1. [R3] iCollect Books 3/5 · US Nice app: This is a nice app but I wish it would have an unlimited option or let the purchaser know the number limits ahead of time. As a teacher I have many books and even after purchasing the supposed unlimited option was only able to put in 50 books and now asking for more money. Makes this teacher not very happy.
2. [R6] iCollect Books 3/5 · US Easy to use: The app is easy to use and has settings to set how you want your list to show. The app, only allows you to add 30 books. Once you’ve added 30 you’ll need to pay. It’s a little more than I was looking to pay, but over all is a nice app.
3. [R13] iCollect Books 1/5 · US Not free: You have to pay 29.99 to enter more than 30 books
4. [R16] iCollect Books 2/5 · US Only 30 books allowed for free: As of 7/19/24, the max allowed of books scanned in for free is 30. This is ridiculous, as anybody who is scanning ISBN’s to add to a list has a large quantity of books
5. [R1] iCollect Books 1/5 · US Wrong the book showed up when I entered the ISBN: The very first book I scanned, came up with the correct cover for the book. I am scanning, the description is for the wrong book. I’m scanning a vintage sunset book called kingdoms for kids, but the description of the book that comes up is for a story, not a how to, something completely different. I don’t know if that’s because I’m scanning a vinta
6. [R4] iCollect Books 2/5 · US Meh.: The scanning is clunky, but you can add pretty much any information you want.
7. [R12] iCollect Books 3/5 · US Not reliable: I’ve really tried to like this app, but it seems fairly clueless in finding e-books which I use due to frequent travel. I usually have to put most of the info in myself which is pretty time-consuming. I am out of the country frequently and do not always have access to internet. My database only shows without a connection about 10% of the time - making it an useless resource then. W
8. [R21] iCollect Books 3/5 · US Review: The camera to scan books doesn’t work 😕
9. [R24] iCollect Books 3/5 · US It was great until it crashed: I paid for the upgrade and it was great! I was looking at everything you could do in it and changed the theme color and it crashed. Now I can’t get it to open back up and I’ve scanned almost 400 books into it. I’m so mad I could cry. If I’m not able to get it to open again, I want a refund! I’m not paying $10 for an app that won’t open!
10. [R28] iCollect Books 1/5 · US Scam!: I purchased this app years ago to be able to add all my books. Then they get hacked, all my info in removed, and now I cant add more than 30 books because my account was wiped out and NOW they are asking for $30 to add my books! Its a complete scam! Its not my fault you guys were hacked! Do not get this app, they cant keep our information safe and then we have to pay more money for their mi
11. [R31] iCollect Books 1/5 · US Data is Gone! No Warning!: I have used Books for years. It helped me avoid purchasing duplicate for me and as gifts for others. Now, my list is gone. I would give a rating of 0 stars if that was an option.
12. [R34] iCollect Books 1/5 · US All gone: Data didn’t transfer when i changed to a new phone, years worth of cataloging all gone.
13. [R10] iCollect Books 1/5 · US Stupid app: I can’t delete all of the books that I don’t have because iCollect Books: Library List should add the option “Delete All Books”.
14. [R39] iCollect Books 3/5 · GB Sort it book scanner: Nice app, would be good to sort books by author. Not linked to a database but to users inputs.
15. [R42] iCollect Books 1/5 · US Cannot be “private”: Your collection can only be “public” according to their terms of service. No way exists to keep your collection data private. That’s completely unacceptable and should be BOLDLY stated up front.
16. [R52] Libby 5/5 · US love: absolutely love this app! pls support your local libraries 🫶🏽
17. [R58] Libby 5/5 · US Now my most used app: Thanks to Libby, I have returned to my oldest love. Why I love the app: - it has almost every book I’ve ever been interested in reading n - most books have audiobook versions too which is great for a busy mom like me - ebooks can be easily read in my kindle - I don’t have to spend money on reading - I now read 40* books a year.

19. [R64] Libby 5/5 · US Just what you need🙂: If you love audiobooks but don’t like paying for a subscription, LIBBY is a lifesaver. Being able to monitor your loans and being able to see what’s available at your local library is extremely helpful. I’m very satisfied with the app.

24. [R89] CloudLibrary 5/5 · US Audiobooks: Just love the audiobooks that accompany me on my daily walks. CL is a wonderful source.
25. [R92] CloudLibrary 5/5 · US Her Last Breath: This is the first fictional story I’ve read in years and I’m discovering what I’ve been missing. Great story! Will never go in a cave again.

27. [R97] Reading List 5/5 · US Great to keep things organized!: It’s really a great app, I don’t have pro so I’m sure it only gets better from here! Keeps everything neat, pretty to look at, and organized!
28. [R104] Reading List 5/5 · US Great update!: So glad for the most recent update! Before I was having trouble searching online to add books to my list, but now it seems to be fixed, and they are all popping up! The best feature of this app is that I can make my own lists (as many as I want) and categorize all my books in every little way that I want and then search for them later. Really really helpful!
29. [R105] Reading List 5/5 · US The best reading tracker ever!: I been tracking my books for 3 years now in this app! It’s amazing, clean and not hard to use.
30. [R108] BookBuddy 5/5 · US The best book inventory app: BookBuddy is a wonderful app and it allows for me to maintain a clean inventory for all of the books I own. Once in a while I need to manually add in a book that it doesn’t recognize, but it’s an easy task to do. I highly recommend the app.
31. [R109] BookBuddy 3/5 · US Love it! But have request for change 🤍: I have been using this for years and absolutely love it!! So many awesome features and easy to use! I do ask for 2 things to be changed/updated - 1. Please add the ability to search by personal tags 2. Please add multiple tag categories that can be personalized - for example, I would love to have Topic Tags, Person Tags, Timeframe Tags so that I can go th
32. [R116] BookBuddy 5/5 · US FANTASTIC APP: I love this app - I can scan barcodes or enter ISBNs in manually, take photos of covers that don’t automatically apply, and even keep track of which books I’ve leant out. First 50 books are free to scan, then a one time and lifetime price for $10. I’m using this to keep track of my 300+ books and as evidence for any insurance needs!
33. [R120] BookBuddy 5/5 · US Best app for personal library management: Obsessed with this app and all the ways I can keep track of the books I own. I love the tag feature, changing how the books are sorted, the reading status, all of it. Amazing app!!
34. [R19] iCollect Books 1/5 · US Costs $30: $30 to have more than 50. $30. Insane.
35. [R20] iCollect Books 4/5 · US Disappointed: Great app as long as you don’t have over 30 books. Free until 30. But 31+ will cost $29.99. That should be in description.
36. [R22] iCollect Books 1/5 · US $30: You can add 30 books for free, after that you ha to lay 30 bucks?
