I used to keep track of books, movies, and shows etc. on plaintext lists, but these apps designed specifically to keep those lists yet also provide additional information and a better interface are so nice, this is the best one I found for keeping track of books. The app is updated fairly frequently for this type of app also the developers seem to care about improving this experience. Update: using this app again after not using for awhile and book collection has grown exponentially. I love the variety of types of categorization (categories, tags, physical location, and many more options including custom fields you can create. This is helpful as my books are all over the place-multiple physical locations, kindle, Apple Books, audible, etc. There are also many options for tracking progress and status of books. The design of the app allows for vast complexity in organization while maintaining simplicity in user interface and makes it easy to edit the metadata on the fly. I also own book track app, which also has Mac app, but the design and usability of Book Buddy made me confident going all in with this app. Hopefully, with Catalyst and other developments on the Mac, this app will eventually be ported to the Mac also, which I would absolutely pay for again!

I simply love this app! I have my entire book collection with a picture in my hand at all times.

I didn’t know how much I needed this app in my life. I am a true book lover. I have bought multiple books on by accident not realizing I already had the book in my collection. Now no matter where ever I am in the world I have my entire book collection in my hand with a picture of it. It also has a feature where you can list the exact location of the book. So if you have a book in a storage location, you can included that under the book’s profile. There is a feature for loaning books, borrowing books and a wish list. Absolutely love this app. It also tells you how many books you have ( for those of us who don’t know how many books we have.) You can included the exact price of each book, also it contains the list price a great feature for people who love to buy bargain books.

An Evil Heart by Linda Castillo

An Evil Heart is a propulsive murder mystery that will leave you on the edge of your s until the last page. Inclusion of Amish tradition and dialect offers readers an inside perspective on this unique enclave of American culture while juxtaposing Amish religious ideals against a more sinister invasion. A young man is brutally murdered in Painters Mill, a small Amish town, propelling a chain reaction of inquiries. Who was Aden Karn why would someone want to kill him ir such a horific manner? Chief of Police, Kate Burkholder and her department relentlessly follow clues that lead them to Aden's murderer. It becomes clear that Aden was not the Boy Scout everyone perceived him to be. The case takes on an unexpect twist when a second body is discovered, intensifying the hunt. The citizens of Painters Mill find themselves challenged by secrecy and lies while the innocent pay the price fo the evil that exists among them. In this 27th installment of the Kate Burkholder series, Castillo has created a strong female antagonist who is a fierce defender of truth and justice, all of which contributes to a thoroughly enjoyable heroine in An Evil Heart.

Just what I was looking for

This app is truly what I've been looking for. I had bookshelves full of books that I have read and on more than one occasion I have bought the same book twice. This app allowed me to scan all of my books (around 300, and it didn't take that long, I added the books I've read on my kindle with the Internet search option which works well also) and add ratings and comments to them. Now when I'm at the bookstore I can easily see which books I've read and, using my ratings, I can tell which authors I really like. I've also emailed myself the book list and so now I have a backup copy in an Excel spreadsheet. It's been perfect for what I was looking for. Update: I have been using this app for years now (with over 1000 books) and it is still working perfectly for me. I haven’t bought or checked out a book I have already read since using this app.

Exactly what I was looking for

I wanted an app that was flexible and easy to navigate. I definitely did NOT want a social app (like GoodReads). This was affordable and met every need I was looking for: easy to add books, easy to update status, easy to look at from different angles (filter by series, author, genre, reading status, location, recommended by, etc). It doesn’t have the same bells and whistles as some other apps, like tracking your reading time and creating reading challenges, but all the apps that do that are expensive (note, you can create a filter view for date finished and you can see how many you finished in a given year. That’s cool and can help if you’re trying to reach a goal for a year). Overall very happy with this app and more than happy to pay the one time fee to unlock the pro features (one time fee instead of subscription? What a breath of fresh air these days!!).

Good App - Could Be Great

I tried several apps before deciding on this one to organize my home library. I was looking for something that would sort my books by genre and alphabetize them so I could put them on the shelf in order. I like that this scans ISBN; however, the majority of my books are older and can’t be scanned. It would be nice if this incorporated business card scanners so that I could simply take a photo of the cover and it would recognize the text. Instead I am using the search online feature to look up titles and add them. The other thing that could be improved is the genres. They get ridiculous. Nancy Drew mysteries will come up as fiction for juveniles, juvenile fiction, adventure, young adult, etc. Fortunately, you can manually change the genre, but it would be nice if there were a way to limit the options. I’ve entered close to 200 books at this point and have several hundred more to go. It is time consuming, but I’m looking forward to finally having my library organized!

Great app! Absolutely perfect

I love this app so much. It really helps me keep my library organized. When I’m out and about and see a good deal on a book I want in my library, I can check my app to make sure I don’t already own that book. I also love the feature that helps me keep track of who I loaned books to and when. I have lost so many books in the past because I can’t remember who I loaned them out to and they were never returned. There is one thing that would change my rating from a four star rating to a five star rating. I don’t like how titles that begin with the word ‘The’ are alphabetized under the letter T. For example, I wish the book titled The Henna Artist was alphabetized under the letter H for ‘Henna’ instead of the letter T for ‘The’. Other than that minor detail, this is a really great app and I highly recommend it. Update— thank you for the response! This was perfect!!

Fantastic app, perfect in almost every way

It is rare enough to find an app that actually does what you were looking for but then on top of that to have it be easy to use and to actually work without crashing, it’s like a miracle. This app is about as perfect as it gets for a simple book database - incredible flexibility to add tags, add your own classifications and even more amazing a super simple, fast lookup process to automatically get all the core data from the internet! A super fast & easy process to pick the image you want. In fact the whole app is about as intuitive as you can get. Honestly I can’t think of anything I would change or anything I would add. It just does exactly what I wanted. I hardly ever even rate apps much less write reviews but I had to immediately pay 5 bucks for the app and leave a review because I am completely, absolutely impressed!

Great app for big personal collections!

I’ve been using this app for a while now, and it has been well worth it to keep our 1200+ books organized. I really appreciate how customizable it is, that I can group books with tags (big help), and edit as needed to uniform the info on my books. The database is big and being able to manually enter books from pre-isbn times is great. An exporting list option was my other big criteria in finding a library app, and this app has that feature and the export is easy to use. The two annoying things that would make this app better would be to be able to crop pictures for book covers as Also, there is also no way to perform a search and select more than one book at a time from the search results. But it’s been a great app otherwise!

Enjoying the app

I am enjoying the app very much. We are a home school family and have many books coming and going from multiple libraries. Keeping track of them all can be a crazy task. With this app I can enter in all of the books as I check them out and know quickly what books we have. I really like the feature of returning the books. Sometimes our libraries may not get a returned book scanned in and I comes up over due. But I have no way to prove I have returned it. With this app I can have a record I have returned it. One change I would make to this app would to allow scanning in movies, cds, magazines, anything that could be checked out in a library. This way app users could keep track of these loaned items also. Thank you for a sanity saver!

Great for us teachers

I started with the free version and then quickly upgraded to the plus which I’ve had for a little over 3 years. I teach middle school and I’m constantly checking books in and out. Some suggestions/wishes I have are the options of uploading a document to have all students names at once, like a CV card or something? I don’t know what those are called. That as well as it would be great if I could simply scan the book when its time to loan it out and then return it. Searching each time, whether it’s checking out or returning, is time consuming. This is definitely the best app to keep a library organized and I love having knowledge of all the books I have and all the ones checked out. I even use this for my teacher books since I loan out Kagan books and reading resource materials! Excellent app but just a few minor fixes would get it 5 stars from me.

Sync problems

I wish I could give this a 5 star review. The organizational capabilities are superb. However- I’ve had this app for over a year. And the syncing problems between devices have resulted in so much wasted time and frustration- including requiring me to re scan several hundred books due to sync problems: either the sync Will not sync or it takes a very long time for it to show up- it doesn’t help if info doesn’t sync from 1 device to the other like it’s supposed to. This app really needs some kind of sign in process to store things online and easily access info from any device without constantly having to check to be sure things are “syncing “ from One device to another. Would also be nice to have compatibility with Google cloud for storage…would also be nice if info was stored on the web instead of device (or at least the option to pick either one) for people who don’t have tons of storage on their actual device.

FINALLY, an app that allows me to easily search my list!!

I have gone through several different apps that allow you to scan the barcodes of your books to track them for whatever your purpose. I’ve been searching for one that allows me to both easily search my list (my main use is tracking books I own) and easily enter books manually for the books I own digitally. These two features, which this app has, allow me to, when I’m used book shopping, quickly check if I have a particular book. No more getting home to discover that I’ve already purchased a certain book!! This app saves me time and money! What more could I ask for?!

NEVERMIND FOUND EDIT OPTION. Needs to update ‘cover coming soon’ books

This is probably nitpicky but I was testing the free version out before I bought then-aid version and I scanned 4 books and 1 came up with a ‘cover coming soon’ picture when the book has been our for a few months. I like this program specifically because it shows the covers but if they aren’t going be keeping up to date with new release covers then what’s the point? Also covers get released way before the book even comes out so there really is no excuse. I like the multi scan feature and the simplicity but what’s the point if I can’t see the picture. Edit: I found the edit title option but once again if I’m going to be paying for this I shouldn’t have to do this except for maybe special editions not in the system

I downloaded this app so that I could have a visual of all my childrens books. I love that I can scroll through all of our picture books. Also it helps when I am out and can’t remember if they already have a specific book. My only complaint comes from using the tag feature. I have books that may fit multiple tags based off of themes/categories. An Example being an ocean themed alphabet book. I would tag it “phonics” and “ocean”. I was hoping this feature would help me set up their book shelves more quickly because I could type one of my tags into the search engine. In this case I would search either ocean OR alphabet depending on exactly what I wanted to put on their shelves. What is the point of “tags” if I can’t search my library for books with a specific tags.

Great app for a home library, classroom, office, or small library

I can’t say enough good things about this app!!! You can even do a backup to Dropbox or Google drive with ease. Great app for a home library, classroom, office, or small library & anyone who needs to quickly keep track of a small collection. The following are merely suggestions as I’m hoping the develops will read this review: As a librarian, I love how it allows you to choose your own categories and it allows you to get down into the details. As a layman, there are just too many options. Suggestions for update1)Create two areas one that is simple and one advances users. 2)More suggested answers for say genres, categories, & format for the non-librarians vs the advances users

GREAT app

I LOVE this app! It’s exactly what I was looking for. What a perfect way to keep track of my home library, I love it!! I mainly wanted to be able to enter books by scanning the barcode (yep! As long as the book isn’t too old; but if it is too old, you can type in the ISBN; and if it’s too old to have an ISBN, you can still add it using an online search), and it allows you to mark the books’ locations, and it allows you to mark books as loaned out—and lots more! If you own more than 50 books (and if you’re looking at this app, you know you do!) go ahead and pay the five bucks for the unlimited version! I guarantee you won’t regret it.

“ISBN barcode required”

Grabbed the most convenient 6 books to try scanning. 4 of them flatly refuse to scan, giving the response I put in the title. There is zero identifiable difference whatsoever between the barcodes on the books. I am not sitting at my shelves manually typing hundreds of ISBN’s into my phone. EDIT: in response to the developer reply to my review, I gave it another chance. Looking at the inside of some books did indeed get me more successful scans; however, I then discovered I have a large proportion of my books that apparently entirely lack ISBNs. I can’t blame the app developers for that… but it means still having to manually input a large enough number of books to render the entire exercise not worth the trouble compared either to just typing a spreadsheet or continuing to do without any inventory at all. If you mostly have reasonably new books, you might have better luck.

Almost Perfect

I would of given this a 5/5 if it weren’t for the fact I don’t have a have to fix the way it sorts multiple numbered volumes of a series in order. It will list for example volumes 1-9 in order numerically, but then volume 10 will be inserted after volume 1 and not after volume 9. Not sure if this is how things are sorted via some method I’m unaware of. I am admittedly not a librarian, just a guy trying to keep track of my books. However, other than that the app works great. I can scan multiple books via barcode, or manually enter. Multitude of sorting options. Interface is good. I did pay $5 to unlock unlimited cataloging, which if you have a big collection I think is worth it for ease of use.

IN LOVE with BookBuddy

As a person who has always loved books and reading I bought the cost version of BookBuddy after trying the free version when I was in my late teens. I had about 150 books then. Now as an English teacher I use BookBuddy to keep track of all the books I own (400+ now). The ability to separate books into categories is a feature I love because I can designate whether a book is “at home” in my personal library or if I bought a book for my “classroom library”. I would recommend this app to anyone who collects books and likes to keep track of what you have!

Great Experience

Amended review (original follows): I am now at least 5 years in. I had my second contact with support this week. It was related to categorization of books following CSV import. I received an accurate response to my email within 24 hours. This app just works. It is responsive in handling what I think is large personal collection. >>>>>>>>> I have used another app for years (from my iPhone 3 days) but its user interface has become difficult to use. Not long ago, I moved and unpacked my books expeditiously for emptying boxes but its not easy to find things. I decided to add location information to each book. I started using my legacy app and found the UI to be too cumbersome. So, I created a CSV export that was easily imported into Book Buddy. I have gone through a few iterations (as I tag each book case). So far, I have had one question that was excellently handled by support. The responsiveness of support compensated for lack of real documentation. The PDF export produces a beautiful catalog.

Upgrade pays for itself

I started with the free version a few years back and quickly decided to upgrade. It was the best financial decision I’ve ever made. I’m still working on getting my entire library on (it’s grown a lot and I’ve been lax about my BookBuddy use), but I’m nearly 500 books deep (I have at least 800 books in total) and it’s already saved me hundreds of dollars from unintentionally buying multiple copies of the same book. There’s a movie version of the app I’m confident works just the same. My only complaint is that there isn’t one for a video game library. =(

Great if you have a small collection

I love this app a and it’s sister MovieBuddy. The Only downside to this app is when searching online it doesn’t automatically add it to the series it is in. I find that frustrating because in MovieBuddy you can add the movie by tv series and not have to list what is in it and what order it goes in. Even when adding movie series it still shows all the possible movies in the online search. You just have to add the order they go in. I think it would make this app easier if it not only added the author and title but the book series and the volume of the book in that series. When adding from online. Otherwise great app.

Just What I Needed

I love this ap. I have almost 600 books logged in it. It makes searching for books easy and keeping a catalog of my library very easy. We homeschool and I’m an avid second hand book buyer so this ap also comes in very handy at the second hand stores when I can’t remember what’s in my library. The only criticism is that when I add a book from my wishlist by scanning it still stays in my wishlist. Would love to be able to skip that step of going into my wishlist and having to manually move if I scan a book in. Would also be cool if it worked with Goodreads.

Almost..but not quite

I have been using Delicious Library 3 for several years but it is no longer supported. Thus, I need a new app to manage my books, lendiing of books, and listing of the 500 books and countless other music, games, etc. I need something--now! This is a great app for the phone and iPad but it does not have a desktop version to sync with it. It has the barcode reader (needed), a way to view yur books by images or lists (needed), a way to edit the information either manually or through a sync process (needed) but it is only available for an iPhone or iPad (wonderful) but not the Mac desktop (oops! Needed but not available!).

Best Book Library

I read a lot, including many books by the same author, so it’s easy to forget which ones I’ve read. For years I have kept a manual record but recently found Book Buddy. I have now downloaded over a thousand books from about 20 years of reading. With this app it was quick and easy, taking about 20 hours to enter all the books from my manual record and now the new books can be entered in a few seconds by scanning the barcode. I love the app and would recommend it to anyone who wants to keep track of books owned, read,etc.

Perfect during Covid

After much research, I decided on this app for my classroom library because of its ability to label which books go in which book boxes. Checking in books is a breeze (as with other apps), but because of the labeling, I can have parent volunteers return books for me. Update: This app has now turned into a lifesaver during Covid. I can have students browse books virtually by uploading sections of our library as a PDF. The upload is in color and includes covers and book descriptions. Wow!!!! (Note: I do my labels by reading level and by book box name.)

Not a fan

My husband was using this app and I tried to use this also. There is no easy way for us to share the library without me scanning every book he already has scanned. There is no “account” to access to share the information between the two of us. We have also been charged for a subscription but have no more functionality. Have tried to share via iCloud and it is not working. Very frustrating to have to totally reinvent the wheel per say.

Best in Class for iOS, BUT...

It has to be better. PROs Structure: Structure is the best this reviewer has found in library apps for iOS Design is easily navigable and logical, clean, uncluttered, very friendly Good selection of developer-created fields that can be added to book info page CONs First off, customer service: From within app Support tab takes you to static web site page describing features of one or several apps, it isn't clear, and to a Contact page with email form. No Forums. No FAQs. So, basically, invisible developers. Accessibility: Few if no accessibility options Book image offered in one size only No option to customise fields, that is, to allow users to create their own book info fields, such as: Foreword, Preface, Print Run Total, Print Run Number, Signed, etc No option to rearrange layout of book info page No option to insert user's own values to field values, for example, the default status for a new book cannot be set to be a value not included among the three offered All in all, the best available, BUT it has to be more flexible to be worth the $4.99 developer charges for unlimited-entries version.

The scanner is awesome and easy

I’m an education student preparing for teaching. I’ve been buying a lot of middle grade books and really wanted an option for me to catalogue books and let students check them out. I haven’t used it with students yet to know how easy and effective it is but it seems like it will be a good option for the price. The only thing I would love to see is being able to use the barcode scanner to loan books to make it super fast. The scanner is awesome for quickly adding books although it won’t work for every single book. Hopefully I’ll remember to update once I’m using it in my classroom.

Best book catalog out there!

I have tried many apps to store my large book collection and they all fell short. This app blows them out of the water. Take the step and GO PRO! It’s so worth it. All the books you want to store, a huge wishlist, online search function, an endless amount of categories, book ratings, reviews, and a borrowed list are just a few of the amazing things this app has to offer. I am obsessed with books and to have found an app that loves my book’s as much as I do is priceless.

The Best Library App

I have used one particular app for organizing my books for a long time but noticed the information I inputted regarding the book would change if someone else added the book and edited to their preferences. So, I went on the hunt for a new book managing app. I have only been using BookBuddy for about a month but throughly impressed. What I like most is where I can change a book to previously owned. There are SO MANY great features in this app that I haven’t found in other apps. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

Favorite of the bunch

I love books. While my library is probably small compared to many, I have about 1,000 currently. For years I used Delicious Library. However I felt like their iOS presence was not that great. I also recently moved offices, which meant moving my books, which gave me the opportunity to update my catalogue. I downloaded about 6 other apps and ways to catalogue my books. Book Buddy is my favorite of the bunch. I like the features and the design compared to the other ones. The only thing I wish it had was batch updating/editing and smart shelves (categories). Hence the four out of five.

Why No ISBN Search?

I have given this a 5 Star review, but it seems to be lacking a critical function for some book collectors. I cannot find a way to search for book data by ISBN. Many older books lack barcodes and the author has written many books. Thus an ISBN search function would be great. Other than that it is easy to use and a very good library style database. I’m still giving it 5 stars because it’s been so incredibly helpful in organizing my extensive book collection.

Great... but...

The app works really well, and I can make it work for my needs. One really frustrating thing as I set-up and log all of my books though is the function and location of the stars to rate each book. When I’m trying to adjust the category and add tags, I continuously hit those stars accidentally. It’s adding a rating to the book that Incan change but can’t remove. I don’t want to add a rating to a book we haven’t read yet. If the location remains where it is, it would be useful to have the ability to remove all stars and ratings, in case of accidental use. Thanks!

BookBuddy

I really like the app except for a couple major issues for me. It would be nice to have the files on my PC, to be able to scan with my phone and then have them transfer to my PC. Also wish there was a sign in, don’t know if this would be efficient then using the cloud? Tried other apps that did that and it was instant and worked very well. As I am typing I can’t get my iPad to sync to get additions although I pushed the sync now. Was working earlier? I choose this app because of several other features, one being that you are able to scan multiple barcodes without having to click after each one.

It is excellent for keeping up with my reading plan as well as recording my reading history.

I am a book hoarder. That means that I just buy books and wait for a long time before I commence to read.

I love this app. It keeps track of everything book related and allows for all kinds sorting and category customization. It’s easy to keep track of all my books, digital and hard copies, even just library books I have checked out. (No more duplicates.) The wishlist function makes shopping and library visits easier, except for when I leave with way more than I anticipated. iCloud syncing works great.

Love it!

I had been using excel to keep track of my audiobooks but it was hard to see if I had books by certain narrators and it was more difficult to update excel through the app. I can add multiple authors, make as read, being read, etc. I can even add tags in case I want to look for a particular trope or genre. I think the only thing I would like to have added is being able to add multiple narrators the same way I can add authors.

So much potential and yet....

I have whittled my library down as I’ve downsized my home, but still have a couple of thousand volumes that I’ve collected over some 40+ years. Guess what, most do not have a barcode. It would have been so much better if one could search/add by entering the ISBN (still not good for everything) instead of the search function that is here, especially when there are multiple editions of a title and one wants to get the correct one. For a newer collection this is probably just fine, but not for me. Update- just found the enter isbn feature which is very nice. Now how about LC or other older systems?

Decent features, but unusable because of no custom lists

BookBuddy seems like a decent tracker and it’s super easy to lookup books which I appreciate, BUT you can’t create custom book lists to organize your books. You can edit the name of the lists, but you can’t add your own list, the app automatically does that for you when you add another book to the app and it “detects” the genre of the book. Problem is, the app often gets that wrong and now you have to manually add the nook to the right list anyway. This makes the app unusable for me. I need to be able to create my own lists and categories for my books.

Great app, sketchy online book reviews

The app is awesome if you want to keep a detailed inventory of your library but some of the book reviews that are online are questionable. I just finished reading a book by a retired international jewel thief and the book review reads like a blurb for a potential blockbuster movie: a lot of hype, name dropping of previous heist movies (Ocean’s 11 for example) and non-existent photos. Per the book review either I have a unfinished book or there’s some pages missing.

Efficient and easy, with one little criticism

I’m trying to organize my book collection, and this is a really easy and efficient way to log them. My only criticism so far is that I wish the app recognized when titles start with “The” and organized the books by the second word. Instead, I manually need to place the “The” at the end of those titles to accomplish alphabetical order. Edit: thank you for telling me how to fix that. 😀

Tags make the difference

I tried all the library apps. This one is the only one that allows me to tag books with anything I choose to sort and organize and ALSO allows me to add notes and even reading levels. As a homeschooling teacher this is very important in keeping books in line with curriculums and corresponding activities. Book buddy really allows you to personalize your library.

Marvelous

I downloaded this to try it and then upgraded to Pro within the app. Most of the 123 books I have entered so far had an ISBN so adding them was a snap. Searching by title found the rest except for 3 Spanish titles. Love being able to take photos of missing covers, adding multiple tags, finding by language, author, setting up separate libraries and being able to export by cvs file or full color pdf that I then airdropped to my Mac. So glad I found this great app.

Love it but missing something

I ended up buying the full app awhile ago. Love it for keeping track of the books I own and what I’m reading. The barcode scanning feature is perfect for adding big hulls to my library. I just feel that it is missing some things that other similar apps seem to offer. Such as, the ability to set reading goals, visualize my reading habits, see my total word/page count for the year, a graphical representation of my library.

Love this app!

I’m using this app to store close to 1,000 books, which I frequently lend to neighbors, friends…. And I confess, even my homeschooling children have to “check out” their books so I can keep track of them. Love the various ways I can organize them, helps me keep everything in order and helps my kids find books right for them (I can sort them books by reading level). 5 stars!

Amazing APP for book lovers

Best APP for me to collect all information for my book collections. It can be exported to excel form, which is my favorite function. It does not look like other fancy apps, which add social functions! I just want to see my book list, not other people. So BookBuddy is what I need! BTW, I hope you will launch a Mac desktop version too, so that I can use the both to establish my library interactively. Good job anyway.
