LibraryThing - Reviews, Revenue and Downloads - Apple App Store

Description

The LibraryThing app allows LibraryThing members to catalog and browse their collections. LibraryThing is focused on books, but you can add most media, including books, DVDs and CDs. LibraryThing relies on data from Amazon, and over 65 million library records.

Add books by searching for them or scanning their ISBN barcode with the camera.

Add high-resolution cover photos of your books with the cover editor and browse your books by cover type to find copies that need better covers.

Barcode scanner broken

On my phone now the barcode scanner won’t sharpen on the barcodes, it’s just fuzzy so I can’t scan anymore.

I am happy for the update

I been using LibraryThing since 2010. Still I am using the website site instead of the app. I wish there was an app for the iPad. LibraryThing is one of the best Book Collection available.

It Sucks

It doesn’t recognize half of my collection. The first time using 12 books in a row could not be found. Special editions and book subscription box books can’t be found. (Like Owlcrate editions) As well as indie author books, even purchased from Amazon, can not be found. This app also has a cap, so too bad for people with large libraries.

Very limited

Barcode scanner function is neat but if you are interested in adding older, uncatalogued titles there is no way to manually add your book. Also, can’t we create new collections? Make it a limited amount for server space, but at least make it possible to create a new collection through the app. I have a growing collection of old comic books that I would like distinguished from the monographs. Serials in general deserve their own collection in the greater catalogue.

Really like this app...

But wish I could see my Library offline (Have no Home Internet) or wish I could save Library (pdf or csv) to Pocket app or Drive. Other than that it’s great.

I want to use this app, but...

I decided to switch to Library Thing because of Amazon and the tight integration with Goodreads. However, in this app, Amazon is the only book seller as a search option. I want to be able to manually add book stores, but this app does not have that feature.

Full of bugs - barely usable

Says I’m not connected to the internet but I am, says too many HTTP redirects but other apps search ISBNs fine. Really expected better from LibraryThing but they messed this up badly. Save yourself the aggravation and don’t download this.

Love except for one thing

This is my favourite app for keeping track of my books! I do wish there was a way to manually enter a book that’s not on any of their databases though. I have some older books that I can’t add at all.

Glad I finally found it

Great companion app for quick library scanning onto the librarything website. 150 books in 1 1/2 hours is amazing.

This app

I also agree that it would be helpful to be able to categorize books by author, genre etc.
