BooksRUs vs Ink&Echo

BooksRUs is your personal library, beautifully organized. Catalog every book you own, remember who borrowed what, and find any title in seconds, all on your iPhone and iPad. SNAP IT, SAVE IT Take a cover photo with your camera and add up to four photos per book. Front cover, back cover, spine, or that signed title page: keep them all. TRACK WHAT MATTERS Record the details that make your collection yours: • Title, author, and genre • Condition and shelf location • Lending status, so you never lose a book to a friend again • Your own star rating and written review • What you paid for it FIND ANYTHING, FAST Search across all your fields at once: title, author, genre, location, and more. Drag along the A–Z index scrubber to leap to any letter in a long list, just like Contacts. BUILT FOR iOS 27 BooksRUs uses a modern Liquid Glass design. On iPad, see your list and book details side by side. On iPhone, it collapses into a clean, simple flow. SIRI AND SHORTCUTS Say the word and add a new book, or open the app, using Siri or the Shortcuts app. Your hands stay free for holding the book. USE iCloud to SYNCHRONIZE WITH ALL DEVICES The app synchronizes all data across all iOS, iPadOS devices that have the same Apple ID User signed into iCloud. IMPORT AND EXPORT YOUR LIBRARY Moving from a spreadsheet? Import your collection from a CSV file. Want a backup, or a copy for Excel or Numbers? Export your entire library (except photos) to CSV any time. Imports are verified with checksums, and each import is tracked as a batch, so you can undo an import cleanly if something looks wrong. For modern backup and restore, use the backup to JSON file format and restore from JSON file format from any disk location your Apple ID has permissions to read/write. DUPLICATE WITH ONE TAP Own several editions or a series with similar details? Duplicate a record and edit only what differs. BUILT-IN HELP A full help section with illustrated topics explains every feature, so you can get started quickly. YOUR LIBRARY, YOUR DATA Your books are stored on your device with Apple's SwiftData. There are no accounts to create and no ads. Whether you have fifty books or five thousand, BooksRUs keeps your shelves in order.
