Ratings and Reviews
A must have app
Easy to use. Feature rich and not too expensive. Love the feature that helps keep track of where your books are and to whom you’ve borrowed it. Backup feature is also a nice add on. Easy to scan multiple barcodes makes adding books a breeze, and alerts to duplicate scans. Resourceful search feature for the older books in the collection.
I’d highly recommend this to anyone that has more than one book, and I do whenever the subject of books come up.
BookBuddy
Brilliant App for cataloging your books. Very easy scan isbn, or search on web by title, even search web for a photo, so you don’t have to actually take a picture and load. Enter all the info on the book from price purchased, to selling price. Export as a csv, and can upload to various platforms. My only issue is I wish that it would do currency conversions, and that the platform for weight and dimensions was more accessible. I give this a good 8.5/10. It’s value for money definitely, and as a seller of books I’m finding it very useful in that I can see what I paid for my book and what I intend selling it for. I use the loaned out as “sold” also the searching for your inventory is awesome.
Best app ever!!
Absolutely fantastic app, meets all my needs! And for all its capabilities, the price for pro version was CHEAP! Well well worth it!
