Organize your book collection
This app is for all the bookworms who want to keep their personal library organized and neat. It’s also for the ones who’ve ever picked up a book and wondered “Do I already have a copy of this one?”. Get in control and manage your books now with Pocket Library!

Quickly add books into your book collection with an ISBN scanner
We understand that it’s tough to sit and punch in all your books into an app. But book cataloging shouldn’t be all that tedious. Use our ISBN scanner to quickly scan books into your book catalog. We will fetch you the details along with the book cover and a book summary as well. Our scanner looks up a host of online book lists to ensure that your cataloging goes through without any hiccups.

Batch Scan to add several books without interruptions
Even with a barcode scanner, organizing books can be a daunting task when you first start out - a pile of books in front of you to scan, and the app takes you through screen after screen to get a single book added. Try our Batch Scan - pile up your books, take the scanner and go all guns blazing - bam! bam! bam! to scan books one after the other without any interruptions.

Search and find your books online
For times when you need to add books into your book catalog but don’t have them handy, you can use our book search. Search for titles or authors and tap on the results to add books to your book list. You can also shop for the book from the search results.

Find the next book you want to read
Use search when you’re hunting for something new to read - search, add, read book summaries and shop to get your next book. Go ahead and expand your home library!

Swiftly find books with Filters and Search
While adding a book to your book list, you can mark stuff like who you’ve lent the book to, whether you’ve read the book or not and you can even add it to your favorites. The next time you’re at a bookstore and you’re unsure of whether you have a book or not, use our search and filters to answer that real quick.

Keep your catalog safe with Backups
We know that your book collection is invaluable - and so should be your book catalog. Backup your book catalog into your phone and keep it safe when you need to format your phone, or when you uninstall apps. Restore the backup once you’re set.

Content that is clean and organized
We understand how much time you take to get your bookshelf organized. We have tried to apply the same meticulousness in how a book’s details are displayed - organized and clean. For books that have been looked up from Amazon, find the shop icon in the action bar of the book details page.
