Ratings and Reviews
At last, a fun, easy way to document my book library.
Surprised me how many books I own - no more double purchases now though. Great product - easy to use and very quick book retrieval by barcode. Fresh, clear user interface. Very convenient and has the essential auto backup to iCloud for sharing across devices. BookBuddy has been around for years and it’s great to see that the author is still keeping it up to date.
New note: just found the Wish List function - keeps getting better and better!
Best app!
My favourite way to keep track of the books I’ve read and the books I want to read. Easy to use, with easily searchable books. I even bought the pro version so I could keep using it!
Great functionality
Love how easy it was to add the books to this app and build my library quickly. I would love the ability to share a view of my library with other app users so that I could ask to borrow a book from them and vice versa.
Really enjoying having a list of my books at my fingertips to check against in bookstores!
