BookBuddy: My Library Manager

I'm using BookBuddy in Mac and iPad. Sync happens instantly and both UIs are easy to use. Very reliable app which allows user to add as much (or little) information as is needed. F.e. I don't keep track of how I read or listen books, but simply which I have read and which are unread. Books can be categorised and tagged, but no need to do so if that is not needed. For me, best part is option to note book's location.

Can’t recommend this app highly enough if you have a lot of books! So helpful to scan their bar codes and inventory them, and you can track which ones you’ve loaned out, etc. Download it!

I love this app and how much cheaper it is compared to other book collection apps, one time payment of $5 for unlimited amounts of books u can scan in, ive seen apps cost $30 or monthly payments, so this was the best deal! U can easily sort the books you own and everything! I collect manga’s and they all scanned!!! Which is a huge plus cause some apps cap at vol. 5 for a series, but here u can add the whole series! Down side would be i wish i could calculate the total cost of my collection, like have an estimate value of all the books i own.

pretty great and we rebuilt our school catalogue with it …

This app is pretty good, but it is a WILD choice to make “Sort by Author” use the author’s first name instead of the last name.

As a spreadsheet, list-writing individual, I love this app. I really like how I can search by title, author, series, or a whole host of other ways. The 3 things I have on my wishlist for this app are that 1. I wish I could import my kindle library directly into it instead of having to type each book in manually and fill in all the details and 2. I wish I could print the list out, at least title and author, or export to excel so that instead of going through each book I could use a search to determine if I remembered to add a book. Right now, I have over 7000+ books on my kindle and I buy more. I don’t always remember to add them. 3. I wish there was a way to move between my books without always having to start at the beginning. It would be nice if there were a back button so that I could return to where I had been if I need to leave it to double check something else.

Would have been a solid five stars if the books in a series would display in numerical order. For some reason, volume 10 in a series goes under volume 1, and so on until volume 20 goes under volume 2. If that gets fixed, then I will amend my review. But other than that, I LOVE this app. I’ve been looking for a way to track my book/manga collection without having to use a spreadsheet and this pretty much knocked it out of the park. 🥰

This app kept asking for me to submit a review when I was trying to use it. It was annoying. One star.

I use this app to keep track of the 4,000+ books in my classroom library. I started with the free version but soon upgraded for more storage and it was worth every cent. I love that I check books out to students (and fellow staff members) and have instant access to see who has my books. I can quickly check for books to go with specific topics, and interests for students. I use it regularly to check titles so I don’t buy books I already have. My only wish for this app is a quick way to print a list of titles. There may be a way to do that but I’m still learning.

This app addresses all my needs. I so much appreciate all the information fields and Notes area. I love the ability to add custom tags, like the “signed by character” tag i added to a book in my library. The Developer seems to have thought of everything, is willing to continue to change the app to address problems and new technology. . Note to users: 2 things you may want to change in the Settings: -Author’s Name switch to Last, First as it defaults to First Last -Ignore Prefixes turn this on and edit the prefixes list to your preferences.
