iCollect Books: Library List App Reviews

I have a big library at home, and I always like buying tons of books every time I can, so this app comes really handy whenever you need to know what you have, what you have or havent read, the information about all your books, and a count of all of them. Totally recommend!!!

Awesome for managing my classrooms books

Totally worth the money if u have a lot of books that u need to keep track of--me being teacher with over 400 books. I just wish I could have the app on my phone and iPad and not have to pay for it for each device. Thats a bummer since its one account but I have to pay twice? Sketchy.

The first ten books I entered by taking pics of the upc pulled up from the data base right away. I still had to add the author and publisher though which seemed odd, but oh well its a free app right? However, after the tenth book, I was forced to upgrade to the paid version if I wanted to add anything else. The only reason I downloaded the app in the first place was because it was free. Maybe I missed the fine print somewhere but it felt like a "bait and switch" to me. In for a dollar in for a dime so I went ahead and paid for the upgrade. None of the books I tried to add after that were found by upc pics after that. I found I could do a manual search using the title and I could pull up all the info once the title was selected. Dont know which is better, having to enter all the info after the ease of taking a pic or having all the lines filled in automatically after going to the trouble of manually entering the title. For a paid App I was really wanting the best of both worlds. I will not use this App for any of my other collections like games or movies,

This does a fine job of helping me to keep track of all the books I have. But to be able to access it on my desktop computer it will cost $24.99. That is way too much for what this can do!

I thought I was going to love this app. I cant use the camera anymore and have to use the manual isbn to enter a book. Not much if a big deal but a book will be listed with the right cover but the author lusted is wrong. It has happened more than once. And I cant fix it myself. Kind of irritating. Im tempted to drop this app and just use my computer and do the extra work to catalog my books.

Cant create an an account due to an error message. Tried deleting then reinstalling, same issue. It says to contact support. Ill just invest my time in another app. Shouldnt have to create an account....Buh-bye!

Very pleased with this app. Thank you!

This app seems like such a good idea…. but it just does not work. It hangs, gets stuck, remains unresponsive, its slow…. it’s unbearable. I haven’t been able to look at all its features, and only managed to scan one ISBN number… took over an hour for me to manage that.

I bought this thinking it would be easy to manage collection. It constantly crashes, refuses to store new additions, slow to boot up. Overall, a rip off.

What I do like: The bookshelf visual Sort your books many ways Scan option It allows to categorize by series Wishes: It would be nice if the user could add their own genre or if creator could add the following: Non Fiction Bible Study Contemporary Fiction Fiction Christian Fiction

This app gets one star because it does record books. Aside from that it is not that good at what it is supposed to do. Camera scan does not work at all. It always asked for you to enter manual isbn, so whats the point. Even then using isbn does not always give correct data.

I have use this app to record my library of over 500 books. Every book with a barcode ISBN scanned in easily using either the single camera scan or the bulk feature available through the in app purchase (which I did buy - totally worthwhile). If the book did not have a scannable ISBN, it was easy to use the searchable database to manually look it up. If the book was not in the database the app has a simple interface for adding it. The app does crash every so often after using it for a while, but what app doesnt. You can also export your library list as a CSV file. This is seriously the best library management app I have found, and I have used many trying to find one that works well. 6 out of 5 stars.

Yes you have to pay to unlock the rest after 20 books but it is worth it. I have well over 2000 books in my collection and of all the apps Ive used this has been the best.

Love this app!!! Keeps me up to date with books I have, books I have read and books I want to read!!! Simple informative format! Best book app I have tried!

Just love this app! No need to search for books that I own; theyre all listed right here. I only would like the option to list books by author name rather than title since I dont always remember titles but never forget an author.

Good concept, but does not work correctly.

Im able to consolidate all my past reads into one agreated view. Help me remember and encourage me to continue grow my library! I wish - Defect fix: Less buggy. The app shot me out couple times during my first use. Feature: Enable the user to write a review about the book they read and store that piece of information together in the database. So when exporting, all the information are organized. Add sync data from kindles and iBook. Sync image/cover data Sync to Dropbox for backup purpose so I wouldnt have to email myself and do it manually. UI When I click a book item from the home page. The app takes me to the detail book view page. Please collapse/hide the menu sections that have no useful data. such as genre, series, narrative.. Etc. This will simplify the view so I dont have to scroll away the way to the bottom to edit my personal stuff:p Lydia

Keeps freezing on my iPhone and some of the books I have that I got on Amazon it wont recognize.

Im very pleased with this app. Im creating a list of books Ive already read ( to avoid repeats) and, with tech help from Sortit, its quite easy. With cover pictures of each book its very colorful!!
