8 of 25I love this app! HOWEVER, can you please add a feature to where I can decide what fields I want to be standards/required? To have to manually add a field to each book is inefficient, and there are fields that I don’t use that I’d like to remove.🙂 *updated: the feature was there and somehow I missed it, thank you for responding!
Been using for several years now, excellent scope and flexibility. Especially enjoy ability to add own review so that I can share with others my perspectives.
I have been using this app for five years to record my personal library and have currently entered over 9,600 books. It has been very adequate to record the information I want on each item. The app has continued to make improvements through the years. The ability to loan out books is a great feature. I’m glad to recommend it to my friends.
I have over 600 books. This App is very user friendly. It allows me to even track my books that I have loaned out to people. It’s easy to scan new books in as well. All and all it’s a great App for keeping one’s library in order.
While this is a great app to scan your books, I just wish you could batch assign a physical location. Otherwise happy.
I recently bought this app as I wanted to keep better track of the books I bought for myself, my children, and my nieces and nephews. It took a little while to figure out how I wanted to organize everything, but now I have it down and it is AMAZING. I don’t think I’ll ever stop using this app.
Easy to use
I did not know I needed this app until it was recommended to me by a friend. I am able to scan every book I have and put them into gloriously organized categories of my own creation. It scratches every itch in my brain for keeping track of what I own, what I’ve read, what I lent, and what is on my TBR. Better yet, there’s an option to export lists of the books—an exceedingly helpful feature for teachers who want to keep track of a classroom library in the most accessible way I’ve seen. Goodbye, tedious spreadsheets; hello, BookBuddy Pro. Well worth the price; no complaints from me at all. Thank you to the developers of this extremely helpful app!
