C’est vraiment la meilleure application que j’ai eue. Grandes félicitations Gilles-André
Extremely useful!
Paleodave
Been using this app for managing my library. Easy to use with a visually appealing interface. Bar scanning is quick. Have had trouble with the online search and it may take several tries to get a result. Only suggestion would be the ability to add magazines. Even the addition of volume and issue entries would be helpful.
Vraiment pratique

Vraiment pratique pour garder quelques notes, mais surtout pour faire le suivi des prêts à nos amis! Bon prix!
My vade mecum
Blurtski
This is an essential app for any hardcore bibliophile; it makes bookshelf management both easy and pleasurable. The interface is clear and user friendly, the fields are eminently customizable, and the app is inexpensive. This is one of the apps I use most often on my phone. Gone are the days of my inadvertently buying doubles of books I already own. I highly recommend it; there are no down sides to this piece of software. A big thank you and bravo to the devs!
