## Review summary

Users widely praise iCollect Books for helping avoid duplicate purchases, keeping an organized, searchable catalog, and adding cover photos. The paid version is valued by many for removing entry limits, and the app supports broad customization and sharing across households. However, several recurring downsides appear: a free tier with a 30-book cap and costly upgrades; concerns about data security and loss after hacks or device changes; bugs and syncing issues across devices that affect edits and images; and some frustrating search behavior (case sensitivity and exact-spelling requirements).

### Pros

- Helps prevent buying duplicate copies by tracking owned books and series.
- Easy organization and quick cataloging with customizable fields and filters.
- Allows adding cover photos for each entry, making the collection visually clear.
- Paid version removes limits on the number of books and provides unlimited cataloging.

### Cons

- Free tier is limited to about 30 books; upgrades are pricey and not always clearly disclosed.
- Accounts can be hacked or data can be lost, and transfers to new devices can erase or fail to import lists.
- Cross‑device bugs and syncing issues (edits affecting other entries, images reverting on tablets, etc.).
- Search and data entry limitations (case‑sensitive search, strict spelling required, some searches fail or require exact text).
