ZooBook is your own little library, filled with the books you've read. Every time you add a book, your shelf fills up as delightfully as a zoo. [Key Features] - A shelf you fill with covers Scan an ISBN barcode or search by title or author, and the real book cover lands on your shelf. - Drag covers to reorder Press and hold a cover, then drag it one spot at a time to exactly where you want it. Sort books into shelves like "Fiction," "Study," and "Essays," and rearrange them freely. - Reading records and habits Track pages read, time spent reading, star ratings, and status (Owned Β· Reading Β· Finished), and review it all at a glance with statistics and a calendar. - Quote collection Photograph a passage with your camera, and ZooBook recognizes it as text and gathers it into your personal quote collection. - Sticky-note memos Jot down the thoughts that come to you for each book. - Home Screen widgets Check the book you're reading, your shelf covers, reading statistics, and recently added books right from widgets. - Atmospheric themes Choose a bookshelf theme you love, such as Warm Oak, Walnut Study, Sage Gallery, and Lavender Atelier. - Safe backup and restore Back up your entire library to iCloud Drive and Files, and restore it anytime. - Export Export your library to Google Sheets or publish it as a web shelf.
