Review summary

Libib is strong for fast barcode scanning and multi-type cataloging (books, media, games) with a clean UI and useful manual-entry/notes. The free version is a plus. Common downsides across reviews are unreliable barcode recognition, data loss after updates, occasional freezes, and awkward photo-upload steps. Users also cite UI regressions and limited filtering/search options after updates. Overall, it’s a solid home-library tool with ongoing improvement, but stability and feature-completeness are cited as needed improvements.

Pros

Fast barcode scanning and quick cataloging for large collections
Easy cross-media cataloging: books, CDs, DVDs, and games in one library
Notes feature and manual-entry options for non-barcoded items
Visually improved UI with cover images in list view and intuitive design
Free version provides substantial functionality for home inventories

Cons

Barcode scanning is not always reliable and often requires manual entry
Updates can cause data loss or removal of collections (regression)
Stability issues like freezes or crashes during use
Photo add workflow is clunky (no easy direct add from camera, no zoom, extra cropping/upload steps)
UI/UX regressions after updates and limited filtering/search features (navigation quirks, missing savable filters)

2026-08-21	Si*****	Wanted to try using this app to catalog my Blu Ray dvd collection. The app wouldn’t authenticate my attempts to create a password. Oh well.

2026-08-20	Co*****	It’s a great app. I love how for physical book you can scan them and add them to your list very easily. There are a couple of special editions that don’t scan though. One thing I noticed is that if the title of a book starts with the word “The” it doesn’t appear when you add it on the list. I would love if the word “The can appear, because there are books with similar titles the “The” does make a difference. Other than that it’s awesome.

2026-08-05	Si*****	I love this app. It has been very helpful as my husband and I build our collection, to make sure we do not buy any doubles of books we don’t necessarily want doubles of. I thought I could only search my book title but I figured out how to look for by author.

2026-07-25	re*****	Out of 367 movies 24 could kept be found in their system. Including films like: Italian job, monsters inc., Schindler’s list…. Manual input is tedious and won’t let me fill out completely…

2026-07-19	Ee*****	Mostly love this app would just love using it more if when it doesn't recognize a barcode it would let you make an entry for it from that point. And I wish the app version would let you search for titles not in your library, like you can on the desk top version. Would absolutely love the ability to just add an already existing entry in the app instead of having to use my computer.

2026-07-19	ES*****	The scanner reads barcodes instantly, no matter how small. I have a relatively small book collection and I thought entering the books’ information would be grueling, but Libib made the process easier than I would have thought possible. If you have a larger collection you can scan hundreds or even thousands of codes effortlessly. I’m quite impressed.

2026-07-16	pe*****	I have been trying to figure out an easy way to track my own collection. Setting it up is super fast and easy if the books are new enough to have barcodes. I do have a lot of books written earlier than the late 1980s, so it did take some time to enter those. You can edit existing descriptions and various other notes, make however many categories as you wish, and it even has a way to catalog your games! Looking forward to using this aspect of the app, too. You get to have pictures of your own books. If there is an existing picture you can edit it to show your own. Very nice feature!
