Comments on Book Catalogue for Android

★★★★★ Elizabeth Fraser · Jul 16, 2026
I've been using the free app for years, not sure if I've left a review before so here goes: It's great for organizing my library & checking if I already have a book. I can sort by bookcase, genre or name, group series (in order), check if I've read it or not, write notes and mark who I've lent a book too. The few times I've had problems Evan responded really quickly, was friendly and sorted it out. Being able to automatically back up to the cloud is well worth £1.79 a month.
★★★★★ Tanya van der Walt · Jan 27, 2026
Love the new look. Support for eBooks and a dedicated wishlist feature would be great. Love the app.
★★★★★ Mark Larson · Jun 18, 2026
Love this app! Free, highly customizable, and the scanner works again! So easy to add books and keep track of what you have read, see shelves by author, series genre, or create your own bookshelf.
★☆☆☆☆ Karen Currie · Apr 20, 2024
This has been my favorite app for cataloging my personal library for years, until last year. All of my thumbnails were lost, and I have over 500 books, so going to take a long time to get back. Okay, I can deal with that. However, my biggest issue is that now all the book information no longer enters automatically. I have to choose the book format, series, and book #. I am now having to start looking for a new app and stop recommending this one. Very sad and disappointed.
★☆☆☆☆ Stephanie Carlson · Dec 11, 2023
Bad upgrade! All covers are gone!! I've loved and used this app for years. My books, covers and even my photos of old book covers have transferred from old phones twice, no problem. Until this last update! Now the covers on all 877 books are gone!! Books from 1970- Feb 2023. The app says to input old memory and I have! Still no images. Why? And why can't it just connect to book-cataloge, Google books or the other one it searches when you add a new book to get the covers?
★☆☆☆☆ anna galoosis · Jan 21, 2024
Lost all book cover pictures. New books won't scan. New books that do scan won't go with the others on the series.
