About this app

The LibraryThing app allows LibraryThing members to catalog and browse their collections. LibraryThing is focused on books, but you can add most media, including books, DVDs and CDs. LibraryThing relies on data from Amazon, and over 65 million library records.

Add books by searching for them or scanning their ISBN barcode with the camera.

Add high-resolution cover photos of your books with the cover editor and browse your books by cover type to find copies that need better covers.

Ratings and reviews

just downloaded the app, set up my account, and tried to start adding my books to it. I got 5 books in when it added a duplicate of one of my books, this time with no cover art. every attempt to delete the duplicate is met with an app crash. when I return to the app the book I tried to delete is STILL THERE. the last fix says they patched this issue, I somehow doubt that considering the error message I receive tells me to wait for a bug fix.

I've really been hoping this app would get fixed. it crashes so frequently, and has for years. it just is not reliable at all. I like the simplicity, but wish I could count on it working. I'm not sure why it hasn't improved over the years. I've seen updates, but nothing that has resolved the frequent crashing.

Edit: it's been better, let's hope it stays getting back to better so i can change this permanently. I've had this app for over a year now. In the beginning, it was great. Now, it crashes, gets stuck, perpetually "loads", never really getting there, and I can't see most covers. And on top of all this, it is ultra slow. Please fix it! I love being able to access what books I have/need/want!
