I like this program a lot, but I would like it better if there were listing pages for a series instead of individual books. So, if I search for “The Expanse,” then the results have a page for that series instead of only listing each book separately. It would also be cool to have book […]

This app has everything I want, with a beautiful, intuitive interface. If you are a visual person, you will especially love how books are listed with customizable covers in a rapidly-loading scroll with no lag. The filtering and sorting features are great, and recommendations are organized into categories with subcategories. I was able to import […]

Great app with free features that don’t have a short term limited trial, so you can get a real feel for it. Wish it also had a web based verson, even if just for pro so for those who want to log in their audio and ebook collection also, we don’t have to type it […]

I almost cried. It is that easy to scan/bulk scan. I spent hours adding to Librarika for it to lock me out. I then tried Library Thing- not bad… But this is SO easy. I just clicked each book I had entered on Library Thing and it found the ISBN within seconds. it *maybe* took […]

I’m obsessed with this app. I can do everything I want & more: I can track what I’m reading, track the pages & dates of what I’m reading, create tags & bookshelves, read book summaries & reviews, & even catalog my entire library. I moved from GoodReads to this app & I couldn’t be happier. […]

Amazing app, works SO well! The barcode scanner actually works even for my obscure books or different language books and it picks things up sooo fast. The app is intuitive and has a clean UI. I love the layout and ability to add different shelves/categories, tags, and wishlist items. It is perfect, so happy with […]

I love this app and have used it for about a year and a half. It makes it easy for me to organize all my books and I do recommend it to all my friends. However, I’ve slowly seen ads be implemented which was fine when it was sprinkled throughout. Now every time I save […]

Easy to use and not all junked up with extra features. I love adding books to the shelves, and it’s been a lifesaver to check if I already have a copy of something while I’m browsing used bookstores for example. I like that shelves can be shared with a link so others can see what […]

I absolutely love this app. It helps so much with keeping track of both the books I’ve collected and books I’ve already read and passed on. I use the search feature to see if I already have something and both the scan features have made my collection really easy to keep up-to-date. I also like […]

This is a really great app for categorizing your books personally, without a social component. However, lately, there have been annoying and intrusive ads that pop up in the most inconvenient ways. It used to be just a static image that would show between adding books to your shelves and you could just “x” out […]

I had been looking for a way to track what I read, and although this is made for books since it allows “books” to be added manually I have been using it to track my fanfiction reading. The app allows you many options of detailing what you read, how you felt about it, where you […]

I absolutely LOVE this app! I’ve had it for several months and I’ve had zero problems. well one minor problem w one or maybe two of my 160+ books came up w the wrong cover or maybe the wrong book entirely, I can’t remember. But this app is free and EXTREMELY convenient ! it does […]

I really like the app so far, I switched from a different organization platform because that one was so buggy and slow to update. The one thing I miss is a subsort option; I dislike that the default option for multiple books by the same author is alphabetical by title. I wish I could sort […]

Love this app! I’ve been using it to catalog my personal books for 1-2 months. My favorite features so far are: batch scan books; scan ISBN number (not just barcode); sorting books onto different “shelves”; and, searching for books by title/author to add to my shelves. The wishlist feature seems good too but I haven’t […]

All-round, great app. Really helps me keep track of what I have on my shelf, from where, how much it was, and even if I’ve lent a book to someone, when and to whom. The scanning barcodes feature is great, but I have several books that it doesn’t pick up, and some ISBN numbers or […]

I’ve only just downloaded it about 5 minutes ago but I already love it. I think the only thing that could make it any better is if I was also able to read my books through the app, BUT that isn’t really necessary since I have the physical copies, it would just be a nice […]

OH. MY. GOSH. This is THE BEST app ever to keep track of your books. The fact that you can batch scan them in is so cool, and there are so many helpful features. It’s not something you have to pay to get the most out of it, and it doesn’t cram ads down your […]

Best bookshelf app I’ve used yet. My one request would be the option to create sub-groups of shelves, that way I could separate the books into series. Hoping that it is on the creators to-do list in the future? I’ll continue using it regardless. I listen to 3-5 audiobooks a week, so it’s nice being […]

I’ve been using this app as a premium user for I believe a year now and I absolutely love love love this app. I use it alongside bookmory to keep track of what I have and what I’m currently reading. It took me until now to realize this app has a wishlist so you don’t […]

Nice and simple to use, not-annoying ads, no limits on how many books, all on free version! Duplicates are the only thing that I am sad is behind the paywall, but it also is a nice alert that I already have the book. Also haven’t found a limit on number of “shelves” so I can […]
