Catalog your entire home library in an afternoon. Snap a photo of any shelf and the AI adds every title. No typing, no spreadsheets, no scattered notes. Trusted by 600+ readers and rated 4.1 stars on the App Store since 2011. • Catalog a 200-book shelf in five minutes. Point your camera. AI reads the spines and adds the books. • Add a single book in seconds by scanning the barcode on the back cover. • Bring your Kindle library across in one tap. No CSV juggling. • Find anything in plain English. "That biography about the architect" works. • AI sorts your shelves by genre, mood, and theme so you stop tagging by hand. • Read on iPhone, edit on iPad, look something up offline at the bookstore. Sync handles the rest. How it works: 1. Point your camera at a shelf and let AI populate your library. 2. Sort, tag, and mark books as Read, Reading, or To Read. 3. Pick up on any device. Share with friends, join a club, ask for a recommendation when you want one. Coming from another app or a spreadsheet? Import CSV, TSV, JSON, XLSX, BibTeX, or RIS files. Field mapping is built in.

Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: My Book List at free with in-app purchases against Coloring Book Air's subscription. My Book List also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 5 weeks). Coloring Book Air's advantage is rating (4.3 vs 4.1). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and ads there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. My Book List sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Coloring Book Air sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Coloring Book Air holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 4.1. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 643 and 506 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 49% of My Book List's written reviews are positive against 43% of Coloring Book Air's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
My Book List ships an update every 4 days, Coloring Book Air every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 10, 2026 and November 11, 2026 respectively.
