Ratings and reviews

I am a Readerware user for a great many years however this app needs to be upgraded especially when it comes to scanning and search. I recently upgraded my phone and it came with Android version 10 and I can upgrade it to 11 but the scanning properties will not work with this phone at this time, I can however use the search and scan manually and that works just fine all bit a little bit slower to see if I have a duplicate in my library before I buy a book.

I've been using Readerware on my PC forever and the mobile apps are a godsend for checking whether I already own a book, video, or recording. Email support is quick, helpful, and open to suggestions for improvement. In short, the cataloging software I've seen. A great feature is the ability, on the PC, to drag and drop Amazon and Audible URLs, especially for eBooks and audiobooks where there is no ISBN or ASIN to scan.

Great for keeping track of your books (& music & videos) I have been using it since the palm version but you do need to have the main program purchased for on your computer
