So many features and so easy to use! I have over 900 books on my bookcases and another 150+ in my wish list and this makes it so easy to keep a record to ensure I don’t double up. It even keeps a record of where you’ve stored each particular book and has books borrowed and loaned out categories. I use it constantly and rate each book and then write a review in the notes section of each title. I can’t recommend it highly enough and have recommended it to many folk in Facebook bookclubs I belong to. 10/10 stars from this author/bibliophile!
They really listen - best library app
Gaznem
I’ve reviewed this app before. 5 stars then, 5 stars now. Before I said I wished I could move a book from one shelf to another the same way I can change a book’s reading status, and they did it. This app really is a gem, and the people who developed it are so approachable. Email them with a question, and they respond very promptly. Make a suggestion for an improvement, and they might even implement it. Thank you Kimico
Great book library software and that is not all it does
Syngentian
I had over 1100 books in another library app which closed down. I looked around and ended up here. So glad I did. The support is second to none. The system is so easy to use. One very happy book reader
Fantastic and Unser Friendly
ShawD7
I bought this app to track my library of read and unread books. It does a very good job and is very user friendly. An addition to this app that would greatly improve it, and save me using another app for this feature, would be recommendations based on my ratings of my ‘read’ books. Is there any scope on this feature being applied?
