Book Catalogue

I have played around with it for a few days now and it has some really nice features. A good start to an app that provides some nice flexibility and options. There are a few things holding it back. Would like the search to work a little better like partial match, multiple results, and not have to start over when you hit back. It would be nice if the goodreads integration worked better. Some attributes just won't sync or work only one way. That could be goodreads though. And update to material design

I absolutely love this. I add books by using the Enter ISBN option because it's really quick. I'm getting ready to move, so I captured all my books here, emailed myself a .csv copy (Admin > Export to CSV file), and opening it up in Excel. From here I can make a list of books to sell, import it into a book-selling site, and so on. Really useful! (Tip: If you enter an ISBN and it says it's not valid, it could be an old 10-digit ISBN. Look for an ISBN that starts with 978 or 0-978. Can't find it? Google ISBN calculator and find one that will convert the number for you or just use Book Catalogue's Search Internet option.)

I have so many books that I can't remember what I have, some of them I've never read but mean too. I hate having duplicates of books or being in bookstores and not knowing what I need. I used to write down a list that had a legend it was so big, to keep track of what books I had to buy first and then read, which ones to read first, which ones I've loaned to my friends, which ones put on Amazon wish list , which ones I purchased & didn't cross off, or which ones I have pre-ordered. A bookworm must-have!

I've used this app for awhile and I have a large number of books. Mostly its fine, but they do not respond to emails when there is an issue. Even after following directions exactly when switching phones, my books were there but the covers are missing. I have nearly 1000 books so I'm not about to scan them again. If they were even a tiny bit responsive, they'd get a 5 star review, but I've emailed 3 times with NO RESPONSE.

Fully featured way to create and manage a collection of books; from quickly populating with found information (or creating your own book details) to locating your book and tracking activity related to it. NOTE: I have the same problem as many others with cover graphics not showing in detail view (fine in list and edit). Oddly, vertical graphics are all missing but horizontal are fine. I worked with the polite developer a while back, but he couldn't resolve the issue. Android 6.0.1 Nexus 7.

I've been using this for a few years, really easy to backup to my sd card, have transferred it a couple times now to new phones, never a problem. Love this app 10-14-2016 Suddenly unable to add any books via any method, also can't back up to external sd card. Don't know what happened

I've used this app for a few years now and love it. Isbn, asin, scan or manual search are available and work well. This app has helped me to not purchase duplicate books, The latest version is very stable. I love that you can make a backup and email the list so it can be opened in Excel. Very handy if your phone just stops working.

This is a great app to categorize all my kids books, we literally have about a thousand classic books and I wanted to keep track of which ones we have. But the scanning doesn't work. I scanned about 30 different books and not a single one was found. Just says invalid. So I have to manually put in each isbn. Would give 5 stars if the scanning worked.

This app is really good for storing you're books. If you're someone like me who reads a lot of books it's good to have with you so you don't buy a book you already have. I'm up to 847 books and counting. 07 - 16U pdate... I had an issue where I could see the pictures of my book images but that is all I could see. Long story short they went way out of their way to help resolve the issue. It never was fixed, but they really gave it their all. The issue was with my phone not the app

This app is exactly what my girlfriend and I have been looking for in order to catelogue and organize our combined personal libraries. We have been searching for a year now for an app that does everything Book Catelogue does. It has all of a books info right from the start; I don't need to add anything important to the information page. I can't wait to check out other features from this app.

I have a personal mission to keep the local used bookstores in business. This app is making it easy to avoid duplicate purchases and keep separate lists of what I have, what I want, and what my friends and family would like. The one thing I would change is the 'find other books in this series' feature. It goes through Amazon, which is not structured well to find what is missing. I would prefer something through the LoC or Mark Records, but I understand the developer is based out of Australia.

Tried 3 other book catalogue apps but this blows them all away. I wanted to catalogue a ton of books ...some I have read and some I need to read and prioritise. This app is great for this and allows an Excel export of the scanned books to make lists... Well done on a super App

I love this app! I have almost 600 books and it is really hard for me to keep track of all of them. I have this app on my phone so I never have to worry about if I have a book or not. Before I got this app to keep track of them all I would buy doubles on accident. It also helps me keep track of my manga and I love seeing the green check marks of all the books I've read. If you have an extensive book collection I recommend this app to keep track of them. Awesome job creators!

I've had this app through 7 phones/44yrs and absolutely love it. Once I found the right scanner app (- this app doesn't recreate the wheel) If I can't figure something out, Evan responds to email w/in 48 hrs! Saves me from buying duplicate books because I simply cannot remember titles of >2k books. Also helps me keep track of books to request for library or watch out for free from Amazon, B&N, etc. Create as many bookshelves as you want. Send books to Goodreads then import them into any new device.

Inputting the ISBN number manually is no problem for me, the perks of this app completely outweigh that con. The only thing I would want, is to be able to add friends, so we can see what the other is missing. You know, for Christmas and birthdays and such. Oh, also to be able to see what books we are missing in a series without going out of the app, to amazon (where I do buy my books, but I'd rather stay in the app and have them organized). I've already recommended it to friends and family!

I just got done using it to catalogue all my books. I knew I had a lot--but this helped me see how much "a lot" really is (400+). Even though it's not what it was designed for, I'm going to use it to keep track of DVD's and video games too!

I'm a book fanatic. This lists them perfectly. For older or foreign books, just use the internet search to get the same information. I would like to know if I can make multiple copies on different devices so that if something happens to my phone or SD card, I'll have more copies.

I looked for a way to electronically save my huge book list, found this app finally. It has made it simple to scan and update my books. I've had questions and found the answers by reading all the questions and answers all ready asked and answered by others. I really have no reservations in saying this is a great app!

I would love if you could easily access your catalogue from one device to another. My previous phone died on me & I could figure out how to transfer contents to my new phone, took me forever to re-enter all my books... I have a LOT of books

I'm really interested in such an app for having a catalogue of all my books. I would like to scan the bar code of each book but when I click on add book by scanning, the app reports an error with the android camera. I've already tried to restart the device, Asus ZenFone 2.

I liked this app until I got a new phone. I saved all of my books, we'll over 500, onto my SD card as suggested. I go to upload the files into the app and the app says nothing is there and yet when I go into my files, ya, they're there. Please tell me what in doing wrong because I'd really hate to scan all of my books again.

I'm very impressed with the app so far. Currently I am just adding my collection. It is so easy to scan those books with an ISBN barcode, those with typed number are nearly as easy. Unfortunately I have a number of books without or are pre ISBN, but it isn't too difficult to add these either.

Does the job, but is extremely slow to saving added or updated book details on my Samsung S7, would give it 4 or 5 ranking if this was resolved. Would like to see a separate field for translators names, although they often are listed as authors when the details are obtained via ISDN number and such a field might need to be manually updated.

I have thousands of books, and this app is a great way to keep track of them all. So far I only have a few major complaints: 1) I wish you could add multiple genres, separated by a semi-colon or comma, that would sort into each genre. 2) I really, really wish there was a check box for 'I own this book' I've made a separate bookshelf for that, but a check box would be so much better! 3) Multi-select for deletion!!!! This would be a lifesaver!

Worked for about a week, then suddenly it gives me an error msg saying 'no Internet connection.' Except there is. Connection is fine. I'm writing this review on it now. But this app out of the blue can't access it. Which pretty much makes it useless. Save yourself the aggravation until this is debugged.

Like the app. overall. I've already added over 80 books with many, many more to go. A couple of issues, though. 1. There are too many steps to check off that you have read a book - select the book, select the edit icon, select notes, select that you've read it, then select save. Given that marking a book as read is a common occurrence, it seems like marking a book as read would be easier. 2. When I try to scan Barcode/ISBNs, sometimes it tells me that the ISBN is invalid, but when I enter the ISBN manually, the book is found. Beyond those two issues, though, I like the software and am looking forward to finally getting my library cataloged. Update: Since this upgraded to version 5.2.0 - It hasn't gotten any better about scanning the ISBN. Half the time it doesn't find it until I key it in manually. Also, it seems to take longer now to find the book after the ISBN is entered.

I like it but don't love it. To get me fully into the app I would really appreciate a way of getting stats, such as number of books read by month. Also, it could do with a facelift as it's looking a little dated.

Really want this app to work...Please help Can't scan, please fix I just downloaded this app in hopes of capturing my book collection for inventory and when I went to scan my first book it opened up the Michael's app!!! I want to be able to scan my books into this app so it's quick and easy. Please fix our tell me what I am doing wrong.

Great app. Unlike the Goodreads app you can look at your library without any sort of internet, which is great. Not only that but you can import your Goodreads library. This app saved me from having to redo my entire library. Bit of a issue with the scanner crashing every once and awhile but other then that i have no complaints. Would definitely recommend this app to all book readers and collectors.

I just downloaded this app in how of capturing my book collection for inventory and when u went to scan my first book it opened up the Michael's app!!! I want to be able to scan my books into this app so it's quick and easy. Please fix our tell me what I am doing wrong.

I used this app with my previous phone but now that I've upgraded nothing scans. Library Thing is not working. It will not even open the scanner.

After upgrading my os to android 6.0 I am facing a problem. The non editable page of the app is showing the book cover photo but when I am tapping a book to go to the editable page where the book description showes the book cover photo is not displaying. I have tried to change the settings but still the problem is continuing

This is probably the best books managing app out there, not only it is easy to use, it also allows you to export import and backup the book list, even better, it is free! For those who had difficulty scanning, try QuickMark, I have no problem scanning with it. BTW I hope the app designer would consider making a cosmetics managing app.

Very fast and accurate addition of books through scan, ISBN entry, or Google search. I've scanned about 75 books per hour and only the really obscure ones require manual entry. The interface is loaded with features including CSV import/export, and all the ones I've tried work. Don't bother looking for any other app, just get this one!

Used to be able to scan books in to app, no longer can. Please fix?

So I've had this app for a while and just started adding my books. I've added 96 so far with no real complaints. It's really straight forward and very easy to use. I love that it adds everything about the book after you scan it. I've had to search the internet for some which is not a big deal and also takes little time. But to do so, you need a LibraryThing account, slight con there and you have to download a different scanner. But overall still a great app and will stop me from buying more duplicates lol.

This app is awesome. I sometimes have to turn off the WiFi to get the book to show up because some book stores are either too slow or maybe don't allow. Either way I can just turn it off and it works fine. It also allows you to move books from Wanted to My Books fairly easy when you get that book.

Nice interface, the sorting of books by author and series is great. Scanning works flawlessly already added over 60 books. Like the intergration of LibraryThing, makes it a breeze to select the correct cover of your book, making it redundant to try to take a photo of your book. Only thing this app needs is better system for marking a book as read and even a tally of how many times you've read it.

I originally thought it was a great app so when I got a new phone I redownloded it but low and behold my over 100 books list was gone and had to be rescanned each book then I clicked something to make sure the list was backed up and got a new phone and yet again lost it all .. Two thumbs down

Downloaded recommended Zxing scan app in order to scan titles to this app. Zxing doesn't work. Tried a different scan app, now this app tells me it only works with Zxing or pic2shop scan apps, and not the scan app I was trying to use (which, sadly, was actually working for me - recommended Zxing and pic2shop scan apps don't). This app needs to be more flexible with scan apps thay can be used with it. Reading other reviews, this seems to be a common issue the developer has not addressed.
