This app is very simple to use but some ISBNs don't seem to register but you can still add the books without. This app needs a few additional features to be really good such as being able to change the background, order of books and sections and maybe text types or size. Other than that, this app is good to keep track of your books.

Easy to use but it will not accept books with the same Title even if the Author is different.

Tried scanning three tomes and all three times it crashed

Only problem with this app is there is no sort function. Also a few of the newer books (published after 2011) don't seem to be found.

이 앱은 진짜 쩌는것 같아. 책이 몇백권쯤 넘어가면 책장에 무슨 책이 있는지 정확히 기억나지 않을때가 있는데, 이 앱으로 기록하면 적어도 이미 산 책 또 사지 않아도 될것 같다. 다만 아쉬운건 책마다 설명이 잘 되있는게 있고 표지 그림도 안 뜨는 것이 있는데, 그건 구글북스의 탓이라고 볼 수 있으니 별 5점. 이후에 제목순으로 정렬이라든가 작가이름별로 정렬하는 기능이 생기면 더 좋을거라 생각한다.

I really love this app. It's aesthetically pleasing. The custom lists are very helpful! The barcode scanner works well and information is fetched quickly. Books have to be added one at a time, however, so it's ineffective for people with large quantities of books.

Great for recording the books. Needs a print and search feature.

I like that this works as it should. Problem comes with creating sections....I can name the sections but then the title of created section doesn't appear. Need to update this and would give 5 stars for sure!

Love the app, it's super useful for someone who reads a lot like me!

M70%
by M####:

It's too simple for my needs. .. couldn't even sort by authors...I think it's only suitable for a small book collection

C70%
by C####:

Could add functionality so it asks for scancode or manually input books rather than automatically go to add manually. Also, you could try having a more suitable name than default suggestion. Lastly, you could add functionality to suggest related books based on your preferences or find books like a selected one would be cool too.

Needs options to export for excel/cvs and HTML so the info can be available on the internet (this is pretty standard with most catalog programs). It's also a bit buggy in some spots (ads covering text, etc).

Scans ok but work do lookup

Wouldn't scan, fail on search.

Ideally it gets backed up to a cloud server. Say gdrive so you won't loose your data. Synching with other devices will b appreciated

S70%
by S####:

It needs a delete option, could use a drag and drop feature in case you added it to the wrong list or want change the list it's on (like from "to read" to "read") but it works really well. I can't seem to get the barcode scanner to work, but I think that is my tablet and not the app. Overall, I really like it and it does the job I want it to.

by S####:

This is great if you want to make a list of books you want to read or have read. Its not complex and confusing with a million buttons (and I am young so not low tech here). Its simple and just what Im looking for. BTW it would be cool if you were aloud to uploads image of the book cover itself from your phones gallery.

I like it a lot, its managed to scan most of my books, missing only about 2 or 3. Creating sections is easy and I love that I can add notes writing essentially whatever I want. The one issue I have is that sections can't be minimized, so no matter how organized you get, if you have a lot of books, it will be a bit troublesome to keep scrolling.

No sort function. I want to keep track of my books, not just throw them in a big digital heap.

This app is nicely organized and visually pleasing. The barcode scanner works great to scan your ISBN on bookcovers and automatically updates, title, author, etc info. Like the ability to create different shelves to sort books. Wish I could export a list of books as CSV to other device... Great app!

Out of the four books I tried to scan, all the same series and author only one is coming up wrong. Tamora Pierce Sandry's Book.

Would be super great if you could minimize your shelves and then expand them so you don't have to scroll thru all of your books each time.

L70%
by L####:

I love the look and the functionality. The only problem I have with this app is that there is no way to sort the books once you've added them to a list. I'd like to be able to alphabetize my lists or to sort them by author or just reorder them if I need to. Apart from that, this is exactly what I need!

The reason why I rated this app what I did is because I think it is an epic app and I do reccommend it to any new users.......

Very useful app. My only suggestions are. 1) book collection should be searchable 2) exportable library 3) sync with Google books 4) separate sections for ebooks Thanks

N70%
by N####:

The way it utilizes the camera to snap a shot of the ISBN is great. However 70 percent of all books scanned it cannot retrieve information on.

E70%
by E####:

I love this app! Simple, fun, and easy to use. Barcode scanner is the best. But book titles duplicate itself on the list (but when i open its another book) and book order jump around when scrolling up/down. I would dl again after the glitches are fixed (misleading list, no order of arrangement) and add search function (imagine i have hundreds of books).
