I almost cried. It is that easy to scan/bulk scan. I spent hours adding to Librarika for it to lock me out. I then tried Library Thing- not bad... But this is SO easy. I just clicked each book I had entered on Library Thing and it found the ISBN within seconds. it *maybe* took 10 minutes to add all 70+ books. Press and hold a book to add a tag- the tag doesn't exist? create and save. it is flawless integration! Can't wait to start lending ❤️

This is one of the most useful apps, if not the the most useful one on my phone. I managed to create a catalogue of hundreds of books in less than a couple of hours. Its scan feature is amazing and allows you to add your books to the catalogue by scanning the ISBN barcodes. It finds them even before you've had time to fully scan the barcodes! It works extremely fast! Being able to sort and search books based on categories is also extremely useful. Thank you for developing such a wonderful app.

Just got blindsided by the paywall. I updated my phone, so I backed up my library for the big transfer only to find out they limit imports over 100 books to PRO. I would rather scan my books all over than give them a dime after this. Sadly, the app works well, although the scans give some wild genre and description tags that don't work great on other platforms. Definitely going to look for other options, perhaps a private catalog within something like Obsidian.
