## LibraryThing 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.

## LibraryThing Reviews in United States

### **--- "Crashes constantly!"
Crashes often. No back button to get from scan mode to the home page. 
Frustrating.
-- Kairos.life, 2025-01-02

### *---- "It never works!"
Started off great. Now it never works.
-- Nicole McCain, 2024-10-15

### *---- "this is a basic app"
I had high hopes for this app. However, it has a lot of flaws, and programming that does not address basic user needs. It’s basically useless for anything that isn’t currently in print. So if you are book collector, expect to have to do a lot of manual searching and sorting through possible correct records, but no guarantee it’s the right edition or printing. There’s a lot of available free online records out there to use, but this does not have many items that collectors actually would like to see. You might get incorrect entries, requiring you to enter in the correct information, there’s going to be lowercase titles, member tags that aren’t relevant for you, no clarity in your search as to what edition or publication date you’re looking at to select from. and it’s also really glitchy, and not intuitive. sorry. in needs way more beta testing than it got.
-- Recovering artist, 2024-10-11

### ***-- "Great idea, needs tweaks"
Great idea and amazing to have a catalog, unfortunately the app glitches when I try to go into the tags tab. Tags were the main reason behind the catalog for downloading this app for me, hence the 4 stars.
-- Ohmyoctopi, 2024-08-22

### ***** "Top book inventory"
It’s free!
This is my favorite app for keeping track of my inventory of books
-- Mocha1122, 2024-08-20

### ***-- "Need iPad App"
Please add an app for the iPad. Using the iPhone version on a larger tablet is crazy - it’s just too small.
-- Kim-KK, 2024-04-30

### ***-- "Could be better"
As a place to see what books you own? It good.  However it lacks almost all the features that the website has which is fairly disappointing.   It would even be better if the viewing of books could be seen in the way the website does, like Dewy or Library of Congress.
-- Shomayreeyah592, 2024-04-19

### *---- "Poor function"
The website is wonderful, but the app often crashes or freezes on both my phone and tablet, and the barcode scanner consistently causes the app to stop working. It would be much more useful as an app if the barcode worked and we’re not so slow.
-- Anthony5464, 2024-04-10

### *---- "Longtime user, but missing key feature in app"
I love LibraryThing. I’ve used the web version pretty much since they started, and I purchased the lifetime membership shortly afterward. But one key feature, pretty much the only feature that I want in a mobile version, is missing: sort by call number. It boggles the mind that the primary benefit of accessing one’s library like this is not a feature of the mobile app. Sure, the covers of my books look great, but why would anyone need to sort by “date added” or “rating”? If you’re organizing a large personal library, which has long been LT’s strength, call number is key.
-- JAndrewEdwards, 2024-03-30

### ****- "Import option"
The only things that I’d like to improve are being able to scan mass market books into the app and being able to import titles and etc from our Nook and Kindle libraries.
-- Haddie Rickman, 2024-03-02
