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 call

The clearest difference is rating: Libib Kiosk at 5.0 against My Book List's 4.1. Libib Kiosk also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 8). My Book List's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 3 months) and review sentiment (49% vs 20%). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Libib Kiosk holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: My Book List has 642 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 49% of My Book List's written reviews are positive against 20% of Libib Kiosk's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

My Book List ships an update every 4 days, Libib Kiosk every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 2, 2026 respectively.
