Fast to add books (0 more)

So easy!

Holy pickles! I can not say enough about this app! I have been looking for a way to better categorize my books for years. I recently rearranged my loving room (where all my books live) and I needed to take all my books from the shelves to move the book cases I have. It was quite a process but I figured, since all the books needed to come off the shelves anyway, I might as well put them away in a much more organized fashion.

Luckily, I was able to find this wonderful app. It was SO easy to use! All I needed to do was scan the ISBN on my books and it loaded them onto my virtual bookshelves. It must pull the information from the internet somewhere because when you add a new book, it provides so much information for you (if it is part of a series, who published it, a description, a picture of the cover, how many pages). It also allows you to edit the books on your shelves. You can give a rating, note if you read the book, indicate when you started and finished the book, and you can note if you loaned the book to a friend! The best part is that you can organize your books in SO many different ways (author’s last name, unread books first, title, series, genre, publication date, date added, etc).

This app is such a life saver! It took me just over an hour to scan all 488 books I own and mark them read. It made the process of putting them all back on the shelves so much faster because it was all listed in the order that I wanted. Also, it provided a picture of the cover of the book so I knew what I was looking for when trying to find them to put back on the shelf. I love that it tells you if you have already entered the book when you scan one in… that way you don’t make the mistake of buying extra copies of books, unless you intend to.
