## Description

**BookBuddy: Book Tracker** is a versatile ISBN scanner and book library manager for iPhone, iPad, and Apple Silicon Mac. Quickly add books by barcode, ISBN, keyword search, CSV import, or manual entry, then organize them into personal, wishlist, borrowed, or previously owned collections. Use tags, categories, notes, custom filters, advanced sorting, reading statuses, duplicate detection, and favorites to keep your catalog organized.

Sync your library with iCloud or Dropbox, export it in CSV, PDF, or HTML formats, track lending activity, and explore statistics such as books finished, pages read, top authors, and favorite genres. Teachers can also manage classroom libraries, student checkouts, reading levels, and checkout history. The free version supports up to 50 books, with unlimited storage available through an in-app purchase.

## Review summary

BookBuddy is praised for its ease of use, fast title search, and strong cataloging tools, all accessible with a one-time purchase rather than a subscription. Key benefits include barcode scanning, room-based organization, loan tracking, and a useful wishlist. A common drawback is that the free tier limits you to 50 books, which pushes users to upgrade to continue expanding their collection.

### Pros

- One-time payment / no ongoing subscription
- Barcode/ISBN scanning saves time
- Easy to use with quick search and retrieval
- Strong cataloging and organization (location/rooms, sorting, loan tracking, reading stats)
- Wishlist feature to track desired titles and avoid duplicates

### Cons

- Free version caps the library at 50 books, requiring an upgrade to add more
