Book Catalogue

Evan Leybourn

About this app

An open source book cataloguing application (source on github). Books can be added manually, by ISBN, or barcode.

Remember to backup and export your existing catalogue before you upgrade!

Book Catalogue is NOT a book reader.

Features include:
* Sorting by author (last name), title, series, etc.
* user-defined sort and list styles
* Search Amazon, Google Books, goodreads and LibraryThing for data
* Searching
* Thumbnails (download, gallery or camera)
* Loaning books
* goodreads synchronization
* Export and Backup
* Bookshelves (books can be on multiple shelves)

Want a wishlist? Just create a bookshelf called 'Wishlist' and start adding books.

Please email us (below) if you have any issues after an upgrade.

Ratings and reviews

I started using this app years ago and although it is pretty clunky I really needed it because it synced with Goodreads and also allowed me to take notes on books. Unfortunately it lost its ability to sync with Goodreads because Goodreads changed its API. I still use it but I have to manually do things in Goodreads and in this app to keep them in sync. I'm going to start looking for another app that can sync with Goodreads.

What happened to this app? Have been using it for awhile now and all was going well. Now I haven't been able to scan books and many have had to put in manuallly. The best part of this app for me was the scanning the books in. Now I'll have to rescan scan 740 books into another app. I liked that this app wasn't over the top as I don't need all the extras some apps have. I liked the scan in, bookshelf sort, and read options this app provided.

Great app but ISB seems broken now. It's great for keeping track of all my books but lately the scan feature for adding books doesn't work. It scans and then sits there endlessly thinking about it. Even after shutting and reopening app it doesn't work. I tried using the manual ISB entry and that too doesn't work currently.
