## What is My Books Read?

With our app, you can easily keep track of all the books you've read. When adding a book, simply click the barcode button on the top right corner of the screen and scan the book's barcode to automatically fill in most of the fields, including the book cover.

Have you ever been asked for book recommendations? Our app makes it simple to find and share books with others. Just go to the book details and tap the share button to share with your friends or relatives via text, email, Facebook, Twitter, or any other app on your iPhone or iPad.

If you're interested in a book series but can't remember which ones you've read, our app can help. Just open the app and go to the menu option "Book List by Author/Genre," select the Author tab, scroll down to find your desired author, and tap to see a list of their books. You can quickly check if you've read a book in the series or not.  You can also click on the series tab on the bottom and select the series from the list and see which books you have read.

As an avid reader who averages 50-60 books a year, it's hard to remember them all. That's where our app comes in handy for me!

The app allows you to sort your books by Book name, Author, Genre, Series, and Date read, as well as group books by Author or Genre, Year, Rating, and Series. You can also double-tap the book image or tap the zoom button to view the book cover in full-screen mode and enlarge or shrink the image using one or two fingers.

We've included a few screen shots of the Books Read iPhone and iPad App to give you an idea of what to expect.

Please don't hesitate to contact us via email if you have any comments, suggestions, bug reports, or requests for the app. We're always happy to hear from our users!

### 1/5 — Used to love it but not anymore.

*2025-06-13*

I have had this app for years. It started out great where all you needed was the date read, title and author of the book. Now you have to put in all kinds of other information before you can save.  I reached out to the creator with no help from him. Deleted the app.

### 1/5 — Does not work

*2025-01-17*

Crashes as soon as you begin loading info

### 5/5 — Love that I can keep track

*2024-02-01*

This is so great that I can now keep track of books that I have read instead of guessing. I few times I have bought the same book and do not realize until I have read a few pages. Now I can just look it up and see. Also I can tell how long it takes me to read a book and see how I have progressed in time. That is exciting to me since I never did enjoy reading in school and now I love to read more then watching TV.

### 4/5 — Pratique et simple mais non traduite en français

*2023-04-23*

Cette application est bien pensée. Elle permet de trier tous ses livres avec minutie. Je regrette qu’elle ne soit pas traduite en français car je peine à comprendre certaines fonctions.

### 5/5 — Very Useful!

*2023-03-13*

Easy-to-use app that will save a LOT of data entry, since you can scan the book’s barcode. Developer is very responsive- there was a bit of a problem with scanning on iOS 16, which he resolved right away. 

Highly recommend for those few of us who still get information by way of dead trees.

### 5/5 — Easy to use

*2022-06-11*

I’ve used this app for a few years now and I just love how easy it is to use. Now granted, I haven’t looked around to other apps because frankly, this serves my purpose. 
The only thing I really would like is to be able to take a screenshot of the cover of my book and have it added immediately instead of saving and moving and blah, blah, blah.

### 1/5 — Fake app

*2020-10-24*

I downloaded the paid version as free-deal, I still have ads. Strange 🥺. Since I didn't pay, Uninstaller it.

### 5/5 — Love this app!

*2020-04-29*

I have finally found a way to track books that I’ve read, not only by author but by series too! I absolutely love this app and highly recommend it if you want to track your books.

### 5/5 — Doesn’t seem to work

*2020-04-26, version 1.18*

I want an app like this. Unfortunately, I can’t go back and add notes or change anything. The app just closes. Sad.

### 1/5 — Not worth it

*2020-02-11*

I paid and downloaded. All it does is crash every time I try to add a book. A waste of money.
