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).

2026-06-12	Im*****	The very first book I scanned, came up with the correct cover for the book. I am scanning, the description is for the wrong book. I’m scanning a vintage sunset book called kingdoms for kids, but the description of the book that comes up is for a story, not a how to, something completely different. I don’t know if that’s because I’m scanning a vintage book and maybe a newer book has taken over the ISPN? But I’m not able to edit the entry. I am able to edit the title of the book, but not the authors, and not the description. If this app is going to be useless for my vintage sunset books, useless to me in general because I’m mainly scanning vintage books.

2026-03-17	4 *****	I love this app for keeping track of my books because sometimes I forget which one I already have in a series and it’s nice to just be able to open my phone and be like ok I already have that one. Especially since I read a lot of manga. 🤣

2026-01-08	Sc*****	I am so thrilled that I have this app on my phone. It has enabled me to almost completely stop me from buying multiple copies of the same book over the years. I say almost cause the times I buy the same book that I have is due to the fact that I don’t check my list before I purchase “said” book, but I’m getting better at remembering to check my list of books.

2025-11-29	ck*****	To tell you how much I love this app, let me start off by saying I don’t pay for apps. If it ain’t free, I don’t use them. But this one so impressed me after reaching my “free limit” of books that I decided to purchase the full version. And I have zero buyers’ remorse! And the one time a feature was added that was inconvenient, they responded quickly and chose to offer an opt-out of the feature! Great work guys, keep it up!!

2025-08-24	ES*****	This is a nice app but I wish it would have an unlimited option or let the purchaser know the number limits ahead of time. As a teacher I have many books and even after purchasing the supposed unlimited option was only able to put in 50 books and now asking for more money. Makes this teacher not very happy.

2025-08-05	RM*****	The iCollect Suite of apps for the various types of items is the best way of quickly and efficiently cataloging a large collection. I have a large library of books, music, and games and all 3 apps let me quickly create and maintain an accurate database of all my collection for ease of reference wither its on the go when shopping and I want to make sure I don’t already have a title or just to have a complete record in case of fires or other home disasters. The only thing I don’t understand is why the app insists on giving items a negative $ value by default instead of just using the listed MSRPs.
