## Description

**My Book List - Library Tracker** helps readers catalog, organize, and track their personal libraries. Use AI-powered shelf scanning to identify multiple books at once, scan individual barcodes, or import Kindle and CSV, TSV, JSON, XLSX, BibTeX, and RIS files. The app can also detect whether a book is already in your collection.

Track books as **Read**, **Reading**, or **To Read**, add tags, browse reading stats, and search your library using natural language. Smart sorting by genre, mood, and theme makes it easier to organize your shelves, while iPhone and iPad sync keeps your collection available across devices, including offline access. The app is free to start with up to 20 books and three barcode scans, with subscription options available.

## Review summary

Users praise the app for its easy entry, clean layout, and classroom-friendly organization, including saving covers and keeping a portable library. However, recurring problems dominate: updates causing data loss, a costly subscription model with frequent upgrade prompts, unreliable barcode scanning with token limits, and ongoing glitches that crash or strip metadata. Some reviewers still find value when the app runs smoothly, but data integrity and cost concerns frequently overshadow features like notes, ratings, and cover art.

### Pros

- Super easy to add books and keep a running log.
- Nice layout and easy to view your library visually.
- Great for classroom inventory and organizing titles.
- Saves book covers and allows ratings/notes for each entry.
- Portable, searchable list of owned or read books you can access anywhere.

### Cons

- Data loss after updates; books/history disappearing.
- Subscription/coins pay model is costly and triggers frequent upgrade prompts.
- Barcode scanner limited to only a few scans before tokens; no continuous scanning.
- Frequent glitches/crashes, freezes, and missing cover art.
- Incomplete data for some books and difficulties importing from Kindle; not all fields available.
