iCollect Books: ISBN Database

If you have books, few or... many (as it is my case) this is the best app you can find. I have tried some others and even used one to add my 6,000 plus books...! Now I am migrating to book buddy as it is much much better. The guys at the technical support of the book buddy app helped me with the conversion of the file so would not miss any bit of information! Thanks!!

Muy bueno, lastima que no este en español.

Hay apps más baratas que hacen lo mismo y además te hace comprar otra licencia si quieres instalarla en iPad y iPhone o iPod.

Le falta el idioma castellano, uno de los más hablados, tiene bugs en cuanto a las imágenes. Por lo demás la idea es muy buena, falta mejorar la base de datos, me imagino que irá a más con el tiempo. Las 5 estrellas para cuando se resuelva el resto de problemas.

It looks good, but the barcode data base is missing practically all common books so you have to key them in yourself. Then after a month they try to make you buy "unlimited" barcode scanner (€2.99) and the crappy scanner doesn't even work anymore. They think they've hooked you because you've already made an investment of your time to put in 10 or so books.

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”.

You have to pay 29.99 to enter more than 30 books

I’ve got several thousand books that I’ve collected over the years. I had them in a database perhaps 20 years ago which crashed. It’s taken me thus long to get over that failure and get my collection organized. I reviewed multiple “best” lists for book collecting and this app was the best. What seemed unique was that I could add pictures of the actual book in the collection. For some reason most, or all, either didn’t allow pictures, or only one picture could be used. This app now appears to be the gold standard with book collections.

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

I love this app, I can take pictures of my books, organize them pretty much however I like, as well as change the organization easily. It helps me know exactly what I have, making it easy when I go book shopping what I have or need. There are a few annoying bugs in the app. Sometimes when I am putting in a new books info it changes to another book I have already put it! I don’t understand how this happens but it has occurred several times. I’m working down the list of info and them some I haven’t entered is already filled in, then I scroll to the top and see that I am now altering a previous book entry. So I have to back out without saving changes so not to alter a current entry and start over. Also when downloading the app on my tablet I see that several of my entries (originally set up on my phone) have reverted back to their original images from a chosen book entry, instead of the ones I changed them too (but only on my tablet, the images on my phone are correct) So I had to go in through my tablet and change/add the photos again. However I am enjoying the app and hoping that these small programing errors will be fixed in the future.
