost a perfect book app. I just wish they had features that would let you track books and movies you’ve read/watched but don’t own. Or a tbr/ tbw list
Great
The app is great, but it really needs a sort by complete/in progress and other statuses
Amazing App
It took no time at all to scan a little over 200 books. There were some older books which were not found, but I was able to add manually. The one thing I wish was included would be the genre.
Excellent but….
Love how easy it was to upload all my books but would have loved
to be able list by publish date would make it easier to know if I have missed any by by that author

My dvd and cd collections
I’ve used Libib now for about a year and found it to be really good. It recalled all my data when I changed to a new iPad and it’s great for reminders of what you’ve got in your collection. AND it’s free!!
