I’ve downloaded a few of these apps to see which is the most user friendly. This was one I ended up keeping because it had most of the things I was looking for. Love that it has the statistics for books read and not read. I really enjoy the way it’s set up as well. Really easy to use. The only reason I didn’t rate it 5 stars is because the scanner is not the best. It takes a bit for it to actually scan the book which gets a bit frustrating. Also the fact that I can’t add multiples of the same book. I am a book collector and some books I have multiple copies of. So being able to scan one book several times would be helpful. Other than that it’s a great app and if you don’t have multiples it will work for what you want.

From keeping tracks of books you own, have read, and want to read; it goes beyond by letting us add our notes!! Love being able to track progress and how many times I’ve read, who I’ve lent to or received from. Thank you! Originally had a 5 star, but sadly had to change to 4 star when realized two things. 1) although generous character limit, I dislike that a character limit exists for my notes/thoughts on the book 2) it should allow us to edit how many actual pages are in the book. I don’t read “sources” pages, so it shouldn’t be incorporated in the total pages so there can be more accurate progress percentages.

When the barcode matches the ISBN it’s pretty quick. Dictating the barcode it’s also pretty quick. Edit: The author field is often displayed as <last>, <first>. When sorting by author it’s clearly sorting on <last>, <first>. When exporting, the author field is exported as <first> <last>. The exported list of books is more useful if the author field were <last>, <first>. Also, I have a whole bunch of old books which have an ISBN printed, and a barcode which doesn’t match the ISBN. In order to enter these into the program I have to manually enter the ISBN myself. It would be nice if the program keyed off the text “ISBN” and scanned the characters of the ISBN that follow, ignoring the non-ISBN barcode.
