Features & Capabilities

Scan a barcode, find the book instantly. Organize your shelves, batch scan your whole collection, and export to Goodreads. Your personal library lives in your pocket.

I was at a friend's cabin last summer. She had this shelf, tucked behind the sofa, absolutely packed with books I'd never heard of. I wanted all of them. So I just stood there, scanning one after another, straight into my phone. Thirty books in two minutes. That's what ISBN Book Scanner does.

Point your camera at any book's barcode. The app picks it up and looks it up across Open Library, Google Books, Apple Books and more, all at once. You get the title, author and cover in a second or two.

BATCH SCANNING Got a whole shelf to go through? Flip on batch mode. Scan book after book without stopping. The app keeps a running count, and you can review them all when you're done. Perfect for moving day, library visits, or that cabin shelf.

YOUR SHELVES Every book you scan lands in your library. Mark them as Read, Currently Reading, or Want to Read. Create your own shelves. Maybe one for the books you keep lending out and never get back.

EXPORT Take your collection with you. Export to Goodreads, The StoryGraph, or a plain CSV file. Share a single book's citation in plain text, BibTeX or Markdown. Handy for students, researchers, or anyone who likes their references tidy.

BUY FROM ANYWHERE Tap through to Apple Books, Amazon, or Bookshop.org. Your choice. The app links to bookstores across 20 countries, so you can buy local or go digital, wherever you are.

GO PREMIUM The first 10 books are free, with all sources and all features. Premium unlocks unlimited library size, removes ads, and lets you pick your preferred Amazon store.

User Reviews

Only one scan allowed before it asks you to purchase premium version. It won't keep the scan either- no history. So pointless!

Doesn't Work - poor customer support. Disappointing.

Free version does nothing but invite you to buy the premium version...
