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.

2026-08-09	Bo*****	The main feature of the app is behind a pay wall. I understand charging for some features of an app, but when I downloaded this “free” app to keep track of what books I have. But you need to pay for premium or for “tokens” in order to scan books which feels misleading. Making the app useless unless you pay up. I was going to consider paying for the premium once I found out if I liked the app or not because the cost is reasonable and I have a lot of books to keep track of but I can’t even throughly test if I like the app.

2026-05-24	Ro*****	Sucks that you have to pay for this app to be functional, but it’s the most aesthetically pleasing app I’ve found SO FAR. The newest update deleted all my tags, and there’s no way for me to take a tag off a book without deleting it, so that’s annoying. You can’t rearrange books, which you would think would be an easy thing to implement, but maybe one day. I haven’t had any scanning problems so far like others, but I’ll definitely come back if I experience it. If you want a completely free app, this isn’t for you, but if you’re willing to pay a lil a month for ease OR until you find a better app, it’s not bad.

2026-03-28	선하*****	I have had an account for 2-3 years. 1400+ books added to the app. I get a new book and tried to scan it in the app and it said that I have to pay for a subscription or use coins. That’s just a money scheme. There are free apps that have the same concept that work just as good. I’m gone.

2026-03-13	Fi*****	You can only scan so many before you have to get tokens. You can still add manually, but I have so many books that it’s just not practical. you also can’t put in information like how many chapters there are.

2026-01-16	sa*****	I tried the quiz part of this app to try it for a book I already read and it was very inaccurate. It asks about the main character and doesn’t even list it as an option and it you click out of it and try again it generates different names that are still wrong. If you are getting this to review books, I suggest you to find another app. But if you ask for a summary it gives the right name.

2025-10-07	Sv*****	As much as I love the app, the barcode scanner only works for me about two books in a row. The friends list is weird and won’t let me friend some people. It stopped counting my books around 400. The newest update ruined my book list, got rid of most my covers. It’s glitching so badly. I have used the app for over a year and logged well over 600+ books and I’m devastated that it stopped working.

2025-10-03	An*****	I am furious. I opened my app and was immediately forced to update. When I did, and tried to open the app, an error message popped up, and all of my books have now disappeared. I’ve been using this app for years! Thanks for nothing.
