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

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.

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 of manual entry. 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.
