* 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.

Ratings and reviews

I've been using this app for years and it has easily transfered between multiple phones through exporting the library as a CSV file and uploading it into the new document. You also need to make sure that you transfer the pictures with the app assigned name or you would have to reattach those to each entry. Screenshots of a book I'm recomending has all the info anyone needs to get their own books. Great program! I also use this for collectable tracking too, really helps prevent double buys.

This is one of those apps that just ALWAYS works. Never any issues. Never any problems. It just does what it says it does. I am a book-a-holic and buy way more books then I will ever have time to read. This app helps me to keep them organized. Not only to remember which I own (useful when at the book store and can't remember if I already bought a book or not), but I can also rate them, save notes and/or reviews to share with friends if they ask me what I thought of a given book. After scanning in about a 1,000 books, it is also nice to be able to save and transfer all that data to a new device each time I buy one. I'm telling you, rescanning every single one of my books again, would not be fun. If you are looking for something to organize your collection, this is it, PERIOD. I have used it for multiple years and have not had one single issue. Absolute homerun for the dev.

Love love love this app for keeping track of my books! I've had it across several phones, and it's great for checking to see which books I do and don't have in certain book series if I'm at a garage sale or something. Highly recommend it. EDIT: Turns out the scanner I was using wasn't working, but switching to the pic2shop scanner fixed the problem!
