Comments on LibraryThing for Android

★★★★★ Terri F · Jan 29, 2026

I'm able to scan most of my childhood books, and I love the mass tagging when I use the website. Sometimes it doesn't save my book covers on the app but overall great app.

★★★★☆ Randy Chrisman · May 26, 2026

I'm just getting started but so far I really like all that it provides. Pretty easy to maneuver around, but until you get used to it, it may take some patience. I'm just trying to find the barcode scanner to use my phones' camera to scan the books, but even with what and where to find it, I have no clue. They tell me to look for the "catalog page", well, I gave not seen anything that says catalog. I've found "add books" or "import books" but thete is no barcode an either of those pages.

★★★★☆ OASKANTA MISHRA · Aug 24, 2025

It's excellent for simple cataloging. Not segregating by shelf or location in the library. Also, the app crashes every time I try to delete a duplicate or wrong entry. Please fix this.

★★☆☆☆ Bianca Plunkett · Aug 8, 2025

Crashes sometimes when adding books, adds books I didn't scan, also crashes when I try to delete a book

★☆☆☆☆ Bry Voydatch · Oct 14, 2025

The app crashes when you delete a book from your catalog

★☆☆☆☆ Rachel · Jan 18, 2026

Librarything is great, and I appreciate that it's free but the app crashes every time I try to delete a book and crashes frequently when scanning to add books and when editing them too. When it does work it is good
